The Decawave DW3000 datasheet provides specifications, pin configurations, and electrical characteristics for the UWB transceiver IC.
The DW3000 is a fully integrated, low‑power Ultra‑Wideband (UWB) transceiver IC that supports IEEE 802.15.4‑2015 and IEEE 802.15.4z. It can be used for two‑way ranging, TDoA and PDoA location schemes with an accuracy of about 10 cm in healthcare, consumer and industrial real‑time location systems.
The datasheet details the IC description, pin assignments for QFN and WLCSP packages, electrical specifications, functional description, power‑management options, application circuits, packaging dimensions and ordering information, plus a glossary of terms.
