LT Series Transceiver Module Data Guide ! Warning: Some customers may want Linx radio frequency (“RF”) products to control machinery or devices remotely, including machinery or devices that can cause death, bodily injuries, and/or property damage if improperly or inadvertently triggered, particularly in industrial settings or other applications implicating life-safety concerns (“Life and Property Safety Situations”). Table of Contents 1^ 1^ 1^ NO OEM LINX REMOTE CONTROL OR FUNCTION MODULE SHOULD EVER BE USED IN LIFE AND PROPERTY SAFETY SITUATIONS. No OEM Linx Remote Control or Function Module should be modified for Life and Property Safety Situations. Such modification cannot provide sufficient safety and will void the product’s regulatory certification and warranty. 2^ Customers may use our (non-Function) Modules, Antenna and Connectors as part of other systems in Life Safety Situations, but only with necessary and industry appropriate redundancies and in compliance with applicable safety standards, including without limitation, ANSI and NFPA standards. It is solely the responsibility of any Linx customer who uses one or more of these products to incorporate appropriate redundancies and safety standards for the Life and Property Safety Situation application. 9^ Do not use this or any Linx product to trigger an action directly from the data line or RSSI lines without a protocol or encoder/ decoder to validate the data. Without validation, any signal from another unrelated transmitter in the environment received by the module could inadvertently trigger the action. All RF products are susceptible to RF interference that can prevent communication. RF products without frequency agility or hopping implemented are more subject to interference. This module does not have a frequency hopping protocol built in. Do not use any Linx product over the limits in this data guide. Excessive voltage or extended operation at the maximum voltage could cause product failure. Exceeding the reflow temperature profile could cause product failure which is not immediately evident. Do not make any physical or electrical modifications to any Linx product. This will void the warranty and regulatory and UL certifications and may cause product failure which is not immediately evident. 2^ 3^ 5^ 9^ 10^ 10^ 12^ 12^ 13^ 13^ 14^ 15^ 16^ 17^ 18^ 19^ 19^ 20^ 21^ 21^ 23^ 24^ 24^ 24^ Description Features Applications Ordering Information Absolute Maximum Ratings Electrical Specifications Typical Performance Graphs PIN Assignments Pin Descriptions Module Description Theory of Operation Using LADJ Using the RSSI Line Using the PDN Line ESD Concerns Using the Data Line Power Supply Requirements Transferring Data Typical Applications Antenna Considerations Helpful Application Notes from Linx Protocol Guidelines Interference Considerations Pad Layout Board Layout Guidelines Microstrip Details Production Guidelines Hand Assembly Automated Assembly  26^ General Antenna Rules 28^ Common Antenna Styles 30^ Regulatory Considerations LT Series Transceiver Module Data Guide Description 0.619" The LT Series transceiver is ideal for the bidirectional wireless transfer of serial data, control or command 0.630" TRM-433-LT information in the favorable 260–470MHz band. The LOT TX4xxx transceiver is capable of generating +10dBm into a 50-ohm load and achieves an outstanding typical sensitivity of –112dBm. Its advanced synthesized 0.125" architecture delivers outstanding stability and Figure 1: Package Dimensions frequency accuracy and minimizes the effects of antenna pulling. When paired, the transceivers form a reliable wireless link that is capable of transferring data at rates of up to 10,000bps over distances of up to 3,000 feet (1000m). Applications operating over shorter distances or at lower data rates will also benefit from increased link reliability and superior noise immunity. Housed in a tiny reflow-compatible SMD package, the transceiver requires no external RF components except an antenna, which greatly simplifies integration and lowers assembly costs.
