RC2400/RC2400HP

ZigBee®- Ready RF Transceiver Modules
Product Description
The RC2400 and RC2400HP RF Transceiver Modules are a series of compact surfacemounted modules specially designed for the ZigBee® PRO protocol stack. It can also be
used for other for wireless star and mesh networks based on IEEE 802.15.4 compliant PHY
and MAC.
The complete shielded module is only 12.7 x 25.4 x 3.3 mm and comes in both a low current
variant (RC2400) and a High Power version with LNA and power amplifier for extended range
(RC2400HP). The two variants are pin compatible.
