1. Overview
The compact designed USB radio sticks deRFusb-23E00 and deRFusb-13E00 contain a
powerful CORTEX-M3 microcontroller with 256 kBytes High-Speed Flash. Additional flash
memory to store user defined data is provided using the USB radio sticks deRFusb-23E06
and deRFusb-13E06, it is usable as mass storage device.
Depending on the transmission frequency of 2.4 GHz - deRFusb-23E00/06/JTAG - or
868/915 MHz - deRFusb-13E00/06/JTAG - the ATMEL low-power transceivers AT86RF231
or alternatively AT86RF212 are integrated. They provide a complete radio transceiver inter-
face between the antenna and the microcontroller and an extended functional range such as
a 128-Bit AES hardware engine to assure data security.
The USB radio sticks provide a programming and debugging interface to the user, by default
via USB. For programming via JTAG, the variants deRFusb-23E00 JTAG, deRFusb-23E06
JTAG, deRFusb-13E00 JTAG and deRFusb-13E06 JTAG are available.
