[CNX-Software] - XCVR LoRa-based IoT development board & reference design features SX1261, SX1262, or LLCC68 chip

Semtech Corporation and “Connected Development” engineering firm have launched the XCVR development board and reference design based on Sentech SX1261, SX1262, or LLCC68 transceivers with the last one targeting Smart Home applications. The XCVR development board is actually an Arduino shield that’s been tested with Nordic nRF52840-DK board, but should work with most boards equipped with Arduino Uno headers. It can be used for the design of LPWAN IoT applications using SX1262x transceivers such as smart meters, industrial controllers, asset tracking, building automation, smart agriculture, etc… while the LLCC68 model is more useful for Smart Home applications and consumer devices. XCVR shield specifications and features: LoRa and FSK Modem Programmable bit rate up to 62.5 kbps LoRa and 300 kbps FSK External antenna Link budget 163 dB maximum for SX1261 170 dB maximum for SX1262 configurations. Tx Power +15 dBm high-efficiency PA for SX1261 +22 dBm or +15 dBm high-efficiency [...]
