The AT86RF233-ZU is an integrated circuit manufactured by Microchip that provides a transceiver for a variety of short-range wireless protocols. It is housed in a small QFN32 (Quad Flat No-Leads) package and operates over a voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V. The IC features a simple SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) and a transceiver baseband that supports a wide variety of industry standard protocols like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and sub-GHz protocol ISM bands. It also features a dual-channel software-defined radio, enabling it to accommodate both narrow and wideband frequencies. Additionally, it has digital frequency synthesis and integrated DSSS and OFDM signal modulation, providing a competitive edge in performance with superior interference immunity and selectivity. This IC also supports 4 Mbps for robust communication, making it a viable choice for smart home or building automation applications.
