Description:

The RFM63 is a low cost transceiver module operating in the 868 and 915MHz frequency bands, The RFM63 is optimized for very low power consumption (3mA in receiver mode). It incorporates a baseband modem with data rates up to 200 kb/s. Data handling features include a sixty-four byte FIFO, packet handling, automatic CRC generation and data whitening. All major RF communication parameters are programmable and most of them may be dynamically set. It complies with European (ETSI EN 300-220 V2.1.1) and North American (FCC part 15.247 and 15.249) regulatory standards.

In order to better use RFM63 modules, this specification also involves a large number of the parameters and functions of its core chip RF63's, including those IC pins which are not leaded out. All of these can help customers gain a better understanding of the performance of RFM63 modules, and enhance the application skills.
