Chapter 1 Safety Information 1.1 FCC Guidelines This equipment is for use by developers for evaluation purposes only and must not be incorporated into any other device or system. This device may not be sold to the general public. Integrators will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. FCC approval of this device only covers the original configuration of this device as supplied.
Safety Information installed, such as perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators which, in accordance with Section 15.31(d), must be measured at the installation site. However, the installer is responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the limits in this Part are not exceeded. 1.2 Regulatory Approval For Canada (IC RSS 210) This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

USB-KW24D512 Block Diagram 3.2.1 RF Performance and Considerations USB-KW24D512 transceiver includes a 1mW nominal output power, PA with internal voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), integrated transmit/receive switch, on-board power supply regulation, and full spread-spectrum encoding and decoding. The USB-KW24D512 utilizes a minimum number of components while providing good RF performance.
USB-KW24D512 3.2.2 Clocks The USB-KW24D512 provides one clock: • 32 MHz Reference Oscillator — Figure 3-5 shows the external 32 MHz external crystal Y1. This mounted crystal must meet the specifications outlined in the AN3251 application note. The IEEE 802.15.4 Standard requires that the frequency be accurate to less that +/-40 ppm. — Capacitors C10 and C11 provide the bulk of the crystal load capacitance. Onboard trim capacitors can be programmed to center the frequency.
