AMB9626 Compact Radio Module - High Performance 915 MHz Band Integrated MCU 16-bit Processor with 64kb flash + 6kb OEM radio module for 915 MHz frequencies Compact dimensions: 17 x 27 x 4 mm Integrated AMBER RF stack with extensive RAM functions Flexible addressing with up to 255 nodes in 255 networks R a n g e o f Ap p l i c a t i o n o Data collection FHSS conforming to FCC 15.247 o Monitoring Available on Tape & Reel for SMT assembly o Remote control Also available as wireless USB adapter (AMB9665) o Sensor networks 15dBm output power Supports Star and Peer-to-peer topologies The AMB9626 is a compact, low-cost and low power radio The AMB9626 is connected to a host system via the data transmission module for wireless half-duplex UART interface with data rates of up to 19200 kBaud. communication. The integrated microprocessor controls data Other pins are used for data flow control and to switch communication, handling packet and checksum generation, between operating modes. addressing, monitoring of channel access and re- Using appropriate firmware, the module is also suitable transmission of lost packets. The host system does not have for autonomously recording digital or analogue signals. to perform any radio-specific tasks. The receiving module is scanning all available channels The module can be configured in many ways and supports for active transmitters while the transmitter is randomly data transfer with fast address switching. It also implements selecting a transmission channel for each frame. asynchronous frequency hopping techniques in order to With the channel scanning a latency is introduced which comply with FCC 15.247. An opportunity to assess the has to be taken into account regarding the duty-cycle of quality of the radio link is also provided by using the the system. measured field strength (RSSI value). The main focus of the AMB9626 is spontaneous data The graphical user interface of the freely available Windows transmission with limited amount of data and a duty- application "AMBER-ACC" makes it easy to set operating cycle of 10% or less. parameters. A USB stick version is available to easily The AMB9626 implements a low power operating mode connect the AMB9626 to a PC system. where C and UART are disabled to have a current The AMB9626 is an SMT device and is suitable for below 3 A. automatic component assembly. It can also be delivered in tape and reel packaging. www.amber-wireless.com AMB9626 Specifications ABOUT AMBER WIRELESS RF data rate 38.4 kbps AMBER wireless GmbH, established in UART data rate Typ. 9600 Baud, max. 19200 Baud 1997, is a German electronics Output power Up to +15 dBm company.
