Analog Devices Inc. ADuCRF101 Precision Analog MCUs
Analog Devices ADuCRF101 Precision Analog Microcontrollers provide a fully integrated, data acquisition solution for low-power, wireless applications. They feature a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a low-power ARM® Cortex®-M3 processor, 862MHz to 928MHz, and 431MHz to 464MHz RF transceiver, and Flash®/EE memory. The ADuCRF101 is packaged in a 9mm × 9mm LFCSP. The data acquisition section consists of a 12-bit SAR ADC. The six inputs can be configured in single-ended or differential mode.When configured in single-ended mode, they can be used for ratiometric measurements on sensors that are powered, when required, from the internal low dropout regulator (LDO). An internal battery monitor channel and an on-chip temperature sensor are also available. This wireless data acquisition system is designed to operate in battery-powered applications where low power is critical. The device can be configured in normal operating mode or different low power modes under direct program control. In flexi-mode, any peripheral can wake up the device and operate it. In hibernate mode, the internal wake-up timer remains active. In shutdown mode, only an external interrupt can wake up the device.
