Data collection, monitoring, remote
control and sensor networks.
Its compact dimensions and low power
consumption make the radio module
ideal for battery-powered devices.
transmission module for wireless half-duplex
communication. The integrated microprocessor controls data
communication, handling packet and checksum generation,
addressing, monitoring of channel access and re-
transmission of lost packets. The host system does not have
to perform any radio-specific tasks.
INTERFACE
The AMB8626 is connected to a host
system via the UART interface with bit
rates of up to 115.2 kBaud. Other pins
are used for data flow control and to
switch between operating modes.
An SPI interface can be implemented
upon request (separate firmware).
The module can be configured in many ways and supports
Star
data transfer with fast channel and address switching. An
opportunity to assess the quality of the radio link is also
provided by using the measured field strength (RSSI value).
The graphical user interface of the freely available Windows
application “AMBER-ACC” makes it easy to set operating
parameters. A USB stick version is available to easily
connect the AMB8626 to a PC system.

Using appropriate firmware, the module is also suitable
for autonomously recording digital or analogue signals.
