The SPIRIT1 device is a very low-power, high performance RF transceiver intended for RF wireless applications in the sub-1 GHz band. It is designed to operate at 169, 315, 433, 868, and 915 MHz frequencies, and supports the following modulations: 2-FSK, GFSK, MSK, OOK, and ASK. The air data rate is programmable from 1 to 500 kbps, depending on the selected modulation.

It has an integrated SMPS for very low power consumption: 9 mA in Rx and 21 mA in Tx mode at +11 dBm.
It uses a very small number of discrete external components and integrates a configurable baseband modem which supports data management, modulation and demodulation. Data management supports our proprietary, fully-programmable packet format, as well as the MBus standard compliance format (all performance classes).

The SPIRIT1 is the native HW supporting the low level of the WM-Bus PHY protocol.
