onsemi AXM0F343-256-915-1-GEVK Evaluation Board

onsemi AXM0F343-256-915-1-GEVK Evaluation Kit is a complete and flexible, ready-to-go solution for testing, evaluating, and prototyping with the AXM0F343 Ultra-Low-Power Sub-GHz Wireless SoC. The AXM0F343 combines the field-proven narrow-band AX5043 RF Transceiver with a high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M0+ Microcontroller (MCU). The AXM0F343 offers a wide array of modulation schemes, a frequency range from 27MHz to 1050MHz, and data rates from 100bps to 125kbps. 

The onsemi AXM0F343-256-915-1-GEVK Evaluation Kit includes two Evaluation Boards (GEVB) equipped with an onboard J-link programmer, micro-USB cables, and whip antennas. The SDK provided with the Evaluation Kit is the onsemi IDE, which includes several example projects.

The AXM0F343-256-915-1-GEVK Evaluation Boards include the AXM0F343 variant with 256kB Flash, and the RF matching network is tuned for 915MHz operation.

The Evaluation Boards can be powered via USB, CR2032 battery, or an external 3.3V DC source via the Arduino-compatible header. Both SWD and Serial interfaces are provided via the onboard J-Link connector. The AXM0F343 can be configured to output the RF signal via a differential load network that supports both TX and RX or a power-efficient single-ended network that only supports TX.

By default, the Evaluation Boards do not have the single-ended SMA connector installed, as the example software is configured to use the differential interface. Software configuration must be done to switch between differential and single-ended output networks.
