RAK833-SPI/USB

Target for development & femtocell gateways

  • Supports both SPI and USB interface
  • Includes FT3323H chips
  • USB interface allows for easy integration with a lot of different controller boards in the development stage.
  • With the USB port, you can easily access information of I2C, SPI, serials, and can do better troubleshooting.
  • Without the FTDI, if any troubleshoot is needed then you have to go by soldering and can put the PCB in danger.

LoRa Gateway Frequency Band

  • 433 (433MHz - 435MHz)
  • 470 (RX: 470MHz - 490MHz)(TX: 490MHz - 520MHz)
  • EU 868 (865MHz - 872MHz)
  • AS 923 (923MHz - 925MHz)
  • AU 915 (915MHz - 928MHz)
  • US 915 (902MHz - 928MHz)

Where to use RAK833-SPI/USB

  • Industrial router
  • IoT Gateway
  • VPN Router
  • Industrial computer

Supports SPI and USB interface

RAK833 refer Semtech's reference design of SX1301, add a 4 channel SPDT to switch SPI of SX1301 to PCI edge connector or FT2232H which coverts SPI to USB2.0 interface

An SPI interface is provided on the PCIe_SCK, PCIe_MISO, PCIe_MOSI, PCIe_CSN pins of the system connector. The SPI interface gives access to the configuration register of SX1301 via a synchronous full-duplex protocol. Only the slave side is implemented.

Supports high speed USB to SPI by FT2232H, it includes a high-speed USB2.0 compliant interface with maximum 480Mb/s data rate, representing the interface for any communication with an external host application processor. The module itself acts as a USB device and can be connected to any USB host equipped with compatible drivers. For more information, please refer to the data sheet of FT2232H.

Product Specification

  • Frequency band 868MHz & 915MHz
  • Standard Mini PCI-e form factor with 52 Pin
  • Voltage of Mini PCI-e is 3.3v which is compatible with 3G/LTE card of mini-PCIe type
  • Max. Tx power is 25dbm & sensitivity - 136.5dbm
  • Interfaces USB & SPI
  • SX1301 base band processor emulates 49 x LoRa demodulators 10 parallel demodulation paths
  • Module build in FT2232H to convert SPI interface of SX1301 to USB2.0
