Selection Guide
General Description
A8125 is a high performance and low cost 2.4GHz ISM band FSK/GFSK system-on-chip (SoC) wireless transceiver chip. This device integrates high speed pipeline 8051 MCU, 16KBytes In-system programmable flash memory, 256Bytes internal data RAM, 256Bytes external data RAM, various powerful functions and excellent performance of 2.4GHz RF transceiver. A8125 has various operating modes, making it highly suited for systems where ultra-low power consumption is required.

A8125 supports 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layers and physical layers except RF modulation. A8125 does not support DSSS but GFSK/ FSK modulation. Besides, A8125 also supports preparatory data frame (protocol) to communicate with AMICCOM 2.4GHz RFIC, like A7125 and A7137.

A8125 supports fast settling time for frequency hopping system. For packet handling, A8125 has built-in separated 64-bytes TX/RX FIFO for data buffering and burst transmission, auto-ack and auto-resend, CRC for error packet filtering, FEC for 1-bit data correction per code word, RSSI for clear channel assessment, thermal sensor for monitoring relative temperature, WOR (Wake on RX) function to support periodically wake up from sleep mode to RX mode and listen for incoming packets without MCU interaction, data whitening for data encryption / decryption. Those functions are very easy to use while developing a wireless system.
