The recommended operating temperature range for the MC13201FCR2 is -40°C to +85°C, although it can tolerate storage temperatures from -55°C to +150°C.
To configure the MC13201FCR2 for optimal power consumption, use the lowest possible clock frequency, disable unnecessary peripherals, and use the power-saving modes (e.g., sleep, standby) when the device is not in use.
The maximum transmit power of the MC13201FCR2 is +20 dBm (100 mW) for the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Yes, the MC13201FCR2 can be used with an external antenna. However, the antenna must be designed to match the device's 50-ohm impedance and meet the regulatory requirements for the target frequency band.
To implement frequency hopping with the MC13201FCR2, use the device's built-in frequency synthesizer and configure the hopping sequence using the device's registers. The frequency hopping algorithm must be implemented in the host microcontroller.
