Semtech Corporation announced the launch of LoRa® Smart Home, a device designed for LPWAN based smart home, community and consumer applications. The transceiver provides low power, broad coverage for indoor and neighborhood area IoT devices connecting to sensors and actuators for safety, environmental and convenience use cases. The new transceiver is intended for battery-powered sensors with multi-year operation. It features 600nA of sleep current and 4.6 mA of active receive current consumption. With support for LoRa modulation for low power LAN use cases and (G)FSK modulation for legacy use cases, this device is compatible with existing LoRaWAN-based networks and supports proprietary protocols. Continuous frequency coverage from 150 MHz to 960 MHz allows the support of all major sub-GHz ISM bands around the world. Key Product Features of LoRa Smart Home (LLCC68): High sensitivity to -126 dBm; +22 dBm output power with high efficiency PA; System works well even when the signal is 10dB below noise; Minimal external BOM/matching; Small size foot print, 24-pin 4x4; Works with existing LoRaWAN-based gateways; <5 mA RX current consumption; 25 mA TX at +14dBm; Integrated DC-DC and LDO; and Supports LoRaWAN and other protocols.
