1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
ISA100 is a wireless protocol standard defined for industrial automation for Process Control and related
applications. The architecture of ISA100 is designed to be in coexistence with other wireless systems
conforming to this standard, in addition to other networks operating at 2.4 GHz such as ZigBee™,
WirelessHART™, 6LoWPAN, IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth™, and RFID systems. The Gen X ISA100 Radio
Hardware Module is 2.4GHz band, 802.15.4 Radio based hardware, and can host multiple software protocol
stacks like ISA100, zigbee™, 802.15.4, and WirelessHART™.

2 Specifications
2.1 Features
1. The operational frequency ranges from 2.4 GHz to 2.483 GHz.
2. The maximum number of channels allowed is 16.
3. The channel spacing must be 5 MHz ((2405, 2410,…..2475).
4. The transmitted power varies from -5 dBm to +20 dBm (adjusted as perantenna).
5. The type of modulation technique used is direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).
6. The data rate is 250 kbps.
2.2 Electrical requirements
1. The operating voltage ranges from 2.7 Volts to 3.6 Volts.
2. The operating temperature ranges from -40 oC to +85 oC.
3. The electrical consumptions are:
Receive Mode (Rx): 19mA
Transmit Mode (Tx):80mA @16 dBm
Average Sleep Mode: 30uA (When Radio is not transmitting and receiving)
2. 3 Types of Antenna
The Antenna Connector used in the module is MMCX-J-P-H-ST-TH1, which is a Jack through-
hole connector and mates with all the MMCX Plug (preferred from Samtec). It is mandatory to
use a 50Ω connector towards the antenna for the described RF Power level performance.
The modular certification is performed for the antenna types (Refer to Table 1 Antenna Types).
The certification is void if you use any other antennas than the ones mentioned in the table.

3.2 Sensor-Radio Interface Connector Details
The mating connector that connects the Radio interface is SFM-105-02-S-D-LC
Samtec.
MOSI, MISO, CS, and SCLK are used for SPI communication between the Radio and the
Sensor, whereas GPIO is used as General Purpose Input/output as well as interruptible
configurable pin.
Note: GPIO_02 pin in the Sensor-Radio interface connector is used as Sensor Data Ready
interrupts (SDR).GPIO_01 is the inverse of Chip Select(SPI_CS).
