onsemi Sigfox Development Kits
onsemi Sigfox Development Kits can be used to quickly develop Sigfox connected applications using Sigfox SoC (System-on-Chip) solutions. A free two-year Sigfox subscription is included. The kits are pre-programmed with the Sigfox stack and a comprehensive but easy-to-use serial protocol based on AT commands.
An external application processor is needed to use this solution. Designers who want to develop a self-contained Sigfox application should use the AX-SFxx-API solution. The development kits also serve as a reference design.
The designer can copy and paste the reference design to the application board and reuse the DVK Sigfox ready ™ certification (P1). The reference design has also been checked for regulatory compliance, minimizing risk for product-level compliance.
The onsemi Sigfox Development Kits have an SMA connector to conducted and radiated measurements using the included whip antenna.
The DVK can be operated one of two ways:
• Connected by ribbon cable to the included AXDBG-2-GEVK virtual COM port, which allows a terminal emulator on a PC to communicate and operate the DVK interactively. Power supply current can be measured through a header on the AXDBG-2-GEVK board.
• Alternatively, the designer can connect power, ground, and a UART to the application processor and use the DVK as a modem for the application. Please note that the UART operates at the voltage supplied to the kit and can be any voltage in the range of 2V to 3.3V.
