LMT1/LMR1
VHF Narrow Band FM Low Cost multi channel radio modules
The LMT1 transmitter and LMR1
receiver modules offer a multi channel,
low power, and reliable VHF data link.
This makes the LMT1/LMR1 pair ideally
suited to those low power applications
where existing wideband modules have
insufficient range, or where low cost
multi-channel operation is needed
without
compromising
on
RF
specification or regulatory requirement.

Notes:
1. Serial programming is by an inverted, CMOS logic level, 2400 baud RS232 datastream applied
to the P0 pin.
2. Channel select inputs have pullups (50kΩ) to 3v internal rail. Do not exceed 3V logic levels on
this port.
3. Channel select inputs are active low
4. TXE has a 100kΩ pullup to Vcc
5. All pins are on an 0.1" grid
6. The pins 5a/b are not present, but are included in footprint for compatibility with other units in
this family
7. In the 'off' state a PIN switch open circuits the RF output pin. There are no 'off' state spuri.
8. Unit will operate (with marginally reduced specifications and lower (6-8mW) output power)
from a 3.0V rail. This must be well regulated and without noise or ripple, as in this state the
unit's internal regulator no longer operates, and provides no supply rejection.
9. 100mW versions should not be run continuously from supply voltages > 9v

NOTES:
1. Serial programming is by an inverted, cmos logic level, 2400 baud RS232 datastream applied to
the P0 pin.
2. Channel select inputs have pullups (50kΩ) to 3v internal rail. Do not exceed 3v logic levels on
this port.
3.
Channel select inputs are active low
4.
All pins are on an 0.1" grid
5.
Data recovery circuit used for RXD is not a simple 'average and compare' type. It is a peak
sampling quasi-DC coupled design, allowing a greater than usual flexibility in data format.
6.
Unit will operate (with marginally reduced specifications) from a 3.0v rail. This must be well
regulated and without noise or ripple, as in this state the unit's internal regulator no longer
operates, and provides no supply rejection.
