General Description
The BCM-3601-X02 is based on the BC3601 device
and which forms a Sub-1GHz FSK transceiver
module. The module can be used for wireless
applications in the 315MHz, 433MHz, 470MHz,
868MHz and 915MHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and
Medical) bands. The host MCU can communicate
with the device via a 3-wire or 4-wire SPI interface
for wireless data communications.

Module Points to Note
1. The recommended module crystal CL setup value is 0x18. The recommended 433MHz band TX Power setup
value is 0x3c(10dBm), 0x49(13dBm) and 0x8A(17dBm).
2. When attaching the module, it is not recommended to have traces underneath the module on the reverse side of
the PCB. The diagram shows a practical application.
Note: It is not recommended to have traces within the green frame area.
3. In practical applications ensure that metallic objects are kept as far away as possible from the antenna.
