Murata Type 1SJ Integrated LoRaWAN® Modem

Murata Type 1SJ Integrated LoRaWAN® Modem measures 10mm x 8mm x 1.6mm and is suitable for a wide range of high-volume applications where small size, long-range, extended battery life, security, and a competitive price point are requirements. Based upon a second-generation Semtech SX1262 radio frequency IC (RFIC), the Type 1SJ LoRa module also features an open STM32L0 microcontroller (MCU) from STMicroelectronics along with an RF switch, 192kB of Flash memory, and 20kB of RAM. This extensive memory provision ensures sufficient resources are available for the application layers. Also housed in the tiny module is a temperature-controlled crystal oscillator (TXCO) and multiple communication interfaces, including UART/I2C/SPI/ADC/USB and various GPIOs.

Operating from a single supply rail (up to 3.9VDC), the Type 1SJ module incorporates several low-power modes that allow the real-time clock (RTC) to operate while drawing a typical current of 1.3µA. This enhanced current consumption allows devices to operate from a single battery for years. The open MCU enables the module to be easily flashed with code from Trusted Objects “TO Protect Library” that ensures the Flash memory is secure and encrypted, protecting the end system against the ever-increasing threat of malicious tampering. The resin mold package provides physical ruggedness, allowing the module to operate across a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
