LPR430R 0/4/6 he main firmware components in the LPR430R include the 80.5.4 Media Access ontrol (MA) layer and the L V.0 etworking Layer. L V.0 supports up to 63 remotes. etwork topologies include point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and peer-to-peer. L employs one-hop relay forwarding to mitigate network transmission problems such as multipath fading. L includes provisions for low-power sleep mode operation with periodic wakeup and report. he L Application Programming Interface (API) provides an easy-to-use, flexible set of application commands and functions. he API includes support for send/receive serial data, read/write PI, read A inputs, write PWM outputs and module configuration services. In addition, L supports analog and digital binding, which maps an A measurement and the states of two digital inputs on one LPR430R to a PWM output and two digital outputs on another LPR430R. See the LPR430 Series Integration uide for complete details of the L API. 3 of 6

It is important that this connection be implemented as a 50 ohm stripline. Referring to Figure 3, the width of this stripline depends on the thickness of the circuit board between the stripline and the groundplane. For FR-4 type circuit board materials (dielectric constant of 4.7), the width of the stripline is equal to.75 times the thickness of the circuit board. ote that other circuit board traces should be spaced away from the stripline to prevent signal coupling, as shown in Figure 4. he stripline trace should be kept short to minimize its insertion loss. r ip lin e r a c e e a il o p p e r S r ip lin e ra c e ir c u i B o a r d S o p p e r ro u n d la n e F B M a e r ia l F o r 0 o h m im p e d a n c e W =.7 race Separation from 50 hm Microstrip Length of race Run Parallel to Microstrip 00 mil 5 mil 50 mil 00 mil 00 mil 90 mil 50 mil 450 mil 300 mil 650 mil * H Figure 3 00-06 by Murata lectronics.a., Inc.
