Product Descriptions – LTC5800-WHM
The LTC5800-WHM Mote-on-Chip™ combines Dust Networks’ robust sensor networking solution with Dust’s breakthrough EternaTM SoC Technology in an easy-to-integrate 72-pin 10 mm x 10 mm QFN package. As part of the SmartMesh WirelessHART system, the LTC5800-WHM enables customers to integrate a standards-based wireless network into sensors and actuators to provide scalable bidirectional communications.
The LTC5800-WHM is designed for use in line-powered, battery-powered, or energy-scavenging sensor and actuator applications that demand reliable performance and ultra-low power operation. With Dust Networks’ innovative IEEE 802.15.4-compliant design and integrated power amplifier, the LTC5800-WHM enables a decade of battery life on two AA batteries, including routing motes. All motes function as wireless routers, enabling a redundant, high performance, full-mesh topology.
Key Product Features
Highly Scalable
• Automatic network formation—new motes join
automatically from anywhere in the network
• All motes are wireless routers, providing a full-mesh
network that easily scales to tens of thousands of motes per
square kilometer
• Time-synchronized communication across 15 channels
virtually eliminates in-network collisions, allowing for
dense deployments in overlapping radio spaces
Superior Reliability
• Intelligent Networking Platform enables greater than
99.99% network reliability even in the most challenging
monitoring and control environments
• Time-synchronized channel hopping seamlessly
compensates for in band blocking and multipath fading in
dynamic RF environments
Ultra-low Power Operation
• Industry-leading radio technology capable of line-powered,
battery-powered, or energy-scavenged operation
• Automatic power optimization of every device in network,
enabling a decade of network operation on two Lithium AA
batteries
