... PCB design guidelines for the STM32W108 platform 1 Introduction STMicroelectronics provides a IEEE 802.15.4 product design engineer with a number of paths towards the successful design of a IEEE 802.15.4-compliant solution based on the STMicroelectronics STM32W108 family of system-on-chip (SoC) platforms. The STM32W108xx kits contain software, hardware, and documentation designed for developers to create applications efficiently on a tested and controlled platform ...

AN3206 would yield higher signal voltage swings at the LNA input, making the input referred noise less significant and thereby improving sensitivity. However, this also increases the source resistance, thereby increasing the source noise voltage. In practice at the 700Ω ...

Non-RF design considerations 3 Non-RF design considerations To operate properly, each STM32W Reference design contains additional, non-RF components. These include a 24-MHz crystal, appropriate decoupling capacitors and RF test point as well as an InSight Port connector. 3.1 High-frequency (24-MHz) ...
