1   Overview
    1.1   Introduction
          The RAK2247 is a family of LoRa concentrator cards with mini PCIe form factor
          based on SX1301, which enables an easy integration into an existing routers and
          others network equipment with LoRa Gateway capabilities.It can be used in any
          embedded platform offering a free mini-PCIe slot with SPI or USB connection.

          RAK2247 is a complete and cost efficient LoRa gateway solution offering up to 10
          programmable parallel demodulation paths. It targets at smart metering fixed
          networks and Internet of Things applications with up to 500 nodes per km2 in
          moderately interfered environment. The modules have the industry standard PCI
          Express Mini Card form factor, which enables easy integration into an application
          board and is also ideal for manufacturing of small series.

          The main features are listed below:

             Compatible with Mini PCI-e Edition specification with metal cooling fin.                            3
             SX1301 base band processor emulates 49 x LoRa demodulators 10 parallel
              demodulation paths, support 8 uplinks channel, 1 downlink channel.
             2 x SX125x Tx/Rx front-ends high/ low frequency.
             Build in FT2232H to convert SPI interface of SX1301 to USB2.0.
             Voltage of Mini PCI-e is 3.3v, compatible with 3G/LTE card of Mini PCI-e type.
             Supports latest LoRaWAN 1.0.2 protocol.
             Supports global license-free frequency band (EU433, CN470, EU868, US915,
              AS923, AU915, KR920, IN865 and AS920).
             Supports optional SPI or USB interfaces.

       As described in Figure 3, the RAK2247 card integrates one SX1301 chip and two
       SX1255/7 and other chip for RF signal, which represents the core of the device,
       providing the related LoRa modem and processing functional lilies. Additional
       signal conditioning circuitry is implemented for PCI Express Mini Card compliance,
       and one UFL connectors are available for external antennas integration.


2.2    Operating Frequencies
       The board supports all LoRaWAN frequency channels as below. Which is easy to
       configure while building the firmware from the source code.

2.4    Power Supply
       RAK2247 card must be supplied through the 3.3Vaux pins by a DC power supply.
       The voltage must be stable, because during this operation the current drawn from
       3.3Vaux can vary significantly, based on the power consumption profile of the
       SX1301 chip (see SX1301 DS).




2.5    SPI Interface
       A SPI interface is provided on the PCIe_SCK, PCIe_MISO, PCIe_MOSI,
       PCIe_CSN pins of the system connector. The SPI interface gives access to the
       configuration register of SX1301 via a synchronous full-duplex protocol. Only the
       slave side is implemented.
                                                                                                                7

2.6    USB Interface
       Note: RAK2247-SPI version don't have this interface.
       RAK2247 card can support the high speed USB to SPI by FT2232HL, it includes a
       high-speed USB 2.0 compliant interface with maximum 480 Mb/s data rate,
       representing the interface for any communication with an external host application
       processor. The module itself acts as a USB device and can be connected to any
       USB host equipped with compatible drivers. For more information, please refer to
       the data sheet of FT2232HL.




2.7    1PPS
       RAK2247 card includes the 1PPS input for received packets time-stamped.

2.8    RESET
       RAK2247 card includes the RESET active-high input signal to reset the radio
       operations as specified by the SX1301 Specification.



2.9    Antenna RF Interface
       The modules have one RF interfaces over a standard UFL connectors (Hirose U.
       FL-R-SMT) with a characteristic impedance of 50OHM. The RF port (J1) supports
       both Tx and Rx, providing the antenna interface.



2.10   Electrical Characteristics
       Stressing the device above one or more of the ratings listed in the Absolute
       Maximum Rating section may cause permanent damage. These are stress ratings
       only. Operating the module at these or at any conditions other than those specified
       in the Operating Conditions sections of the specification should be avoided.
       Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating conditions for extended periods may affect                              8
       device reliability. The operating condition range define those limit within which the
       functionality of the device is guaranteed.
