Analog Devices Inc. LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF

Overview

LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a SmartMesh IP™ System-on-Chip (SoC) integrating an IEEE 802.15.4e radio, ARM Cortex-M3 microprocessor, and embedded SmartMesh IP networking stack. It delivers >99.999% network reliability, sub-50 µA routing node current, and operates across –55°C to +105°C for industrial wireless sensor networks in oil & gas, power substations, and hazardous environments.

For engineers reviewing the LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF datasheet, LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF pinout, LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF application, or LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world mesh networking specifications, and selection guidance for high-reliability, time-synchronized wireless deployments.

Technical Context

The LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF implements Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) per IEEE 802.15.4e, with network-wide time synchronization accurate to ±5 µs and per-transmission frequency hopping across 15 channels in the 2.400–2.4835 GHz band. Its autonomous MAC manages radio scheduling without CPU intervention, enabling <1% duty cycle operation.

It integrates a 72-pin 10 mm × 10 mm QFN package with on-chip PA/LNA, dual crystal interfaces (20 MHz and 32.768 kHz), and hardware-accelerated NIST-certified security. The SoC supports both routing and end-node roles natively, eliminating dedicated router hardware in self-healing mesh topologies.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range of the LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF?

The LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF is rated for –55°C to +105°C operation, making it suitable for extreme industrial environments such as oilfield downhole telemetry, power substation monitoring, and aerospace ground support equipment. This extended grade exceeds standard commercial and industrial IC specifications and is validated across the full range for RF performance, timing accuracy, and flash retention.

Does the LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF include an integrated radio transceiver?

Yes, the LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF integrates a complete 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4e radio transceiver with on-chip power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, and RF front-end matching. It requires only external decoupling capacitors, 20 MHz and 32.768 kHz crystals, and an antenna matching network - no external RF components are needed to achieve +8 dBm output and –93 dBm sensitivity.

How does the LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF achieve >99.999% network reliability?

The LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF achieves >99.999% network reliability through Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH), redundant spatially diverse paths, and network-wide time synchronization. Each packet is transmitted on a different frequency channel in a scheduled time slot, with automatic failover to alternate parents and channels if interference or obstruction occurs - all managed autonomously by the on-chip MAC engine.

Is SmartMesh IP software included with the LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF?

Yes, the LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF ships with the fully tested and validated SmartMesh IP networking stack pre-installed in on-chip flash memory. It includes a rich Application Programming Interface (API) for configuring network parameters, publishing sensor data, managing security keys, and monitoring health metrics - no additional license or stack porting is required.

What certifications apply to the LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF?

The LTC5800HWR-IPMA#PBF itself is not a modular-certified RF device; however, it serves as the core SoC in FCC/IC/CE-certified modules like the LTP5901/LTP5902-IPM. Its design complies with IEEE 802.15.4e, supports NIST SP 800-53 security controls, and meets IEC 62443-4-2 for secure development lifecycle - enabling end-product certification in industrial and utility applications.
