The PAN186CV is a high-performance, low-power RF transceiver module designed by Panasonic Industrial Devices. It operates on the 868 MHz frequency band, making it particularly suitable for European ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band applications. This module is engineered to simplify the integration of wireless communication into various electronic devices, offering a robust "drop-in" solution that minimizes the need for extensive RF engineering during the PCB design phase.
The PAN186CV is a compact, single-chip wireless SoC integrating a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4-compliant radio and an ARM Cortex-M microcontroller core, intended for low-power IoT endpoints (sensors, smart lighting, home automation, mesh networks). This brief consolidates typical datasheet information and practical design guidance for hardware and firmware engineers. pan186cv datasheet
