Design faster using second-generation ZigBee technology



 


Freescale Semiconductor has launched three reference designs to accelerate projects using its second-generation ZigBee™-compliant System in Package (SiP) devices, including two modules featuring I2C connectivity and a design for a USB stick.

Each design targets the MC1321x family of IEEE802.15.4-compliant ICs that combine the RF transceiver, 8-bit MCU and a choice of Flash memory densities. The 1321x_ICB and 1321x_IPB modules emphasise compactness by using two-layer PCB construction, and include a chip antenna or printed F-type antenna respectively. Both modules feature a built-in UART, and the 1321x_IPB also includes an ADC. The 1321x_UCB USB-stick reference design follows a compact form factor using a chip antenna, and connects to the USB bus via a USB-to-UART interface IC. The module appears as a virtual COM port when connected to a personal computer
