Introduction
Summary
ATZB-S1-256-3-0-C ZigBit® is an ultra-compact and low-power 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee® OEM module from Atmel. Based on the innovative mixed-signal hardware platform from Atmel, this module uses the ATmega256RFR2 SoC with the AVR 8-Bit Microcontroller and a high data rate transceiver for the 2.4GHz ISM band. The radio transceiver provides high data rates from 250kb/s up to 2Mb/s, frame handling, outstanding receiver sensitivity and high transmit output power enabling a very robust wireless communication. The module is designed for wireless sensing, monitoring, control, data acquisition applications, to name a few. This ZigBit module eliminates the need for costly and timeconsuming RF development, and shortens time-to-market for wireless applications.
The module has an MS-147 RF connector that can be used as an RF test port. The built-in chip antenna is designed and tuned for the ZigBit design to enable quick integration of the ZigBit into any application.
