Introduction
Summary
ATZB-S1-256-3-0-U ZigBit® is an ultra-compact and low-power 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee® OEM module from Atmel. ATZB-S1-256-3-0-UF ZigBit is a variant that is designed to operate in extended temperature range of -40⁰C to +125⁰C.
Based on the innovative mixed-signal hardware platform from Atmel, this module uses the ATmega256RFR2 SoC with the 8-Bit AVR 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 time-consuming RF development, and shortens time-to-market for wireless applications.
The module has an U.FL RF connector that can be used to connect any of the approved antenna1– cable assemblies. This gives freedom to applications to choose the external antenna1 that can be mounted on an end product.
The ZigBit module is compatible with robust IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee stack that supports a self-healing, self-organizing mesh network, while optimizing network traffic and minimizing power consumption.
