Freescale Semiconductor

can be scaled to fit applications ranging from simple point-to-point systems, through complete ZigBee™

networking.

Applications include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

Residential and commercial automation

— Lighting control

— Security

— Access control

— Heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (HVAC)

— Automated meter reading (AMR)

•

Industrial Control

— Asset tracking and monitoring

— Homeland security

— Process management

— Environmental monitoring and control

—HVAC

— Automated meter reading

•

Health Care

— Patient monitoring

— Fitness monitoring

The transceiver includes a low noise amplifier, 1.0 mW power amplifiers (PA), onboard RF

transmit/receive (T/R) switch for single port use, PLL with internal voltage controlled oscillator (VCO),

on-board power supply regulation, and full spread-spectrum encoding and decoding. The device supports

250 kbps Offset-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK) data in 2.0 MHz channels with

5.0 MHz channel spacing per the IEEE 802.15.4 specification. The SPI port and interrupt request output

are used for receive (RX) and transmit (TX) data transfer and control.

2Features

•

Recommended power supply range: 2.0 to 3.4 V

•

Fully compliant IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver supports 250 kbps O-QPSK data in 5.0 MHz channels

and full spread-spectrum encode and decode

•

Operates on one of 16 selectable channels in the 2.4 GHz band

•

-1 to 0 dBm nominal output power, programmable from -27 dBm to +3 dBm typical

•

Receive sensitivity of <-92 dBm (typical) at 1% PER, 20-byte packet, much better than the IEEE

802.15.4 specification of -85 dBm

•

Integrated transmit/receive switch

•

Dual PA output pairs which can be programmed for full differential single port or dual port

operation that supports an external LNA and/or PA

•

Three power down modes for increased battery life
