ZigBit™ 2.4 GHz Amplified Wireless Modules 2-5 8228B–MCU Wireless–06/09 Section 2 Zigbit™ Module Overview
2.1 Overview
ZigBit™ Amp is an extended-range, low-power, high sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee OEM module, which occupies less than a square inch of space. Based on a solid combination of Atmel's latest MCU Wireless hardware platform, power amplifier and low-noise amplifier, the ZigBit Amp offers an unmatched combination of superior radio performance, ultra-low power consumption and exceptional ease of integration. Figure 2-1. ATZB-A24-UFL/UN Block Diagram ZigBit Amp modules contains Atmel's ATmega1281V Microcontroller [4] and AT86RF230 RF Trans- ceiver [5]. The module features 128K bytes flash memory and 8K bytes RAM. The compact all-in-one-chip integration of output Power Amplifier and input Low-Noise Amplifier, along with RF switches enables digital control of an external RF front-end to dramatically improve ZigBit's range performance on signal transmission and increas e its sensitivity. This ensures stable connectivity with larger coverage area without significant increase in module size. The HF U.FL coaxial connector [6] used in the ATZB-A24-UFL module enables the user to choose appropriate external antenna for every type of application. ZigBit Amp already contains a complete RF/MCU design with all the nec essary passive components included. The module can be easily mounted on a simple 2-layer PCB with a minimum of required exter- nal connection. Compared to a custom RF/MCUsolution, a module-based solution offers considerable savings in development time and NRE cost per unit during the design, prototyping, and mass production phases of product development.

Zigbit™ Module Overview ZigBit™ 2.4 GHz Amplified Wireless Modules 2-6 8228B–MCU Wireless–06/09 To jumpstart evaluation and development, Atmel also offers a complete set of evaluation and develop- ment tools. The new ZigBit Amp Development Kit [7] (ATZB-DK-A24) comes with everything you need to create custom applications featuring ZigBit Amp module. The kit features MeshBean development boards with an easy-to-access extension connector for attach- ing third party sensors and other peripherals, and a JTAG connector for easy application uploading and debugging. The kit also includes reference applications to sp eed up application development, source code for hard- ware interface layer and reference drivers for the all the module interfaces, intuitive development environment from Atmel, and comprehensive set of application notes and product tutorials. ZigBit Amp modules comes bundled with BitCloud, a 2 nd generation embedded software stack from Atmel. BitCloud is fully compliant with ZigBee PR O and ZigBee standards for wireless sensing and con- trol [7], [8], [9], and it provides an augmented set of APIs which, while maintaining 100% compliance with the standard, offer extended functionality designed with developer's convenience and ease-of-use in mind. Depending on end-user design requirements, ZigBit Amp can operate as a self-contained sensor node, where it would function as a single MCU, or it c an be paired with a host processor driving the module over a serial interface. In the former case, a user application may be used with the BitCloud software allowing customization of embedded applications through BitCloud's C API. In the latter case, the host processor controls data transmission and manages module peripherals via an extensive set of SerialNet AT commands. Thus, no firmware customization is required for a successful module design-in. Additionally, third-party sensor s can be connected directly to the module, thus expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces.

ZigBit™ 2.4 GHz Amplified Wireless Modules 3-12 8228B–MCU Wireless–06/09 Notes: 1. The UART_TXD pin is intended for input (i.e. its designation as "TXD" implies some complex system containing ZigBit Amp as its RF terminal unit), while UART_RXD pin, vice versa is for output. 2. Most of pins can be configured for general purpos e I/O or for some alternate functions as described in details in the ATmega1281V Datasheet [3]. 3. GPIO pins can be programmed eith er for output, or for input with/w ithout pull-up resistors. Output pin drivers are strong enough to drive LED displays directly (refer to figures on pages 387-388, [3]). 4. All digital pins are provided with protection diodes to D_VCC and DGND 5. It is strongly recommended to avoid assigning an alternate function for OSC32K_OUT pin because it is used by BitCloud. However, this signal can be used if another peripheral or host processor requires 32.768 kHz clock, otherwise this pin can be disconnected. 6. Normally, JTAG_TMS, JTAG_TDI, JTAG_TDO, JTAG _TCK pins are used for on-chip debugging and flash burning. They can be used for A/D conversion if JTAGEN fuse is disabled. 7. The following pins can be configured with the Bi tCloud software to be general-purpose I/O lines: GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3, GPIO4, GPIO5, GPIO6, GPIO7, GPIO8, GPIO_1WR, I2C_CLK, I2C_DATA, UART_TXD, UART_RXD, UART_RTS, UART_CTS, ADC_INPUT_3, ADC_INPUT_2, ADC_INPUT_1, BAT, UART_DTR, USART0_RXD, USART0_TXD, USART0_EXTCLK, IRQ_7, IRQ_6. Additionally, four JTAG lines can be programmed with software as GPIO as well, but this requires changing the fuse bits and will disable JTAG debugging. 8. With BitCloud, CTS pin can be configured to indicate sleep/active condition of the module thus provid- ing mechanism for power management of host proce ssor. If this function is necessary, connection of this pin to external pull-down resistor is reco mmended to prevent the undesirable transients during module reset process.

3.4 Mounting Information
The below diagrams show the PCB layout recommended for ZigBit Amp module. Neither via-holes nor wires are allowed on the PCB upper layer in area occu pied by the module. As a critical requirement, RF_GND pins should be grounded via several holes to be located right next to pins thus minimizing inductance and preventing both mismatch and losses. Figure 3-4. ATZB-A24-UFL/U0 PCB Recommended Layout, Top View
3.5 Soldering Profile
The J-STD-020C-compliant soldering profile is recommended according to Table 3-7. Note: 1. The package is backward compatible with PB/Sn soldering profile. Table 3-7.

ZigBit™ 2.4 GHz Amplified Wireless Modules 3-15 8228B–MCU Wireless–06/09
3.6 Antenna Reference Design
Multiple factors affect proper antenna match, hence, affecting the antenna pattern. The particular factors are the board material and thickness, shields, the material used for enclosure, the board neighborhood, and other components adjacent to antenna. General Recommendations: Metal enclosure should not be used. Using low profile enclosure might also affect antenna tuning. Placing high profile components next to antenna should be avoided. Having holes punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board edges also distorting antenna pattern. ZigBit Amp module should not be placed next to consumer electronics which might interfere with ZigBit Amp's RF frequency band. The board design should prevent propagation of micr owave field inside the board material. Electromag- netic waves of high frequency may penetrate the board thus making the edges of the board radiate, which may distort the antenna pattern. To eliminate this effect, metalized and grounded holes must be placed around the board's edges.
