The ZPM3570 is built around Ember's EM357 ZigBee RFIC coupled with a power amplifier and low noise amplifier to increase the RF transmit power and receive sensitivity. The 100mW coupled with the -103dBm receive sensitivity provides exceptional range. The on-module antenna keeps device costs low by eliminating the cost of a separate antenna.

ZIGBEE PRO SMART ENERGY AND HOME AUTOMATION

The two areas where ZigBee is developing significant traction is in the Smart Grid and Energy Management areanas. The ZPM supports these applications through its support of the ZigBee Smart Energy and Home Automation profiles. An intuitive API simplifies connecting the ZPM3570 to an application processor to quickly implement products providing vendor interoperable Smart Energy and Home Automation operation. OEMs wishing to implement their own application in addition to the ZigBee stack can take advantage of the 32-bit M3 Coretex ARM processor in the module. This can eliminate the need for any separate application co-processor.

1MB FLASH MEMORY FOR DATA LOGGING

Included in the price and size of the module is a 1 MB flash memory. Unlike other modules where external memory is required to provide the datalogging functionality, the ZPM3570 has it on the module. One less thing for the designer to worry about.

SMALL SIZE

At less than 0.63 square inches in area, the ZPM3570 is unsurpassed in providing a complete ZigBee PRO solution, with on-module chip antenna, and 1MB flash in such a small footprint. For many devices that need ZigBee PRO functionality, size is critical and real estate is at a premium. The ZPM3570 really delivers on this account. In addition to the small footprint, the surface mount design of the ZPM3570 eliminates the need for costly, in both dollars and board area, connectors.

LOW-POWER. Comprised of the low-power 1mW RF power ZMN2430 / ZMN2430A and the high power 100mW RF power ZMN2430ER / ZMN2430ERA, the ZMN2430 series modules are based on the CC2430 SOC, the sleep current is less than 3uA for the entire module.

FLEXIBILITY. ZMN2430 Series modules include the CSM private profile firmware which features a flexible and simple-to-use Application Programming Interface. Designers can also write their own code if desired.

SLEEP CAPABILITY. ZMN2430 series modules provide years of battery operation supported through two sleep modes. Timer sleep allows the module to be configured to wake as often as every 100 milliseconds or as infrequently as once every 3.5 years. Interrupt sleep lets the module sleep until it is awoken by an edge triggered interrupt. Regardless of what wakes the module, the designer can configure the module to remain awake for up to 2 seconds after sending its data to provide an opportunity for an application to communicate to the module before it returns to sleep.

I/O AND AUTO REPORT CAPABILITY. ZMN2430 series modules feature Analog, Digital and Serial I/O.

• Standard UART interface for serial communications plus 6 GPIO, 3 ADCs, and 2 DACs (PWMs)
• Auto-reporting features allow many sensor nodes to be built without a dedicated microcontroller - the micro-controller on the module does all the work
• Auto-reporting mode provides module I/O updates based on timer or interrupts - without the need for the application to poll or otherwise request data
• Interrupts are generated by edge-triggered events - and any interrupt can be used to wake a sleeping mode and have the module send its I/O data
