1 EM3x Module Definitions
To accommodate the requirements of the different markets, Telegesis and CEL have developed a series of pin-
compatible modules based on the Ember EM341, EM346, EM357, and EM3588 chipsets. Table 1 defines the
Telegesis, CEL, and Silicon Labs part numbers for each module as well as describes the differences (Power
Amplifier (PA), Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), and RF connection) between each module.

All of these modules are available from Telegesis and CEL. Silicon Labs provides the CEL EM357 and EM3588
module types with the EM35x Development Kit (part number EM35X-DEV) and the EM341 and EM346 modules
with the EM34x Development Kit (part number EM34X-DEV).
For modules whose RF connection is a mini-RF connector, an RF adapter cable (Tyco/Amp part number 2032440-
1) can be used to interface the module to external test equipment. One of these RF adapter cables is included with
the development kits.
To connect to the EM35x breakout board (Silicon Labs P/N: 130-0680-000), each module shown in Table 1 is
soldered to a small carrier board. The carrier board connector is discussed in section 5.1, EM3x Module Interface
Connector.
