700/800/900 MHz Wireless Modules Overview

2.1 Overview

ZigBit 900 is an extended-range low-power, a low-power, high-sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ ZigBee-compli-

ant OEM module, which occupies less than a square inch. Based on a solid combination of Atmel’s latest

MCU Wireless hardware platform [5], power amplifier and low-noise amplifier, the ZigBit 900 offers supe-

rior radio performance, ultra-low power consumption and exceptional ease of integration.

ZigBit 900 contains Atmel’s ATmega1281V Microcontroller [4] and AT86RF212 RF Transceiver [5]. The

module features 128 Kbytes flash memory and 8 Kbytes RAM.

The ZigBit 900 already contains a complete RF/MCU-related design with all the necessary passive com-

ponents included. The module can be easily mounted on a simple 2-layer PCB with a minimum of

required external connection. Compared to a custom RF/MCU design, 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.

To jumpstart evaluation and development, Atmel also offers a complete set of evaluation and develop-

ment tools. The new ZigBit 900 Development Kit [7] comes with everything you need to create custom

applications featuring ZigBit 900 module.

The kit features MeshBean development boards (ATZB-EVB-900-SMA) with an easy-to-access exten-

sion connector for attaching third party sensors and other peripherals, and a JTAG connector for easy

application uploading and debugging.

The kit also includes reference applications to speed 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 documentation.

ZigBit 900 modules come bundled with BitCloud, a 2

generation embedded software stack from Atmel.

BitCloud is fully compliant with ZigBee PRO and ZigBee standards for wireless sensing and control [8],

[9], [10] 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 900 can operate as a self-contained sensor node,

where it would function as a single MCU, or it can 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 sensors can be connected directly to the module, thus

expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces.
