Brief Description

The ZWIR4512 enables secure low-power wireless

IPv6 communication for sensors and small devices.

IDT provides a user-programmable, royalty-free

6LoWPAN stack with mesh routing capability with

the ZWIR4512. 6LoWPAN is an Internet Engineer-

ing Task Force (IETF) standard for building wireless,

low-power IP-based sensor and device networks.

These networks can easily be integrated into exist-

ing IT infrastructure or operate autonomously.

Secure communication is provided by standard-

compliant implementations of the Internet Protocol

Security (IPSec) protocol suite and the Internet Key

Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2), which enable

highly secure end-to-end communication, including

over unsecure network nodes.

The module is powered by an ARM

Cortex™-M3

(ARM, Ltd. trademark) microcontroller and provides

a rich set of GPIO and peripheral interfaces. Up

192kB of flash and 32kB of RAM are available for

applications. Different low power modes are pro-

vided to save energy in battery-operated devices.

The modules provide superior radio properties with-

out the need for complicated external RF design.

Benefits

• Uniquely simple programmability

• Standard-compliant security solution

• No need for external microcontroller

• Plug-and-play integration into local and wide-

area networks

• No RF design required

• 2D barcode label containing MAC address

• Superior radio propagation

• ETSI/FCC certified

Stack Architecture

Applications

The ZWIR4512 serves as a universal secure radio

communication module. Typical applications include

home and industry automation, health monitoring,

smart metering /

smart grid applications, and key-

less entry systems.

Its very low current consumption makes the module

suitable for battery-operated devices.
