ATZB-24-B0_14 Datasheet, PDF (7/25 Pages) ATMEL Corporation – ZIGBIT 2.4GHZ WIRELESS MODULES

The ZigBit contains the Atmel ATmega1281V Microcontroller [1] and the Atmel AT86RF230 RF Transceiver [2]. The
module features 128KB Flash memory and 8KB RAM.
The ZigBit already contains a complete RF/MCU-related design with all the necessary passive components included.
The module can be easily mounted on a simple 2-layer PCB. 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.
Innovative dual chip antenna design in ATZB-24-A2 module eliminates the balun and achieves good performance over
2.4GHz frequency band.
All ZigBits are preloaded with a Bootloader when they are sold as Modules, either in Single units or T&R.
Depending on end-user design requirements, a ZigBit module 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.
