EM2420
EM2420
2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee RF Transceiver
Applications
• 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 systems
• ZigBee systems
• Consumer Electronics
Product Description
The EM2420 is a true single-chip 2.4 GHz
IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver
designed for low-power and low-voltage
wireless applications. The EM2420 includes
a digital direct sequence spread spectrum
baseband modem and an effective
datarate of 250 kbps. The EM2420 chip is
only available from Ember with a licensed
Ember networking stack and is targeted to
approved 8-bit processors.
The EM2420 is a low-cost, highly integrated
solution for robust wireless communication
in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM band. It
complies with world-wide regulations
covered by EN 300 440 (Europe), CFR47
Part 15 (US) and ARIB STD-T-66 (Japan).
The EM2420 provides extensive hardware
support for packet handling, data
buffering, burst transmissions, data
encryption, data authentication, clear
channel assessment, link quality indication
and packet timing information. These
• Industrial Control
• Home/building automation
• PC peripherals
features reduce the load on the host
controller and allow the EM2420 to
interface low-cost microcontrollers.
The configuration interface and transmit /
receive FIFOs of the EM2420 are accessed
via a SPI interface. In a typical application,
the EM2420 will be used together with a
microcontroller and a few external passive
components.
The EM2420 is manufactured to a 0.18 µm
CMOS process.
