Marvell 88MZ300
802.15.4/ZigBee Wireless Microcontroller
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell® 88MZ300 wireless microcontroller system-on-chip (SoC) solution is the next generation of
802.15.4/ZigBee® chip that delivers unparalleled performance at ultra-low power and lowest system cost,
carrying over the legacy of 88MZ100’s successes in connected lighting, smart appliances, home / building
automation, retailer Electronic Shelf Label (ESL), remote controllers and industrial controls. By using the
most advanced process technology, the 88MZ300 significantly improves RF performance, reduces power
consumption, shrinks the die size for cost reduction. It also adds execution in place (XIP), an innovative
technology that allows code execution directly from flash memory providing increased memory support for
larger code applications without increasing chip cost.
With a 120+dB link budget (+13dBm TX and -107dBm RX), the 88MZ300 sets a new record for RF
performance in the industry and enables the devices to reach the farthest distance, penetrate obstacles
and withstand interference even in the harshest environments. By employing Marvell’s proven RF, DSP, and
software expertise in wireless connectivity, the 88MZ300 provides best-in-class coexistence performance
in the 2.4GHz ISM band (where Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices reside) thereby achieving 56dBc Wi-Fi ACI,
giving users the best experience and avoiding communication problems common to wireless applications.
The 88MZ300 has the industry’s lowest power consumption in transmission and receiving current with very
low standby current (1uA) and wide range of power supply from 1.8V to 3.6V. This ultra-low power design
ensures battery powered devices can run for years with small form factor batteries.
With the highest level of integration, the 88MZ300 achieves the lowest Bill of Materials (BOM) cost among
similar products in the industry. It only requires a crystal and a few passive components since the PA and
balun are already built in. It also contains a 512KB on-chip flash, providing ample room for Over The Air
(OTA) software upgrades.
Marvell also offers robust, mature network stacks for the MZ300 that are based on open standards
including ZigBee and Thread.
