Product data sheet
1. General description
The JN517x series is a range of ultra low power, high performance wireless
microcontrollers suitable for Thread and ZigBee applications to facilitate the development
of Smart Home and Smart Lighting applications. It features a high-performance and
low-power ARM Cortex-M3 processor with debug with programmable clock speeds. The
JN517x devices are available in JN5174, JN5178 and JN5179 variants, respectively
having 160 kB, 256 kB and 512 kB of embedded Flash memory as well as 32 kB of RAM
and 4 kB of EEPROM. The embedded Flash can support “Over-The-Air” code download
of software stacks. Radio transmit power is configurable up to +10 dBm output. The
very-low receive operating current (down to 12.7 mA and with a 0.6 A sleep timer mode)
gives excellent battery life allowing operation direct from a coin cell. The JN517x also
includes a 2.4 GHz “IEEE802.15.4 compliant” transceiver and a comprehensive mix of
analog and digital peripherals.
The JN517x is ideal for battery-operated applications supported through the
comprehensive power-saving modes available in the device. The on-chip peripherals,
which include a fail-safe I2C-bus, SPI-bus ports (both master and slave), and a
six-channel analog-digital converter with internal temperature sensor support a wide
range of applications directly without extra hardware.
