Property of Computime Ltd. 8 / 13 V1.0 SIF Module Programming and Debug Interface SIF is a synchronous serial interface developed by Cambridge Consultants Ltd. It is the primary programming and debug interface of the CT-EM2500. The SIF module allows external devices to read and write memory-mapped registers in real-time without changing the functionality or timing of the XAP2b core. The SIF interface provides the following: z IC production test (especially analog) z PCB production test z XAP2b code development z Product control and characterization The pins are: z SIF_LOADB z SIF_CLK z SIF_MOSI z SIF_MISO The maximum serial shift speed for the SIF interface is 48MHz. SIF interface accesses can be initiated even when the chip is in idle and deep sleep modes. An edge on SIF_LOADB wakes the chip to allow SIF cycles. Power Management The CT-EM2500 supports three different power modes: processor ACTIVE, processor IDLE, and DEEP SLEEP. The IDLE power mode stops code execution of the XAP2b until any interrupt occurs or an external SIF wakeup command is seen. All peripherals including the radio continue to operate normally. The DEEP SLEEP power mode powers off most of the module but leaves the critical chip functions, such as the GPIO pads and RAM powered by the High Voltage Supply (VDD_PADS). The module can be woken by configuring the sleep timer to generate an interrupt after a period of time, using an external interrupt, or with the SIF interface. Activity on a serial interface may also be configured to wake the module, though actual reception of data is not re-enabled until the module has finished waking up. Depending on the speed of the serial data, it is possible to finish waking up in the middle of a byte. Care must be taken to reset the serial interface between bytes and discard any garbage data before the rest. Another condition for wakeup is general activity on GPIO pins. EM2531/01 ZigBee- Ready RF Transceiver Modules RF Frequency, Output Power Levels and Data Rates The following table shows the RF channels as defined by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. For proprietary solutions (non-IEEE 802.15.4), the RF transceiver can be programmed in resolution of 11.7 KHZ. The output power level can be configured from the firmware in the range -32 to 5 dBm. The RF transceiver uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) with 2 Mchip/s chip rate, giving a raw data rate of 250 kbit/s. The modulation format is Offset – Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK). The DSSS makes the communication link robust in noisy environments when sharing the same frequency band with other applications. The use of RF frequencies and maximum allowed RF power is limited by national regulations. The CT-EM2500 is complying with the applicable regulations for the world wide 2.45 GHz ISM band. Specifically it complies with the European Union R&TTE directive meeting EN 300 328 . It also meets the FCC CFR47 Part15 regulations for use in the US and the ARIB T-66 for use in Japan. All rights reserved. Property of Computime Ltd. 9 / 13 V1.0 EM2531/01 ZigBee- Ready RF Transceiver Modules side. The rest of the PCB board should have a ground plane as large as possible, preferably as large (in one dimension) as the antenna itself, to make it act as a a reflector mirror to the antenna. A quarter wavelength Antenna on a PCB must be shorter than the wire antenna due to the influence of the dielectric material of the PCB. The length reduction depends on the PCB thickness and material, as well as how close to the edge of the board the antenna is placed. Typical reduction is to 75-90 % but must be found empirically. The length of a quarter-wave antenna is given in the table below. If, for space reasons, the track is made even shorter than the resonating quarter of wavelength, the antenna should be matched to 50 ohms using a series inductor and a shunt capacitor. PCB Layout Recommendations For recommended layout pads for the module, please reference Mechanical Dimensions The area underneath the module should be covered with solder resist in order to prevent short circuiting the test pads on the back side of the module. A solid ground plane is preferred. Unconnect…

信宝股份有限公司 Neutron Engineering Inc. No.3, JinShaGang 1 st Road, ShiXia, DaLang Town, DongGuan, China. Tel:+86-769-83183000 Fax:+86-769-83196000 http:www.btl.org.cn FM-404-21 Ver.7 3/13/2008 Declaration Letter To: EMCC We, N e u t r o n E n g i n e e r i n g I n c . wish to receive a modular approval. Product name: Zigbee Module Model name: EM2531 I declarated here that the device complies with the requirements of DA 00-1407. The requirements of DA00-1407 as below: 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with Part 15 limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation. 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). Any antenna used with the module must be approved with the module, either at the time of initial authorization or through a Class II permissive change. The “professional installation” provision of Section 15.203 may not be applied to modules. 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will 信宝股份有限公司 Neutron Engineering Inc. No.3, JinShaGang 1 st Road, ShiXia, DaLang Town, DongGuan, China. Tel:+86-769-83183000 Fax:+86-769-83196000 http:www.btl.org.cn FM-404-21 Ver.7 3/13/2008 be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance in accordance with Section 15.247(b)(4). Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ensure compliance.
