K4U-ZIM-BZIGBEE RADIO MODULE

ZIM 1 2.4GHz ZigBee Module - Smart Energy 2.0 Compliant DESCRIPTION The ZIM module provides a high performance and cost effective RF transceiver solution for 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee, and Zigbee PRO wireless networks with Smart-Energy 2.0 requirements. The ZIM module combines the Freescale™ MC13224V transceiver platform with a QE128 microprocessor and includes an on-board 100mW Power Amplifier. Ideal for remote sensing, AMR/AMI, home and building automation, industrial control, and security applications, ZIM-B combines extensive processing capability with high output power and low power consumption. The processing power of the MC13224V enables the ZIM-B to provide a level of integration unprecedented in a ZigBee module. The 32-bit ARM7TDMI processor and expansive on-chip memory enable designers to eliminate the peripheral host processors often required by 8- and 16-bit transceiver solutions. This high level of integration reduces component count, lower power consumption and overall system costs.

It incorporates a complete, low power, 2.4GHz radio frequency transceiver, 32-bit ARM7TDMI-based microprocessor, hardware acceleration for both IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and AES security plus a full suite of processor peripherals. The MC13224V architecture offers superior processing power for ZigBee applications. The core operates up to 26 MHz. An 80 kByte ROM is utilized for the low level IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and Physical layer commands. This off loads the Flash memory, leaving more space for the end user application. The MC13224V supports 128 kBytes of Flash memory. The program code is mirrored in 96 kBytes of RAM for faster execution by the processor core. A full set of peripherals and Direct Memory Access (DMA) capability for transceiver packet data are also included. In addition, the MC13224V provides extensive power savings options. options, including low current sleep modes allowing for maximum operating life when battery-powered. ANTENNA ZIM modules include an integrated PCB trace antenna. An optional MMCX connector can be specified, enabling connection to a 50-ohm external antenna of the user’s choice. See Ordering Information on page 1. The PCB antenna employs an F-Antenna topology that is compact and supports an omni-directional radiation pattern. To maximize antenna efficiency, an adequate ground plane must be provided on the host PCB. Correctly positioned, the ground plane on the host board under the module will contribute significantly to antenna performance. The position of the module on the host board and overall design of the product enclosure contribute to antenna performance. Poor design affects radiation patterns and can result in reflection, diffraction, and/or scattering of the transmitted signal. Here are some design guidelines to help ensure antenna performance: • Never place the ground plane or route copper traces directly underneath the antenna portion of the module. • Never place the antenna close to metallic objects. • In the overall design, ensure that wiring and other components are not placed near the antenna. • Do not place the antenna in a metallic or metallized plastic enclosure. • Keep plastic enclosures 1cm or more from the antenna in any direction. ZIM 4 MODES OF OPERATION ZIM power management is controlled through the Freescale MC13224V’s Clock and Reset Module (CRM). The CRM is a dedicated module to handle clock, reset, and power management functions including control of the power regulators. All these functions have direct impact on attaining the lowest power. The ZIM module supports three modes of operation: Active, Doze and Hibernation. The latter two modes are the low-power sleep modes. Active Mode In this mode all functions / features are operating normally. Doze Mode Doze mode provides significant reduction in power consumption while still maintaining a high degree of sleep timing accuracy. In Doze mode, the reference oscillator of the processor continues to operate normally. Hibernation Mode Hibernation mode provides the greatest reduction in power consumption however the sleep timing accuracy is not as precise as in Doze mode. The CRM manages the recovery from the low-power modes, similar to power-up from reset, providing regulator and clock management. The module can be awoken from the …

This transceiver is a complete RF module with an integral reference oscillator. External connections are provided for power and data communication. The following numbered items correspond to similarly numbered paragraphs in DA00-1407. Each item is a response to the requirements of that document. 1.) The module has integral RF shielding to isolate it from surrounding equipment and environment. 2.) All inputs are processed as data by the on-board microcontroller. The end user has no direct control of transmit modulation. 3.) The module does require the end user to provide a regulated 3.3 V + 1% supply and this restriction is clearly stated in the user manual. This restriction should also be listed in the grant notes. 4.) An integral PCB trace antenna is used with this module. This satisfies the requirements of Part 15, § 15.203. 5.) The module was tested in a stand-alone configuration and found to be compliant with Part 15, FCC Rules. 6.) An FCC ID label is affixed to each unit at the time of manufacture.

Jabil Circuit Antenna Description Exhibit FCC ID: K4U-ZIM-B IC: 2146A-ZIM-B Page 1 of 1 The ZIM-B module includes an integrated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) trace antenna with a nominal gain of -1.0 dBi. The PCB antenna employs an inverted F-Antenna topology that is compact and supports an omni-directional radiation pattern. To maximize antenna efficiency, an adequate ground plane must be provided on the host PCB. Correctly positioned, the ground plane on the host PCB board under the module (but not directly under the inverted F-Antenna) will contribute significantly to the antenna performance. The position of the module on the host board and overall design of the product enclosure contributes to the antenna performance. Guidelines to help ensure antenna performance: • Never place the ground plane or route copper traces directly underneath the antenna portion of the module. • Never place the antenna close to metallic objects. • In the end application, ensure that wiring and other objects are not placed near the antenna. • Do not place the antenna in a metallic or metalized plastic enclosure. • Keep plastic enclosures 1cm or more from the antenna in any direction. For optimum performance, the module should be mounted with the PCB trace antenna overhanging the edge of the host board. To further improve performance, a ground plane may be placed on the host board under the module, up to the antenna ground plane. The installation of an uninterrupted ground plane on the layer directly beneath the module will also allow you to run traces on the host board’s internal layers.
