The ACM is based on the CC1110 SoC from Texas Instruments. It measures 0.75 by 0.885 inches and is intended for use as a surface-mount module to be soldered on to the PCB of a consumer product. The ACM's energy-aware algorithms support long battery life. When powered by three AA batteries, the ACM by itself can sustain power for over twelve months. The ACM has received regulatory approval for modular devices in the United States (FCC), Canada (IC), and Europe (ETSI). 1.2Benefits The ACM has been optimized to connect low-cost consumer products to the Arrayent Connect Platform. Benefits include: •Fast time to market 3 ACM Data Sheet - November 7, 2013 - Version 1.3 Revision 3 •Low-power consumption: 2.2uA when sleeping, 165uA when operating normally •Minimal RF and computer networking experience necessary •100% RF-tested in production •Easy to implement on a two-layer PCB •Supports whole-house coverage (line of sight range: 150 meters, 10 dBm power output) •FCC 15.247a2 / 15.249, IC RSS-201 certified •Compliant with ETSI EN 300 328 1.3Features Features of the ACM include: •2.3V to 5.5V input •Three antenna options: external coaxial antenna, wire antenna via through-hole antenna port, and PCB antenna via ACM pin (PCB antenna option will require additional FCC certification testing) •Efficient UART interface •Operates in unlicensed ISM bands (915 MHz in United States, 868MHz in European Union) 2Hardware This chapter describes the various hardware requirements and characteristics of the ACM. 2.1Space Requirements The ACM is designed to be surface-mounted on a carrier board. The ACM requires 0.75 by 0.855 inches of space on your carrier board. 4 ACM Data Sheet - November 7, 2013 - Version 1.3 Revision 3 2.2Pinout The main interface between the ACM and the Client MCU are the electrical pins of the ACM. If a pin is not noted in the table below, then it should be considered reserved for internal use and should not be connected to the circuit of the carrier board. In the table below, direction is from the perspective of the ACM (input = client MCU ACM, output = → ACM client MCU).→ Pin #RequiredFunctionDirectionDescription 1-7, 14, 23, 34- 36, 37, xACM GroundConnected to carrier board ground. Best practice is to connect all pins to ground.

Operational Description

FCC ID: Y4B-ACM1110 FCC 15.247 Certification Information Operational Description 1. Circuit Principle: The ACM1110 product incorporates a Texas Instruments CC1110 system-on-chip radio transceiver. This implements a direct down conversion radio transceiver operating in the 900MHz ISM band. The maximum transmitter output power of this device is 10dBm. The AIC- EGW devices utilize a wideband digital modulation physical layer with the addition of a carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) medium access control (MAC) layer on each frequency channel. The data transmission rate is set to 100kpbs maximum. Modulation 2-FSK, 240Khz frequency deviation Radio Type Low-IF Super heterodyne Data rate 100kbps Radio IF Frequency 270.13Khz (fixed) Signal RF Bandwidth (6db) 540Khz Maximum transmit power 5dBm RF transmit frequencies 908.40 + 1.123*n MHz (where 0<=n<10) RF channel spacing 1123.54Khz Maximum packet size 1392 bits MAC protocol Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) PHY protocol Digital modulation spread spectrum (>500Khz) Table 1 Transmitter Details of Operation Frequency channel Transmitter Base Channel frequency (MHz) Receiver Base Channel frequency (MHz) Frequency channel Transmitter Base Channel frequency (MHz) Receiver Base Channel frequency (MHz) 1 908.40 908.40 6 914.02 914.02 2 909.52 909.52 7 915.14 915.14 3 910.65 910.65 8 916.26 916.26 4 911.77 911.77 9 917.38 917.38 5 912.89 912.89 10 918.50 918.50 11 919.65 919.65 Table 2 Radio Frequency Channels 2. Radio Signal Flow and Baseband Operations: The Radio is based on the Texas Instrument CC1110 system-on-chip (SoC) module. The CC1110 features a low-IF receiver. The received RF signal is amplified by the low noise amplifier (LNA) and down-converted in quadrature (I and Q) to the intermediate frequency (IF). At IF, the I/Q signals are digitized by the ADCs. Automatic gain control (AGC), fine channel filtering, demodulation, and bit/packet synchronization is performed digitally. The transmitter part of the CC1110 is based on direct synthesis of the RF frequency. The frequency synthesizer includes a complete on-chip LC VCO and a 90 degrees phase shifter for generating the I and Q signals to the down-conversion. 3. Antenna: There are two supported antenna options Option 1: The module is a connected attached to a ¼ wavelength monopole. The antenna is permanently affixed to the PCB with a solder junction. Option 2: The antenna is connected through a coaxial connector on the PCB. The connector is a U.FL or compatible type. This supports a cabled connection to one of the validated third party antenna equipment types.
