At the same time, the MCR20AVHM is able to receive and transmit at significantly lower peak currents than other competitive devices. This enables mesh networks to run on the same battery for a much longer period. The Dual PAN support allows the system to simultaneously participate in two ZigBee® networks, eliminating the need for multiple radios. Software protocol stacks, tools and IDE are compatible with Kinetis MCUs, and now fully integrated in the Kinetis software development kit (SDK). FEATURES AND BENEFITS FRDM-CR20A Features Benefits • -102 dBm sensitivity • +8 dBm maximum output power • 110 dB link budget improves range and lowers cost by reducing the need for external power amplifiers • TX 18 mA @ 0 dBm • Significantly reduces power consumption and extends battery life • RX 19.5 mA max • Low power preamble search (LPPS) receiver mode • Dual PAN support • System can simultaneously participate in two ZigBee networks, eliminating the need for multiple radios • Differential RF RX/TX Port • Single 50 ohm antenna uses single balun to reduce component count and cost • Fast antenna diversity • Fast antenna diversity allows the hardware to automatically select between two antennas for improved reliability in highinterference environments • Packet processor • Radio handles many 802.15.4 functions in hardware to reduce the software stack size and reduce power consumption by offloading functions from the CPU • 128-bit random number generator • Meets the FIPS 140 security requirements for cryptographic modules • 1.8–3.6 V operating range • Provides wide voltage range to maximize usable voltage for battery operation • Small 5x5 footprint • Smaller size and low component count reduces cost • –40 ˚C to +105 ˚C operational temperature range • Ideal for applications that need extended temperature range • Compatible with Kinetis MCU family • Software protocol stacks, tools and IDE are compatible with the Kinetis MCUs, and integrated in the Kinetis software development kit (SDK) ENABLEMENT }} Freedom development board platform }} 802.15.4 PHY/MAC support }} Full integration with Kinetis software development kit (SDK) }} Software stacks available for both FRDM-K64F and FRDM-KL46Z RX_SWITCH CLK_OUT R_MISO IRQ_B R_SSEL_B R_SCLK FAD/FEM & General Purpose Digital Output ANT_A TX_SWITCH RST_B ANT_B R_MOSI MCR20AVHM BLOCK DIAGRAM MCU Interface Demod RSSI AGC RF_OUTN RF PHY & MAC Controller RX Controller RX RF_OUTP TX & PLL Control XTAL_32M Dividers EXTAL_32M Loop Filter Regulators & Bias POR GPIO1-8 VDD_REGD 8 DEVELOPMENT TOOLS Kit Number FRDM-CR20A Description Freedom development board platform, MCR20A for Kinetis devices, 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 wireless transceiver VBAT VBAT_2 VDD_PA GPIO VDD_IF PLL & Tx XCO VDD_RF PA ORDERABLE PART NUMBER Device MCR20AVHM Sensitivity (dBm) -102 Current TX RX 18 19.5 Feature Low power, high-performance 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transceiver www.nxp.com/MCR20A © 2015 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
