ZigBit Module Overview 2.1 Overview The ATZB-RF-233-1-C ZigBit is a compact, low-power, high sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee OEM module with an integrated FEM built-in. Based on a solid combination of the latest Atmel MCU Wireless hardware platform, 2.4GHz ISM band transceiver and Atmel Studio Wireless Composer - the ZigBit offers an unmatched combination of superior radio performance, ultra-low power consumption and exceptional ease of integration. Figure 2-1. ATZB-RF-233-1-C Block diagram . This ZigBit module contains Atmel’s AT86RF233 2.4GHz ISM band Transceiver for ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 [1]. The compact board design of the Radio Transceiver with very minimal components on the RF path to Antenna dramatically improves the ZigBit’s compact size, range performance on signal transmission and increases its sensitivity. This ensures stable connectivity within a larger coverage area, and helps develop applications on smaller footprint. The MS-147 connector [1] can be used as an RF Test port. ATZB-RF-233-1-C ZigBit 2.4GHz Wireless Modules [DATASHEET] 42192A−WIRELESS−11/2013 6 ZigBit Module contains a complete RF design with all the necessary passive components included. The module can be easily mounted on a simple 2-layer PCB with a minimum of required external connection. The ZigBit Module Evaluation kit containing the ZigBit Extension board for the Atmel Xplained PRO HW Evaluation platform can be used to develop FW using the Atmel Studio and evaluate using the Wireless Composer. Compared to a custom RF/MCU solution, a module-based solution offers considerable savings in development time and NRE cost per unit during the HW/FW design, prototyping, and mass production phases of product development. Depending on end-user design requirements, the ZigBit can operate as a self-contained sensor node, where it would be paired with a host processor driving the module over a serial interface. The MAC stack running on the host processor can then control data transmission and manages module peripherals. Thus very minimal firmware customization is required for successful module design-in. Third-party sensors can then be connected directly to the module, thus expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces. Every ZigBit Module come pre loaded with Atmel assigned 64-bit MAC address stored in the signature bytes of the device. This unique IEEE MAC address can be used as the MAC address of the end product, so there is no need to buy a MAC address separately for the product using the ZigBit.

The package is backward compatible with PB/Sn soldering profile. Antenna Reference Designs Multiple factors affect proper antenna match, hence, affecting the antenna pattern. The particular factors are the board material and thickness, shields, the material used for enclosure, the board neighborhood, and other components adjacent to antenna. Following guidelines need to be followed when designing the base board for the ZigBit. General Recommendations: • Metal enclosure should not be used. Using low profile enclosure might also affect antenna tuning. • Placing high profile components next to antenna should be avoided. • Having holes/vias punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board edges also distorting antenna pattern. • ZigBit module should not be placed next to consumer electronics which might interfere with ZigBit’s RF band frequency. The board design should prevent propagation of microwave field inside the board material. Electromagnetic waves of high frequency may penetrate the board thus making the edges of the board radiate, which may distort the antenna pattern. To eliminate this effect, metalized and grounded holes/vias must be placed around the board's edges. 4.

This shield is galvanic and NOT air tight. So cleaning of the module with IPA / other similar agents is not advised. Humidity protection coating (conformal) will cause deviated RF behavior and coating material being trapped inside EMI Shield. So this should be avoided. For products requiring conformal coating, it is advised to suitably mask the ZigBit before applying the coating to rest of the ZigBit carrier board. To protect ZigBit from humidity, the housing of the product should ensure suitable Ingress Protection standards are complied with. The MS-147 connector should never be exposed to Varnish / similar conformal coating material which will affect electrical connection on the surfaces of connector. The in-built chip antenna has been tuned for the particular design 4.2 General Recommendations • Metal enclosure should not be used. Using low profile enclosure might also affect antenna tuning • Placing high profile components next to antenna should be avoided • Having holes/vias punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board edges also distorting antenna pattern • 5.
