2.1
Overview
ZigBit 900 is an extended-range low-power, a low-power, high-sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ ZigBee-compliant OEM module, which occupies less than a square inch. Based on a solid combination of Atmel’s latest
MCU Wireless hardware platform [5], power amplifier and low-noise amplifier, the ZigBit 900 offers superior radio performance, ultra-low power consumption and exceptional ease of integration.

ZigBit 900 contains Atmel’s ATmega1281V Microcontroller [4] and AT86RF212 RF Transceiver [5]. The
module features 128 Kbytes flash memory and 8 Kbytes RAM.
The ZigBit 900 already contains a complete RF/MCU-related 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. Compared to a custom RF/MCU design, a module-based solution offers
considerable savings in development time and NRE cost per unit during the design, prototyping, and
mass production phases of product development.
To jumpstart evaluation and development, Atmel also offers a complete set of evaluation and development tools. The new ZigBit 900 Development Kit [7] comes with everything you need to create custom
applications featuring ZigBit 900 module.
The kit features MeshBean development boards (ATZB-EVB-900-SMA) with an easy-to-access extension connector for attaching third party sensors and other peripherals, and a JTAG connector for easy
application uploading and debugging.
The kit also includes reference applications to speed up application development, source code for hardware interface layer and reference drivers for the all the module interfaces, intuitive development
environment from Atmel, and comprehensive set of application notes and product documentation.

8227C–MCU Wireless–06/09
Zigbit™700/800/900 MHz Wireless Modules Overview
ZigBit 900 modules come bundled with BitCloud, a 2nd generation embedded software stack from Atmel.
BitCloud is fully compliant with ZigBee PRO and ZigBee standards for wireless sensing and control [8],
[9], [10] and it provides an augmented set of APIs which, while maintaining 100% compliance with the
standard, offer extended functionality designed with developer's convenience and ease-of-use in mind.
Depending on end-user design requirements, ZigBit 900 can operate as a self-contained sensor node,
where it would function as a single MCU, or it can be paired with a host processor driving the module
over a serial interface. In the former case, a user application may be used with the BitCloud software
allowing customization of embedded applications through BitCloud’s C API.
In the latter case, the host processor controls data transmission and manages module peripherals via an
extensive set of SerialNet AT commands. Thus, no firmware customization is required for a successful
module design-in. Additionally, third-party sensors can be connected directly to the module, thus
expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces.

Notes:
1. Absolute Maximum Ratings are the values beyond which damage to the device may occur. Under no
circumstances must the absolute maximum ratings given in this table be violated. Stresses beyond
those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only. Functional operation of the device at these or other conditions, beyond those
indicated in the operational sections of this specification, is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. Attention! ZigBit 900 is an ESD-sensitive device. Precaution should be taken when handling the device
in order to prevent permanent damage.

1. The UART_TXD pin is intended for input (i.e. its designation as "TXD" implies some complex system
containing ZigBit 900 as its RF terminal unit), while UART_RXD pin, vice versa, is for output.
2. Most of pins can be configured for general purpose I/O or for some alternate functions as described in
details in the ATmega1281V Datasheet [1].
3. GPIO pins can be programmed either for output, or for input with/without pull-up resistors. Output pin
drivers are strong enough to drive LED displays directly (refer to figures on pages 387-388, [1]).
4. All digital pins are provided with protection diodes to D_VCC and DGND

3-7
8227C–MCU Wireless–06/09
Specifications
5. It is strongly recommended to avoid assigning an alternate function for OSC32K_OUT pin because it is
used by BitCloud. However, this signal can be used if another peripheral or host processor requires
32.768 kHz clock, otherwise this pin can be disconnected.
6. Normally, JTAG_TMS, JTAG_TDI, JTAG_TDO, JTAG_TCK pins are used for on-chip debugging and
flash burning. They can be used for A/D conversion if JTAGEN fuse is disabled.
7. The following pins can be configured with the BitCloud software to be general-purpose I/O lines:
GPIO0, GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3, GPIO4, GPIO5, GPIO6, GPIO7, GPIO8, GPIO_1WR, I2C_CLK,
I2C_DATA, UART_TXD, UART_RXD, UART_RTS, UART_CTS, ADC_INPUT_3, ADC_INPUT_2,
ADC_INPUT_1, BAT, UART_DTR, USART0_RXD, USART0_TXD, USART0_EXTCLK, IRQ_7, IRQ_6.
Additionally, four JTAG lines can be programmed with software as GPIO as well, but this requires
changing the fuse bits and will disable JTAG debugging.
8. With BitCloud, CTS pin can be configured to indicate sleep/active condition of the module thus providing mechanism for power management of host processor. If this function is necessary, connection of
this pin to external pull-down resistor is recommended to prevent the undesirable transients during
module reset process.
9. Using ferrite bead and 1 µF capacitor located closely to the power supply pin is recommended, as
shown below.
10. In SPI mode, USART0_EXTCLK is output. In USART mode, this pin can be configured as either input or
output pin.

The below diagrams show the PCB layout recommended for ZigBit 900 module. Neither via-holes nor
wires are allowed on the PCB upper layer in area occupied by the module. As a critical requirement,
RF_GND pins should be grounded via several holes to be located right next to the pins thus minimizing
inductance and preventing both mismatch and losses.

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.
3.6.1
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 punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board
edges also distorting antenna pattern.
„
ZigBit 900 module should not be placed next to the consumer electronics which might interfere with
ZigBit 900's RF frequency band.
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 must be
placed around the board's edges.
