BoosterPack Series A2530E24A-LPZ The A2530E24A-LPZ is an AIR Module BoosterPack kit for the MSP430TM Value Line or Stellaris® LaunchPad Development Kit. This kit eases the development of products intended to wirelessly communicate in compliance with the ZigBee ® Standard*. The BoosterPacks feature an A2530E24AZ1 AIR module (based on TI’s CC2530 low-power -RF chip and CC2591 range extender) and are loaded with the Anaren AIR-ZNP firmware (based on TI’s Z-Stack™ for the ZigBee Standard). Benefits Features Kit: Includes three A2530E24A AIR Module BoosterPacks, for connection to TI’s MSP430 or Stellaris LaunchPad development tool (not included) Each BoosterPack includes an on-board MSP430G2553IN20 Value Line microprocessor, pre -flashed with Anaren’s AIR-ZNP firmware (based on TI’s Z-Stack for the ZigBee Standard) For Stellaris operation, simply remove the MSP430 MCUs, and load the Stellaris firmware via USB from the included CD CD contains all the software, MSP430 & Stellaris drivers, application notes, Quick Start Guide, and more to get started Includes one 2xAA Battery Holder for remote operation AIR Module: Incorporates TI’s CC2530 SOC (with CC2591 Range Extender) Tiny 11x19x2.5 mm footprint Choice of integral antenna or connector Pre-certified to FCC/IC and ETSI compliant Low power consumption Low cost, starting at $15/ea for 10K+ (see back for more details) Firmware: Based on TI Z-Stack, Anaren’s AIR-ZNP firmware solution includes time-saving API, driver library, and 30+ code examples (see back for more details) Provides “out of the box” wireless connectivity for easier development of applications based on the ZigBee Standard Includes AIR-ZNP firmware solution (based on TI’s Z-Stack), which compresses time to market by greatly reducing the learning curve and development time Provides an excellent learning/development tool for all levels of ZigBee expertise – as well as a clear, easy-to-understand migration path from development to production Part of the AIR Support—for ZigBee, a total solution from Anaren that includes development tools, free firmware and applications support, and more Applications The A2530E24A-LPZ BoosterPack kit eases the implementation of wireless for a wide range of applications, including: ZigBee Light Link control systems, Home/building automation, lighting systems, low power wireless sensor networks, consumer electronics, industrial control, monitoring, among many others. The A2530E24A BoosterPack snaps onto the MSP430 LaunchPad (shown) or the Stellaris LaunchPad (each sold separately). * The terms ZigBee®, ZigBee® Alliance, and ZigBee® Standard are registered trademarks of ZigBee® Anaren, Inc. / 6635 Kirkville Road / East Syracuse, NY 13057 800.411.6596 / http://www.anaren.com / [email protected] Layout Information Product overview General: 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver Excellent receiver sensitivity and robustness to interference (-95dBm average) Wide input voltage range (2.2V – 3.6V) 100% RF tested in production Module weight approximately 0.7 grams Current Consumption: (TC = 25°C, VDD = 3.0V) Active mode RX (CPU Idle): 28 mA Active mode TX (CPU Idle): 68 mA @1dBm, 78mA @8dBm (limit for ETSI compliance), 130mA @ 15dBm (limit for FCC/IC compliance) 3 Low power/sleep modes from 1uA to 200 uA Microcontroller: High-performance and low-power 8051 Microcontroller core with code prefetch 256KB in-system programmable flash and 8KB RAM with retention in all power modes AIR-ZNP Firmware: Preloaded with Anaren’s AIR-ZNP firmware, based on the TI Z-Stack™ for the ZigBee® Standard Supports SPI and UART communication Driver library included for MSP430™ and Stellaris ® MCUs, which abstracts functionality Over 30 code examples for a paired MCU included to demonstrate functionality, including: BoosterPack features shown below; see User’s Manual for more information.
