ZigBit™ 2.4 GHz Amplified Wireless Modules
Overview
ZigBit™ Amp is an extended-range, low-power, high sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee OEM module,
which occupies less than a square inch of space. Based on a solid combination of Atmel's latest MCU
Wireless hardware platform, power amplifier and low-noise amplifier, the ZigBit Amp offers an
unmatched combination of superior radio performance, ultra-low power consumption and exceptional
ease of integration.
Figure 2-1.
ZigBit Amp modules contains Atmel's ATmega1281V Microcontroller [4] and AT86RF230 RF Trans-
ceiver [5]. The module features 128K bytes flash memory and 8K bytes RAM.
The compact all-in-one-chip integration of output Power Amplifier and input Low-Noise Amplifier, along
with RF switches enables digital control of an external RF front-end to dramatically improve ZigBit's
range performance on signal transmission and increase its sensitivity. This ensures stable connectivity
with larger coverage area without significant increase in module size. The HF U.FL coaxial connector [6]
used in the ATZB-A24-UFL module enables the user to choose appropriate external antenna for every
type of application.
ZigBit Amp already contains a complete RF/MCU 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 exter-
nal connection. Compared to a custom RF/MCUsolution, 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.
