ZICM2410-EVB3 Hardware Reference Guide

1 INTRODUCTION

This document describes the hardware, features and functions of the CEL ZICM2410-EVB3
Evaluation Board, one of the major hardware components in the CEL ZICM2410P0-KIT2

evaluation kit. At the heart of the evaluation board is the ZICM2410P0 (or ZICM2410P2), CEL’s

transceiver module solution for IEEE 802.15.4 wireless applications.

1.1 PART DEFINITIONS

 ZIC2410QN48: CEL MeshConnect single-chip IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver.
 ZICM2410P0: CEL MeshConnect IEEE 802.15.4 module.
 ZICM2410P2: CEL MeshConnect Extended Range IEEE 802.15.4 module with an

external power amplifier.

 ZICM2410-EVB3: An evaluation board containing a ZICM2410P0-1 for development

and evaluation purposes. Using the CEL supplied software tools makes it possible to

download user-created programs to the ZIC2410.

 ZICM2410P0-KIT2: CEL MeshConnect IEEE 802.15.4 evaluation kit.
 ZIC2410: Same as the ‘ZIC2410QN48’.

2 ZICM2410-EVB3 EVALUATION BOARD

CAUTION

The ZICM2410-EVB3 is a PC interface board to which the ZICM2410P0 / ZICM2410P2 module
has been mounted. A ZICM2410-EVB3 can be used to interface PC applications with the
module, in order to program user applications to the ZICM2410.

Figure 1 shows the ZICM2410-EVB3 evaluation board, the major components of which are

described in Table 1.

Components Description / Function

Audio / Voice Jacks

ZICM2410

Module

DIP Switches

Microphone input and Headphone output for connection when using the evaluation
board’s voice / audio features.

ZICM2410

module. The DUT of the evaluation board
3 ea 10-pin DIP Switches used for disconnecting the evaluation boards connections
to the various on board features (i.e. LEDs, switches, etc.).
ISP Mode Switch: 2-position slide switch to control ISP mode

ISP Switch

‘ISP’ position is used for downloading application firmware to the ZICM2410.
For normal operation, the switch should be set to the ‘NORMAL’ position.

RESET Switch Button switch to reset the device MPU (Active Low)
General Purpose LEDs Four indicator LEDs for GPIO output tests

Push Button Switches connected to General Purpose I/O (GPIO) Ports:

Test Tact Switches

When a button is pressed, the signal ‘0’ is applied to the corresponding port pin;
otherwise, a value of ‘1’ is applied. Switches #3 and #4 can be configured as
external interrupts to the 8051 microcontroller.

Battery Holders Holder for 2 ea. 1.5 Volt Type AA Batteries
DC JACK Input for a 5.0 – 9.0 Volt DC Power Supply

This three position slide switch is used to select the power source for the evaluation

POWER Switch

board. In the position ‘VREG’, power is supplied either through the USB port or from
a power supply inserted in the DC Jack. In the ‘VBAT’ position, batteries provide the
power.

Power Indicator LED LED indicates when DC power is turned on.
USB Port Port to connect the evaluation board through a USB cable to a PC.
ADC Variable Resistors Variable Resistors for testing ADC functions in the

ZICM2410

module
Current Monitor For measuring operating current of the module under various conditions
USB to UART Bridge Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to UART Bridge IC: Converts I/O from USB to UART.

Analog Inputs

Digital I/O Headers

1 ea. 4-pin header to provide a convenient method to monitor or connect to an
Analog input.
3 ea. 8-pin header to provide a convenient method for to monitor or connect to a

selected Digital GPIO port.
SPI Flash Memory Onboard ROM for storing additional information.
Voice CODEC Onboard Voice CODEC used for A/D and D/A conversions of Voice / Audio.
Power Header 4-pin header for direct powering of the EVB, bypassing the internal regulator

3 MeshConnect ZICM2410P0 MODULE

CAUTION

The ZICM2410P0 / ZICM2410P2 module is the primary active component/device under test of
the ZICM2410-EVB3 evaluation board. Figure 2 shows the ZICM2410P0 / ZICM2410P2

modules, whose major components are as follows:

 ZIC2410QN48
 Power Amplifier and Low Noise Amplifier (only found on the ZICM2410P2)

 16MHz Crystal

 Integrated PCB Trace antenna (or optional U.FL connector for an external antenna)

 Additional components for RF matching and termination

: Contains parts and assemblies susceptible to damage by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
