1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The ZB-UPH01 is a miniature 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum 802.15.4 transceiver. It
includes all RF hardware and a micro-controller to manage the communications link. The
micro-controller manages all communications task including configuration, data packaging, and
clear channel selection. The result is a complete wireless data communications solution.
The ZB-UPH01 package is unique because of its small form factor (32 x 23 mm2), It has an
on-board chip antenna and the availability of external dipole antenna I-PEX connector. No
competitive products can offer a solution as flexible, convenient, and easy to integrate.
Models

2. POWER SAVING MODES
The ZB-UPH01 includes several low power operating modes to permit the most efficient use of the
available power. Below are descriptions of the available selections.
ACTIVE: In Active Mode, all ZB-UPH01 circuits are powered and available for immediate action.
This includes the RF receiver which actively monitors the air for an incoming communications
request. Two sub-modes are classified as TX-ACTIVE and RX-ACTIVE. The current
consumption of TX-ACTIVE is 44 mA while RX-ACTIVE is 38 mA.

3. CONNECTORS PIN CONFIGURATION
ZB-UPH01 uses Silicon-Lab C8051F340 as MCU. It is an 8051 base MCU and reserves 10 GPIO
pins for external controlling by application. Each pin can be a general I/O pin and programmed it
by user directly. Furthermore, most of these pins can be used as special purpose function. Thereof
TX, RX pins can be programmed as UART for data communication. For example, user is easy to
connect these pins with RS485 transceivers such as 75176, MAX485.

5. DESIGN GUIDE TO AVOID RF INTERFERENCE
When RF module put on an application board(mother board), to minimize the RF signal
interference, the best way is to define an isolation area. This area should have no any trace or
grounding pad. Here are some layout suggestions for mother board.
Suggestion 1: Place RF board aside mother board. (Let antenna part outside mother board is
better) Make sure no trace and grounding pad under the must isolate area. Please see the drawing
as below.

Suggestion 2: Place RF board at the corner of mother board. Make sure no trace and
grounding pad under the must isolate area. Please see the drawing as below.

Suggestion 3: If you couldn’t put RF board at one side or at the corner of mother board. You
must make sure no circuit trace and grounding pad under the must isolate area, and at least reserve
extra 3 mm space as safety area. Please see the drawing as below.

For all of above suggestions, try to extend isolation area from must area to prefer area. Please
see the drawing as below. The more isolation area, the better RF performance。
