1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The ZB-UPS01 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-UPS01 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.

2. POWER SAVING MODES

The ZB-UPS01 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-UPS01 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-UPS01/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.
