2. ZigBit Module Overview

2.1 Overview

The ATZB-X0-256-4-0-CN ZigBit is a compact, low-power, high sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee OEM module. Based on a solid combination of the latest Atmel MCU Wireless hardware platform, 900 MHz ISM band transceiver and Atmel Studio Wireless Composer - the ZigBit offers an unmatched combination of superior radio performance, ultra-low power consumption and exceptional ease of integration.

Figure 2-1. ATZB-X0-256-4-0-CN user interface diagram

This ZigBit module contains Atmel’s ATXMEGA256A3U Microcontroller and AT86RF212B 900 MHz ISM band Transceiver for ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 [1]. The module features 256KB In-System Self-Programmable flash memory, 16KB SRAM and 4KB EEPROM.

The compact all-in-one board design of MCU and Radio Transceiver with very minimal components on the RF path to

Antenna dramatically improves the ZigBit’s compact size, range performance on signal transmission and increases its

sensitivity. This ensures stable connectivity within a larger coverage area, and helps develop applications on smaller footprint. The MS-147 connector [2] can be used as an RF Test port.

ZigBit Module 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 external connection. The ZigBit Module Evaluation kit containing the ZigBit Extension board for the Atmel Xplained PRO HW Evaluation platform can be used to develop FW using the Atmel Studio and evaluate using the Wireless Composer. Compared to a custom RF/MCU solution, a module-based solution offers considerable savings in development time and NRE cost per unit during the HW/FW design, prototyping, and mass production phases of product development.

All ZigBits are preloaded with a Bootloader when they are sold as Modules, either in Single units or T&R.

ATZB-X0-256-4-0-C [ZigBit 900 MHz Wireless Modules]

Depending on end-user design requirements, the ZigBit can operate as a self-contained sensor node, where it would function as a single MCU, or it can be paired with a host processor driving the module over a serial interface.

The MAC stack running on the host processor can then control data transmission and manages module peripherals. Thus very minimal firmware customization is required for successful module design-in. Third-party sensors can then be connected directly to the module, thus expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces.

Every ZigBit Module come pre loaded with Atmel assigned 64-bit MAC address stored in the signature bytes of the device. This unique IEEE MAC address can be used as the MAC address of the end product, so there is no need to buy a MAC address separately for the product using the ZigBit.

3.4 Antenna Orientation Recommendation

TBA

3.5 Mounting information

The Figure below shows the PCB layout recommended for a ZigBit module. Neither via-holes nor wires are allowed on the PCB upper layer in the area occupied by the module. As a critical requirement, RF_GND pins should be grounded via several via-holes to be located right next to the pins thus minimizing inductance and preventing both mismatch and losses.

Figure 3-1. ATZB-X0-256-4-0-CN Dimensions, Mounting Information & Pinout

TBA

The ZigBit’s location and orientation on the carrier board is illustrated in the above PCB Land pattern and Mounting information drawing. The Recommended placement of ZigBit on Carrier Board needs to be accurately followed to ensure performance on the end application

3.6 Soldering profile

The J-STD-020C-compliant soldering profile is recommended according to Table 3-8.

3.7 Antenna reference designs

Multiple factors affect proper antenna match, hence, affecting the antenna pattern. The particular factors are the board material and thickness, shields, the material used for enclosure, the board neighborhood, and other components adjacent to antenna. Following guidelines need to be followed when designing the base board for the ZigBit.

General Recommendations:

 Metal enclosure should not be used. Using low profile enclosure might also affect antenna tuning.

 Placing high profile components next to antenna should be avoided.

 Having holes/vias punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board

edges also distorting antenna pattern.

 ZigBit module should not be placed next to consumer electronics which might interfere with ZigBit’s RF band

frequency.

The board design should prevent propagation of microwave field inside the board material. Electromagnetic waves of high frequency may penetrate the board thus making the edges of the board radiate, which may distort the antenna pattern. To eliminate this effect, metalized and grounded holes/vias must be placed around the board's edges.

4. Section 4

Figure 4-1. Internal schematics.

Handling Instructions

The ZigBit Modules are fixed with an EMI Shield to ensure compliance to Emission and Immunity rules. This shield is galvanic and NOT air tight. So cleaning of the module with IPA / other similar agents is not advised. Humidity protection coating (conformal) will cause deviated RF behavior and coating material being trapped inside EMI Shield. So this should be avoided. For products requiring conformal coating, it is advised to suitably mask the ZigBit before applying the coating to rest of the ZigBit carrier board. To protect ZigBit from humidity, the housing of the product should ensure suitable Ingress Protection standards are complied with.

The MS-147 connector should never be exposed to Varnish / similar conformal coating material which will affect electrical connection on the surfaces of connector.

The in-built chip antenna has been tuned for the particular design

4.1.1 General recommendations

 Metal enclosure should not be used. Using low profile enclosure might also affect antenna tuning  Placing high profile components next to antenna should be avoided  Having holes/vias punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board edges

also distorting antenna pattern

 ZigBit module should not be placed next to consumer electronics which might interfere with ZigBit's RF frequency

5. Persistence Memory

A dedicated memory space is allocated to store product specific information and called the Persistence Memory. The organization of the persistence memory is as follows:

Table 2 Persistence Memory

In ATZB-X0-256-3-0-C, the persistence memory is stored in User signature Row of Atxmega256A3U microcontroller starting from address 0x0000. This section is not erased by chip erase and requires a dedicated erase command.

The user signature row is a separate memory section that is fully accessible (read and write) from application software and external programmers. See section “Read User Signature Row / Production Signature Row” under section “NVM Flash Commands” in Xmega AU manual [1] for details in reading the user signature data from application software

Note: 1 The MAC address stored inside the MCU is a uniquely assigned ID for each ZigBit and owned by Atmel. User of the ZigBit application can use this unique MAC ID to address the ZigBit in end-applications. The MAC ID can be read from the ZigBit using the Performance Analyzer Application that is supplied through Atmel Studio Gallery Extension.
