2. ZigBit Module Overview

2.1 Overview

The ATZB-S1-256-3-0-U ZigBit is an ultra 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, 2.4GHz 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-S1-256-3-0-U Block Diagram.

This ZigBit module contains the Atmel ATmega256RFR2 Microcontroller and a 2.4GHz ISM band Transceiver for
ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 [1]. The module features 256KB In-System Self-Programmable flash memory, 32KB SRAM
and 8KB EEPROM.

The compact all-in-one integration of MCU and Radio Transceiver inside the chip along 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.

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.
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.

42199AWIRELESS10/2013

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 a 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.

3.5 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.

4.1 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 UFL connector should never be exposed to Varnish / similar conformal coating material which will affect electrical
connection on the surfaces of connector.

4.2 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

band

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 5-1. Persistence Memory

In ATZB-S1-256-3-0-U persistence memory is stored in the User Signature Data (Page 1) of Atmega256RFR2 SoC with
starting address 0x0100. User Signature Data is isolated from the main flash and will not be cleared by Chip erase
Command.

ATZB-S1-256-3-0-U ZigBit 2.4GHz Single chip Wireless Module [DATASHEET]

42199AWIRELESS10/2013

15

Special commands are available to erase and write data to user signature pages via the JTAG interface (see section
on "Programming via the JTAG Interface" in Atmega256RFR2 datasheet [1] for details). User signature rows can
be read from software in the same way as the device and JTAG identifiers (see section "Reading the Signature Row
from Software" of Atmega256RFR2 datasheet[1]).

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 can be downloaded from

www.atmel.com/wireless.
