The JN5139-xxx-Myy family is a range of surface mount modules that enable users to
implement systems using IEEE802.15.4, 6LoWPAN, JenNet or ZigBee with minimum
time to market and at the lowest cost. They remove the need for expensive and
lengthy development of custom RF board designs and test suites. The modules use
Jennic’s JN5139 wireless microcontroller to provide a comprehensive solution with
high radio performance and all RF components included. All that is required to
develop and manufacture wireless control or sensing products is to connect a power
supply and peripherals such as switches, actuators and sensors, considerably
simplifying product development.
Three basic hardware module variants are available: JN5139-xxx-M00 with an
integrated antenna, JN5139-xxx-M01/M03 with an antenna connector and JN5139xxx-M02/M04 with a power amplifier and LNA for extended range. Variants are
available either with a ZigBee network stack (JN5139-Z01-Myy) or supporting the
other stacks (JN5139-001-Myy).

The JN5139-xxx-Myy module family provides designers with a ready made component which allows IEEE802.15.4 [1]
wireless applications, using Jennic’s JenNet networking protocol or ZigBee, to be quickly and easily included in
product designs. The modules integrate all of the RF components required, removing the need to perform expensive
RF design and test. Products can be designed by simply connecting sensors and switches to the module IO pins.
The modules use Jennic’s single chip IEEE802.15.4 Wireless Microcontroller, allowing designers to make use of the
extensive chip development support material. Hence, this range of modules allows designers to bring wireless
applications to market in the minimum time with significantly reduced development effort and cost.
Three module hardware variants are available: JN5139-xxx-M00 (standard module with on board ceramic antenna),
JN5139-xxx-M01 (standard module with SMA connector for use with external antennae – recommended for
evaluation use) and JN5139-xxx-M02 (high RF power, improved sensitivity module for evaluation of extended range
applications). For volume production applications, uFL connector variants are provided (-M03 standard power and –
M04 high power). These devices, together with the –M00 variants have FCC modular approvals. Each of these
modules can be supplied with a range of protocol stacks, including JenNet for most tree and linear networks,
IEEE802.15.4 protocol for point-to-point and star applications and a ZigBee mesh networking stack. The variants
available are described below.

All module types have been tested against the requirements of European standard ETS 300 328 v1.7.1 and a
Notified Body statement of opinion for this standard is available on request. The High Power modules with M02 or
M04 suffix are approved for use in Europe with reduced output power: +10dBm EIRP is the maximum permitted in
Europe. They must not be used with PHY_PIB_ATTR_TX_POWER set above 50 See [3] JN-RM-2002 802.15.4
Stack API.
Additionally, modules with M00, M03 and M04 suffixes have received FCC “Modular Approvals”, in compliance with
CFR 47 FCC part 15 regulations and in accordance to FCC Public notice DA00-1407. The modules are approved for
use with a number of antennase, refer to section A.6.1 for details. See Appendix A.6 for details on the conditions
applying to this modular approval. The modular approvals notice and test reports are available on request.
The high power module variant is classified as ‘mobile’ device pursuant with FCC § 2.1091 and must not be used at a
distance of less than 20 cm (8”) from any person.
In addition, all modules have Industry Canada RSS 210 Issue 7 (June 2007) certification.
Most specification parameters for the modules are specified in the chip datasheet - JN-DS- JN513x Wireless

Jennic supplies all the development tools and networking stacks needed to enable end product development to occur
quickly and efficiently. These are all freely available from Jennic’s support website: http://www.jennic.com/support/ .
A range of evaluation/developer kits is also available, allowing products to be quickly breadboarded. Efficient
development of software applications is enabled by the provision of a complete, unlimited, software developer kit.
Together with the available libraries for the JenNet networking stack, the IEEE802.15.4 MAC and the ZigBee network
stack, this package provides everything required to develop application code and to trial it with hardware
representative of the final module.
The modules can be user programmed both in development and in production using software supplied by Jennic.
They can also be supplied ready loaded with customer defined software if required. Access to the on-chip
peripherals, MAC and network stack software is provided through specific APIs. This information is available on the
Jennic support website, together with many example applications, user guides, reference manuals and application
notes.
3.1. JN5139 Single Chip Wireless Microcontroller
The JN5139-xxx-Myy series is constructed around the JN5139 single chip wireless microcontroller, which includes
the radio system, a 32-bit RISC CPU, ROM and RAM memory and a range of analogue and digital peripherals.
The chip is described fully in JN-DS- JN513x Wireless Microcontroller Datasheet [2].
The module also includes a 1Mbit serial flash memory which holds the application code that is loaded into the
Note that the same basic pin configuration applies for all module designs. However, DIO3/SPISEL4 and
DIO2/SPISEL3 are not available on the high power modules.

All pins behave as described in the JN-DS- JN513x Wireless Microcontroller Datasheet [2], with the exception of the
following:
4.2.1 Power Supplies
A single power supply pin, VDD is provided. Separate analogue (VSSA) and digital (GND) grounds are provided.
These should be connected together at the module pins.
4.2.2 SPI Memory Connections
SPISWP is a write protect pin for the serial flash memory. This should be held low to inhibit writes to the flash device.
SPISSZ is connected to SPI Slave Select 0 on the JN5139.
SPISSM is connected to the Slave Select pin on the memory.
This configuration allows the flash memory device to be programmed using an external SPI programmer if required.
For programming in this mode, the JN5139 should be held in reset by taking RESETN low.
The memory can also be programmed over the UART by using the flash programmer software provided by Jennic.
This is available as part of the Software Developer kit and libraries available from Jennic’s support website –
www.jennic.com/support. To enter this programming mode, SPIMISO (pin 7) should be held low whilst the chip is
reset. Once programming has finished, the chip should be reset, when it will execute the new code downloaded.
For normal operation of the module and programming over the UART, SPISSZ should be connected to
SPISSM.
