Overview
The JN5148-001-Myy fam ily is a range of ultr a low power, high perf ormance surface
mount modules targeted at JenNet and ZigBee PRO networking applications,
enabling users to realise products with minimum time to market and at the lowest
cost. They rem ove the need for expensive and lengthy developm ent of custom RF
board designs and test suites. The modules use NXP’s JN5148 wireless
microcontroller to provide a comprehensive solution with large memory, high CPU
and radio performance and all RF components included. All that is required to
develop and manufac ture wireless control or s ensing products is to connect a po wer
supply and peripherals such as switches, actuators and sensors, considerably
simplifying product develop ment.
Three module variants are available: JN5148-001-M00 with an integrated antenna,
JN5148-001-M03 with an antenna connector and the JN5148-001-M06 with an
antenna connector, power amplifier and LNA for extended range. The m odules can
implement network ing stacks such as J enNet and ZigBee PRO, as well as custom er
applications

1. Introduction
The JN5148-001-Myy module family provides designers with a ready made component that provides a fully
integrated solution for applications, using the IEEE802.15.4 standard in the 2.4-2.5GHz ISM frequency band [1],
including JenNet and ZigBee PRO, and can 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 NXP’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 variants are available: JN5148-001-M00 (standard module with integral antenna), JN5148-001-M03 (standard
module with uFl connector for use with external antennae) and JN5148-001-M06 (high RF power with uFL connector,
improved sensitivity module for evaluation of extended range applications). All modules have FCC modular
approvals, CE approval and are compliant with EU regulations. The variants available are described below.

1.2. Regulator y Approvals
All module types have been tested against the requirements of the following European standards. For the Radio, EN
300 328 v1.7.1. EMC, EN 301 489-17 v2.1.1 and the Basic Safety Assessment (BSA) EN 60950-1:2006, a Notified
Body statement of opinion for this standard is available on request. The High Power module with M06 suffix is
approved for use in Europe with reduced output power: +10dBm EIRP is the maximum permitted in Europe.
Additionally, all module types have received FCC “Modular Approvals”, in compliance with CFR 47 FCC part 15
regulations and in accordance to FCC Public notice DA00-1407, appendix A.7 contains det ails on the conditi ons
applying to this modular approval. The modules are approved for use with a range of different antennas; further
details of which can be found in section Appendix A.6.1. 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 modular approval and RSS210e Issue 7 (June 2007) certification.

The performance of all peripherals is defined in the JN-DS-JN5148 Wireless Microcontroller Datasheet [2]
Note 1: Sensitivity is defined for conducted measurements on connectorised modules. Modules with an integrated
antenna have approximately 4 dB less e.i.r.p and reciprocal receive sensitivity.
Note 2: It is possible to operate the M06 module with similar output power to the JN5148-001-M04 modules by
implementing a small change in the software as provided in the latest SDK.
Note 3: ETSI mode is achieved through a software setting as provided in the latest SDK. Note that this is different to
the equivalent setting for the JN5148-001-M04.

3. Product Development
NXP 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 www.nxp.com/jennic. A range of evaluation/developer kits
is also available, allowing products to be quickly bread boarded. Efficient development of software applications is
enabled by the provision of a complete, unlimited, software developer kit. Together with the available libraries for the
IEEE802.15.4 MAC and the JenNet and ZigBee PRO network stacks, 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 NXP.
Access to the on-chip peripherals, MAC and network stack software is provided through specific APIs. This
information is available on the NXP support website, together with many example applications, user guides, reference
manuals and application notes.
3.1. JN5148 Single Chip Wireless Microcontroller
The JN5148-001-Myy series is constructed around the JN5148-001 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-JN5148 Wireless Microcontroller Datasheet [2].
The module also includes a 4Mbit serial flash memory, which holds the application code that is loaded into the
JN5148 during the boot sequence and provides stati c data st or age, requ ir ed by the applic at ion.
