1. Introduction
This chapter introduces the NXP JN5169 USB Dongle (DR1198), which provides a
hardware development platform for wireless microcontroller applications with a USB
interface.
1.1 Overview
The JN5169 USB Dongle features a JN5169 wireless microcontroller and allows
communication with this JN5169 device from a USB connection. The JN5169 device can
act as a node of a wireless network. Thus, the dongle provides an easy way of
interfacing a host machine (such as a PC) to a wireless network based on the
IEEE802.15.4, ZigBee Smart Energy or ZigBee-Home Automation networking protocol.
An FTDI device provides the USB connection between the host machine and the JN5169
device, which in turn provides the radio interface to the wireless network.
Typical uses of the dongle include:
A complete and stable hardware environment for the development of
IEEE802.15.4, ZigBee Smart Energy and ZigBee-Home Automation networking
applications, facilitating an accelerated time-to-market for wireless network
products
The basis of a packet sniffer for IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless communications
A means of integrating the host machine into a wireless network, typically as the
network Coordinator
The small-footprint PCB of the dongle provides all the necessary components for a
wireless microcontroller with access to a USB connection. All RF layout and decoupling
issues are handled by the design of this dongle. Therefore, this design is ready for
application development without the necessity of hardware development.
The JN5168 USB dongle, shown Fig 1, is supplied in the JN5169-EK004 Evaluation Kit.

2.2 Dongle block diagram
The Fig 3 illustrates the main hardware blocks of the dongle.
2.3 Hardware components
The hardware components on the board are described in the following sub-sections.
JN5169 wireless microcontroller – see section 2.3.1
FTDI FT232RL driver device – see section 2.3.2
LEDs – see section 2.3.3
32-kHz crystal oscillator – see section 2.3.4
2.3.1 JN5169 device
The JN5169 circuit on the board is based around the standard JN5169-001-M00 module.
However, it is built on a 2-layer board, as the DIOs do not need to be externally available.
The JN5169 device uses an integrated antenna on the PCB of the dongle.
