General description

The JN5179-001-M1x (with x = 0, 3 or 6) 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 GHz - 2.5 GHz ISM frequency band, including ZigBee
Smart Energy and Home Automation 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.

3 variants are available: JN5179-001-M10, JN5179-001-M13 and JN5179-001-M16. All
modules have FCC modular approval. The JN5179-001-M10 and JN5179-001-M13 are
also CE-compliant and subject to a Notified Body Opinion.

The variants available are described in the Ta ble 2.

of the following European standards.

•

•

•

A Notified Body statement of opinion for this standard is available on request.
The High-power module with M16 suffix is not approved for use in Europe.
Additionally, both module types have received FCC “Modular Approval”, in compliance

with CFR 47 FCC part 15 regulations and in accordance to FCC public notice DA00-1407.
The modular approvals notice and test reports are available on request.

The JN5179-001-M16 module is subject to user proximity restrictions under FCC
regulations; more specific information is available in Section 12.2.

The JN5179-001-M1x family is a range of ultra-low power, high performance surface
mount modules targeted at IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee Home Automation networking
applications, enabling users to realize products 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 NXP’s JN5179 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 manufacture wireless
control or sensing products is to connect a power supply and peripherals such as
switches, actuators and sensors, considerably simplifying product development.

3 module variants are available: JN5179-001-M10 with an integrated printed antenna,
JN5179-001-M13 with a µFL antenna connector and JN5179-001-M16 with a power
amplifier, LNA for extended range and antenna diversity, thanks to the integrated antenna
and µFL antenna connector.
