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.

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.

Functional description
9.1 JN5179 single chip wireless microcontroller
The JN5179-001-M1x series is constructed around the JN5179-001 single chip wireless
microcontroller, which includes the radio system, an ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, Flash, RAM
and EEPROM memory and a range of analog and digital peripherals.
The chip is described fully in JN5179 Wireless Microcontroller Datasheet (see Ref. 2).
The performance of all peripherals is defined in the JN5179 Wireless Microcontroller
Datasheet (see Ref. 2).
UM11018
User manual
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 the NXP Wireless Connectivity TechZone (see Ref. 3). A range of
evaluation/developer kits is also available, allowing products to be quickly bread boarded.
All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers.
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 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.
9.3 JN5179-001-M16 Antenna diversity
ANT_SEL is used to select between the two antennas on the M16 module. Leaving
ANT_SEL unconnected or connecting to V
selects the printed antenna. Tying ANT_SEL
CC
to ground selects the µFL connector. The module can also be used in antenna diversity
solutions where the module will automatically swap between the two antennas in order to
achieve the best radio performance. This can be done connecting ANT_SEL to DIO4,
DIO5, DO0 or DO1 depend upon your application. The antenna diversity functionality can
be enabled by calling vAHI_AntennaDiversityEnable. The DIO can be selected using
vAHI_SetDIOpinMultiplexValue. Please see
JN-UG-3118-JN517x-Integrated-Peripherals-API for more details.
The LNA bypass signal can be used to switch off the LNA in the frontend. This can be
useful when in the presence of strong Wifi signals that can overload the frontend. If the pin
is left unconnected or tied to V
then the LNA is enabled. If the signal is tied to ground
CC
then the LNA will be bypassed during RX. The signal can be connected to a DIO to give
software control over the LNA if required.

15.2 Optimal PCB placement of JN5179-001-M10 and JN5179-001-M16
modules
The JN5179-001-M10 and JN5179-001-M16 modules feature an optimised, low-cost,
integrated, inverted F, printed PCB antenna. For size reduction no ground plane has been
added between the antenna and the JN5179 chip. So an additional ground plane must be
added on the main PCB beneath the module in order to ensure a good antenna efficiency.
This ground plane can be a rectangle or a square with respect to 2 conditions: it must be
as wide as the module (14.5 mm) and the area must be equal or greater than 610 mm2.
See Figure 5 below for correct placement of the module.
The antenna has a vertically polarised near omnidirectional radiation pattern and up to
1.8 dBi of peak gain. On the antenna side the ground plane of the module must be
vertically aligned with the ground plane of the main PCB. The area around the antenna
must be kept clear of conductors or other metal objects by a minimum distance of 20 mm
except the mandatory ground plane as indicated above. This is true for all layers of the
PCB and not just the top layer. Any conductive objects close to the antenna could
severely disrupt the antenna pattern resulting in deep nulls and high directivity in some
directions.
The Figure 5 show various possible scenarios. The top 3 scenarios are correct - the
ground plane must be placed beneath the JN5179-001-M10 or M16 module but it does
not protrude beyond the edge of the top layer ground plane on the module PCB.
The bottom fours scenarios are incorrect – in the left-hand side there is ground plane
underneath the antenna, in the middle-left example the ground planes of the main PCB
and the module are not vertically aligned, in the middle-right there is insufficient clearance
around the antenna, and in the right-hand example a battery’s metal casing is in the
recommended ‘keep out’ area.

User manual
NXP does not recommend use of a solder paste that requires the module and PCB
assembly to be cleaned (rinsed in water) for the following reasons:
•
Solder flux residues and water can be trapped by the PCB, can or components and
result in short circuits
NXP recommends use of a 'no clean' solder paste for all its module products.
