SPZB260

ZigBee module

Description

SPZB260 is a low power consumption ZigBee
module optimized for embedded applications. It
enables OEMs to easily add wireless capability to
electronic devices.

The module is based on SN260 ZigBee Network
Processor which integrates a 2.4GHz, IEEE

802.15.4-compliant transceiver as well as IEEE

802.15.4 PHY and MAC.

24 MHz high stability Xtal is available aboard the
module to perform the timing requirements as per
ZigBee specifications.

A single supply voltage is requested to power the
module. An integrated 2.5 GHz specific Murata
antenna is aboard. The voltage supply also
determines the I/O ports level allowing an easy
interface with the host system.

The module is controlled by means of a standard
serial interface (SPI) allowing the connections to a
variety of Host microcontrollers.
