Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Compliance

The 'IOMOD10 - Z-Wav e Calibration module' is a CE Approved Product but only when used in conjunction with an Equinox ‘ISPnano Programming Module’. It is designed for use in an ESD controlled environment i.e. development or production. This means, therefore, that the user must ensure that there is no possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Since the devices and equipment to which this product is likely to be connected may well themselves be susceptible to ESD, this should not pose any difficulty.

For example, if you are handling microcontrollers and EEPROMS etc. then you will already be used to appropriate precautions, such as the use of anti-static mats, wrist straps and so on. You should treat your 'IOMOD10F - Z-Wave Calibration module' with the same care as you would these types of devices. Always ensure that you are not carrying a static charge yourself before handling the product. Wearing an earthed anti-static wrist strap is recommended.

Equinox has taken great care in designing this product to be compliant with the European EMC directive. When using the equipment be sure to follow the instructions provided. Although RF emissions are within prescribed limits, care should be taken if you are using the product near to sensitive apparatus. If you experience any difficulty please refer to Equinox Technical Support.

ESD Points to remember

• Work in a static -free environment.

• Wear an earthed wrist strap when handling either the programmer and/or

any programmable device.

• Ensure that the PC, programmer and Target system are connected to the

same EARTH (0V) potential.

• Do NOT plug the ISP cable of the programmer into a Target System when

the Target power is ON.

• Ensure than any residual charge stored in capacitors on the Target System

has been discharged BEFORE connecting or disconnecting the programmer or IOMOD10F module.

Warning!

Any damage caused to the programmer by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) through inadequate earthing is not covered under the warranty of the product.

1.0 IOMOD10F - Z-Wave Calibration Module (Fixed frequency version)

1.0 Overview

The ‘IOMOD10F’ module has been specially designed to support 'XTAL calibration' of the Z-Wave 500 series ICs and modules from Sigma Designs. The module generates a very accurate 'Calibration frequency' of 39.0625 kHz which can be switched to the target Z-Wave device under

programmer control.

1.1 IOMOD10F module - main features

The main features of the ‘IOMOD10F’ module are as follows….

• Generates a very accurate 'Calibration frequency' (39.0625 kHz) for use during the 'XTAL calibration' procedure of a Sigma Z-Wave 500 series device.

• The 'Calibration frequency' can be switched to the target device under programmer control

• Very high accuracy temperature-compensated OXCO module guarantees correct frequency

for calibration.

1.2 Principle of operation of the IOMOD10F module

The ‘IOMOD10F - Calibration Module’ is simply a hardware block which generates a very accurate / stable 'Calibration frequency' for use with the 'Z-Wave calibration firmware' from Sigma.

The module must be controlled from an 'external system' which could be an Equinox programmer, Sigma Designs evaluation board or even a customer's own programming system.

The illustration below shows how the 'programming signals' connect between the 'External programmer' and the 'Z-Wave target Board' through the IOMOD10F module.

The table below explains the different states of the 'Calibration frequency' during the

'programming' and 'calibration' stages....

Status

CAL

ENABLE

Explanation

No action

LOW

When the programmer / calibration is dormant, then the 'Calibration frequency' must be switched off.

Programming

LOW

During normal 'programming operations', the MOSI / TXD signal from the 'external programmer' passes unchanged through the IOMOD10F module.

Calibrating

HIGH

When the 'CAL_ENABLE' pin is enabled by the 'External programmer', then the 'calibration frequency' from the 'OXCO frequency generator' block is switched to the MOSI / RXD output pin so the module will now output the 'calibration frequency'. to the 'Z-Wave target Board'.

1.3 OXCO - Frequency Generator block

The 'OXCO Frequency Generator' block on the IOMOD10F module generates a very accurate 'Calibration frequency' which is used during the 'XTAL calibration procedure' of a Z-Wave 500

Series IC or module.

The illustration below shows the internal functionality of the 'OXCO Frequency Generator' block...

Functional block /

signal

Further information

OXCO Oscillator Module

This is a totally self-contained OXCO module which generates a very accurate / stable fixed frequency of 10 MHz.

Divider network

The output frequency of the OXCO module is then divided down by 256 to give the required 39.0625 kHz frequency used for the Z-Wave XTAL calibration procedure.

Buffer

The output of the divider is then buffered before going into an analogue switch.

Analogue switch

This switch is used to 'gate' the 'Calibration frequency' onto the selected output signal of the IOMOD10F module.

ESD protection

The analogue switch features ESD protection on its output.

Fcal (OXCO)

This is the output frequency of the OXCO module which is a fixed frequency 10 MHz.

Fcalbuf

This is the final 'calibration frequency' waveform of 39.0625 kHz
