ZM5101
General Purpose
®
Z-Wave
SiP Module
The ZM5101 combines a
Z-Wave SD3502 SoC (with
a built-in microcontroller
and Z-Wave RF transceiver),
crystal, and passive RF
components within a single
8mm x 8mm module. This
makes the ZM5101 ideal for
small-footprint, single microcontroller products, such
as thermostats, remote controls, lighting control, and
USB sticks.
The ZM5101 addresses the need for increasingly user-friendly and featurerich Home Control applications by providing 128kB Flash and 16kB SRAM.
The built-in keyscanner and infrared controller are ideal building blocks for
implementing a Universal Remote Control that supports both learning and
sending IR codes, as well as Z-Wave commands. The ZM5101 provides
hardware-assisted frequency agility, enabling the module to switch away from
a noisy channel without communication or software overhead. Furthermore the
very-low sleep current of the ZM5101 addresses the growing need for longer
battery life, allowing existing Z-wave products to experience up to double the
battery life of current products.
