Introduction

1.

Summary

1.1
ATZB-RF-233-1-C ZigBit
with a Built in RF Front End Module (FEM) that has an integrated Power amplifier and Low noise amplifier. This helps
the ZigBit reach a very high Link budget of upto +124dB. Based on the innovative mixed-signal hardware platform from
Atmel, this module uses the AT86RF233 [4] /2.4GHz ISM band Transceiver with the FEM on a very compact Module
design that provides the customer to integrate the module to any of the recommended Atmel's Microcontrollers that the
application fits. The radio transceiver provides high data rates from 250kb/s up to 2Mb/s, frame handling, outstanding
receiver sensitivity and high transmit output power enabling a very robust wireless communication. The module is
designed for wireless sensing, monitoring, control, data acquisition applications, to name a few. This ZigBit module
eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming RF development, and shortens time-to-market for wireless

applications.

The module has an MS-147 RF connector that can be used as an RF test port. The built-in chip antenna is designed
and tuned for the ZigBit design to enable quick integration of the ZigBit into any application.
Applications
1.2
The ZigBit module is compatible with robust IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee stack that supports a self-healing, self-organizing
mesh network, while optimizing network traffic and minimizing power consumption.
