It is intended for product design engineers who aim for a fast integration of Z-Wave 700 devices. OVERVIEW The Z-Wave 700 device portfolio is shown in Table 1.1. The EFR32ZG14 gateway SoC exposes the Z-Wave serial API via UART and is dedicated to gateway applications. The ZGM130S SiP module combines a general-purpose SoC, crystal, supply decoupling components, and RF matching components into a single small-footprint module requiring only two decoupling capacitors.
Applicable A programming interface is mandatory if In-System Programming of a Z-Wave 700 device is required, i.e., programming while soldered onto the product PCB. To design in a footprint for the Mini Simplicity header, Silicon Labs recommends using a small 10- pin 1.27 mm SMD header for both programming and debugging of chips from the Silicon Labs Gecko family.
Applicable It is recommended that a SAW filter is used in Z-Wave 700 gateway designs also containing GSM or LTE transceivers operating in the subGHz band. A SAW filter attenuates unwanted radio emissions and improves the receiver blocking performance. Three...

Instruction: Z-Wave 700 Integration Guide regions are defined to cover the global Z-Wave frequency range. The SAW filter specifications described in Table 6.1, Table 6.2, and Table 6.3 are recommended for new designs. Table 6.1: Region E Frequency Range Unit...
The crystal is part of the oscillator that generates the reference frequency for the digital system clock and RF carrier. It is a critical component of a Z-Wave 700 device. Further, it is mandatory to calibrate the crystal for gateway designs. Refer to section 4 for more information.
For Z-Wave 700 devices, the filter shown in Figure 7.1 is strongly recommended. For normal scenarios, this will provide adequate filtering with a low BOM cost.
When measuring the sensitivity, first measure and record the output power of the Z-Wave frame generator using the spectrum analyzer. A Z-Wave 700 module programmed with the RailTest tool can be used as the Z-Wave frame generator. Then a fixed attenuator can be used along with a variable attenuator to adjust the input power of the DUT.
SAW filter as close as possible to the RF pin of the EFR32ZG14 It is strongly recommended that the Z-Wave 700 device is placed close to a corner of the PCB, away from any high frequency switching circuits.
AVDD and one on VDD and VDDIO combined. Figure 9.5: Recommended external supply decoupling for the ZGM130S 9.4.2 FOR EFR32ZG14 GATEWAY SOC For Z-Wave 700 devices with only the digital supply, the filter shown in Figure 9.6 is strongly recommended. INS14487-3 | 2/2019...
Applicable Applicable Since ESD can destroy the Z-Wave 700 product, great care must be taken during manufacturing and assembly of final goods to avoid ESD. By design, all pins of EFR32ZG14 and ZGM130S are ESD protected up to a level of 2.5 kV HBM.
