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. The
ZGM130S is targeted at end device applications and, with its built-in ARM M4 core and ultra-low power consumption, it is perfect
for making single chip sensors and other end devices that require advanced processing and low power consumption.

  • Page 3: Programming And Debugging Interface

    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.
  • Page 4: Programming Interface Overview

    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...
  • Page 5 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.
  • Page 7: Recommended Components

    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.

  • Page 9: Measurement Setup

    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.
