2. ZigBit Module Overview 2.1 Overview The ATZB-RF-212B-0-U ZigBit is a compact, low-power, high sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee OEM module. Based on a solid combination of the latest Atmel MCU Wireless hardware platform, 900MHz ISM band transceiver and Atmel Studio Wireless Composer - the ZigBit offers an unmatched combination of superior radio performance, ultra-low power consumption and exceptional ease of integration. Figure 2-1.

Depending on end-user design requirements, the ZigBit can operate as a sensor node, where it can be paired with a host processor driving the module over a serial interface. The MAC stack running on the host processor can then control data transmission. Thus very minimal firmware customization is required for successful module design-in. Third-party sensors can then be connected directly to the host MCU.

4.1 Handling Instructions The ZigBit Modules are fixed with an EMI Shield to ensure compliance to Emission and Immunity rules. This shield is galvanic and NOT air tight. So cleaning of the module with IPA / other similar agents is not advised. Humidity protection coating (conformal) will cause deviated RF behavior and coating material being trapped inside EMI Shield. So this should be avoided.

Special commands are available to read the unique 64-bit MAC ID and the persisten memory via the I2C compatible (2wire) serial interface (see section “Device Addressing” in AT24MAC602 [4] for details) Note: 1 The MAC address stored inside the AT24MAC602 is a uniquely assigned ID for each ZigBit and owned by Atmel. User of the ZigBit application can use this unique MAC ID to address the ZigBit in end-applications.
