DLP-RF1

USB / RF OEM Transceiver Module (Preliminary)

The DLP-RF1 combines a USB interface,

Freescale™ MC13192 2.4GHz Direct-Sequence

Spread Spectrum RF Transceiver IC and Freescale

MC9S08GT60 microcontroller to form an IEEE

802.15.4 compliant, ZigBee™ ready, short-range

transceiver module.

The MC9S08GT60 microcontroller is preprogrammed

with DLP Design’s Serial Interface Packet Processor

(SIPP™ firmware) for accessing the transceiver

functions via simple serial calls. The application

programming required for accessing the module via

USB is functionally identical to that used to access

the RS232C ports on a standard Windows/Linux/Mac

PC via the use of royalty-free Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers. (No USB driver development is

required for most applications.) The SIPP firmware in the DLP-RF1 resides at the application

layer and is based on Freescale’s SMAC. The SIPP firmware provides basic access to

DLP-RF1 functionality: packet receive and transmit, transceiver settings, EEPROM access, etc.

The MC9S08GT60 can be reprogrammed (if desired) with user-supplied firmware via a

6-pin BDM header that is compatible with the P&E USB-ML-12 and other device programmers

(purchased separately).

Application Areas:

• Remote control and wire replacement in

industrial systems

• Wireless sensor networks

• Home automation and control

• Factory automation

• Heating and cooling systems

• Inventory management and RFID tagging

• Human interface devices

• Remote entertainment control • Wireless toys

Features:

• IEEE 802.15.4 Compliant & ZigBee ready • Range: >700 feet (outdoor line of sight)

• Microcontroller pre-programmed with

SIPP firmware

• Default reset via shorting two jumpers at

power-up

If a Command Packet is received by the DLP-RF1 via USB with a destination ID that matches the ID stored in the EEPROM of the DLP-RF1, then the MC9S08GT60 will process the packet and reply to the host PC. If the ID in the packet does not match the ID stored in EEPROM, then the packet is intended for a different destination and is transmitted via the transceiver.

5.0 Agency Identification Numbers Agency compliance is a very important requirement for any product deployment. DLP Design has obtained modular approval for its products so that the OEM only has to meet a few requirements to be eligible for use under that approval. The corresponding agency identification numbers are listed below: Part Number DLP RF1 US/FCC SX9000RF1 CAN/IC 5675A-000RF1 5.1 Integral Antenna Important: The DLP-RF1 is approved for use with the integral antenna ONLY.
