ZigBee co-processor add-on kit

19 January 2011 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The Ember EM35x network co-processor (NCP) add-on kit enables network co-processor development with an existing EM35x development kit, allowing designers to take advantage of the low power consumption, radio performance and CPU performance of the EM300 series chips in a network co-processor configuration. The add-on kit consists of the EM35x NCP breakout board, EM35x module, STM32 host module and battery pack.

The breakout board contains the hardware peripherals for the development and deployment of a low-data-rate, low-power ZigBee application on a host microcontroller interfacing via EZSP protocol to the EM300 series NCPs. The board supports SPI and UART EZSP interfaces for development flexibility. Modules separately contain the EM35x NCP and the host microcontroller to allow for freedom during application development. The modules are connected to the breakout board through robust connectors.

The NCP breakout board’s hardware stimuli include a temperature sensor, two buttons, a piezo buzzer, two LEDs and a 40,6 x 45,7 mm through-hole prototyping area. The board also contains a USB transceiver with USB connector, an RS232 transceiver with DB-9 connector, data emulation interface (DEI), InSight port (ISP) programming interface and regulated power planes. It includes an optional host interface to 2 MB external DataFlash in support of the ZigBee OTA Profile for over-the-air (OTA) application bootloader purposes.
