Overview
The JN5168-001-Myy family is a range of ultra low power, high performance surface mount
modules targeted at IEEE 802.15.4, JenNet-IP, ZigBee Light Link, ZigBee Smart Energy and
RF4CE networking applications, enabling users to realise products with minimum time to
market and at the lowest cost. They remove the need for expensive and lengthy development
of custom RF board designs and test suites. The modules use NXP‟s JN5168 wireless
microcontroller to provide a comprehensive solution with large memory, high CPU and radio
performance and all RF components included. All that is required to develop and manufacture
wireless control or sensing products is to connect a power supply and peripherals such as
switches, actuators and sensors, considerably simplifying product development.
Four module variants are available: JN5168-001-M00 with an integrated antenna, JN5168-001-
M03 with an antenna connector and the JN5168-001-M05 and M06 with an antenna connector,
power amplifier and LNA for extended range. The JN5168-001-M05 output power has been
optimised for use in Europe and Asia.

1. Introduction
The JN5168-001-Myy module family provides designers with a ready-made component that provides a fully
integrated solution for applications, using the IEEE802.15.4 standard in the 2.4-2.5GHz ISM frequency band [1],
including JenNet-IP and ZigBee Smart Energy, and can be quickly and easily included in product designs. The
modules integrate all of the RF components required, removing the need to perform expensive RF design and test.
Products can be designed by simply connecting sensors and switches to the module IO pins. The modules use
NXP‟s single chip IEEE802.15.4 Wireless Microcontroller, allowing designers to make use of the extensive chip
development support material. Hence, this range of modules allows designers to bring wireless applications to
market in the minimum time with significantly reduced development effort and cost.
Four variants are available: JN5168-001-M00, JN5168-001-M03, JN5168-001-M05 and JN5168-001-M06. All
modules have FCC and Industry Canada modular approvals. All modules other than the JN5168-001-M06 are also
CE compliant and subject to a Notified Body Opinion.
The variants available are described below.

A.3 Optimal PCB placement of the JN5168-001-M00 Module
The JN5168-001-M00 module features an optimised, low cost, integrated, inverted F, printed PCB antenna. The
antenna has a vertically polarised near omnidirectional radiation pattern and up to 1.6 dBi of peak gain. The PCB
design has been elongated in order to increase the ground plane area which increases the antenna efficiency. This
allows stand alone operation without any additional ground plane however care must be taken when mounting this
module onto another PCB. The area around the antenna must be kept clear of conductors or other metal objects for
an absolute minimum of 20 mm. This is true for all layers of the PCB and not just the top layer. Any conductive
objects close to the antenna could severely disrupt the antenna pattern resulting in deep nulls and high directivity in
some directions.
The diagrams below show various possible scenarios. The top 3 scenarios are correct; groundplane may be placed
beneath JN5168-001-M00 module as long as it does not protrude beyond the edge of the top layer ground plane on
the module PCB.
The bottom 3 scenarios are incorrect; the left hand side example because there is groundplane underneath the
antenna, the middle example because there is insufficient clearance around the antenna (it is best to have no
conductors anywhere near the antenna), finally the right hand example has a battery‟s metal casing in the
recommended keep out area.

A.5.2 Soldering Paste and Cleaning
NXP does not recommend use of a solder paste that requires the module and PCB assembly to be cleaned (rinsed in
water) for the following reasons:
Solder flux residues and water can be trapped by the PCB, can or components and result in short circuits.
The module label could be damaged or removed.
NXP recommends use of a 'no clean' solder paste for all its module products.

This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed above, and having a maximum gain of 2.2 dBi.
Alternative vertical antennas may be used provided that the gain does not exceed 2.2 dBi. Antennas having a gain
greater than 2.2 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
A.8.2 High Power Module usage limitation
The high power module variants are classified as „mobile‟ device pursuant with FCC § 2.1091 and must not be used
at a distance of < 20 cm (8”) from any people. This applies to the JN5168-001-M06 module type (TYOJN5168M6).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with
another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the
final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product
(including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this
RF module in the user manual of the end product.
The user manual for the end product must include the following information in a prominent location;
“To comply with FCC‟s RF radiation exposure requirements, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
A.8.3 FCC End Product Labelling
The final „end product‟ should be labelled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains TX FCC ID: TYOJN5168M0, TYOJN5168M3, TYOJN5168M5 or TYOJN5168M6” to reflect the version of
the module being used inside the product.
