FREESTAR PRO SERIES TRANSCEIVER MODULES
DESCRIPTION
CEL’s FreeStar Pro module provides a high performance and cost
effective RF transceiver solution for 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee,
and Zigbee PRO wireless networks.
The FreeStar Pro module is based on the Freescale™ MC13224V
(ZFSM-201-1) or MC13226V (ZFSM-201-2) transceiver platforms. It
combines Freescale’s transceiver IC with an onboard 100mW Power
Amplier. Ideal for remote sensing, AMR/AMI, home and building
automation, industrial control, and security applications, FreeStar Pro
combines extensive processing capability with high output power and
low power consumption.
The processing power of the MC1322xV enables the FreeStar Pro to
provide a level of integration unprecedented in a ZigBee module. The
32-bit ARM7TDMI processor and expansive on-chip memory enable
designers to eliminate the peripheral host processors often required
by 8- and 16-bit transceiver solutions. This high level of integration
reduces component count, lower power consumption and overall
system costs.

mICROPROCESSOR
The primary component of the FreeStar Pro module is Freescale’s third generation ZigBee platform. It incorporates
a complete, low power, 2.4 GHz radio frequency transceiver, 32-bit ARM7TDMI-based microprocessor, hardware
acceleration for both IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and AES security plus a full suite of processor peripherals.
The MC1322xV architecture offers superior processing power for ZigBee applications. The core operates up to 26 MHz.
An 80 kByte ROM is utilized for the low level IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and PHYsical layer commands. This off loads the Flash
memory, leaving more space for the end user application. The MC1322xV supports 128 kBytes of Flash memory. The
program code is mirrored in 96 kBytes of RAM for faster execution by the processor core. A full set of peripherals and
Direct Memory Access (DMA) capability for transceiver packet data are also included.
In addition, the MC1322xV provides extensive power savings options, including low current sleep modes allowing for
maximum operating life when battery-powered.
The MC1322x family is available as two part numbers. These device types differ only in their ROM contents, all other
device hardware, performance, and specications are identical:
• mC13224V - this is the original version and is the generic part type.
- The MC13224V is intended for most IEEE 802.15.4 applications including MAC-based,
ZigBee-2007 Prole 1, and ZigBee RF4CE targets.
- It has a more complete set of peripheral drivers in ROM.
• mC13226V - this is a more recent version and is provided specically for ZigBee-2007 Prole 2 (Pro)
applications. Only the onboard ROM image has been changed to optimize ROM usage for the ZigBee Pro
prole and maximize the amount of available RAM for application use.
- The IEEE MAC/PHY functionality has been streamlined to include only that functionality
required by the ZigBee specication. The MAC functionality is 802.15.4 compatible.
- For a typical application, up to 20 kbytes more of RAM is available versus the M13224V
- Some drivers present in the MC13224 ROM have been removed and these include the ADC,
LCD font, and SSI drivers. These drivers are still available as library functions, but now compile into the
RAM space.
- The Low Level Component (LLC) functionality has also been streamlined for the ZigBee Specication.
ANTENNA
FreeStar Pro modules include an integrated PCB trace antenna. An optional MMCX connector can be specied, enabling
connection to a 50-ohm external antenna of the user’s choice. See Ordering Information on page 1.
The PCB antenna employs an F-Antenna topology that is compact and supports an omni-directional radiation pattern.
To maximize antenna efciency, an adequate ground plane must be provided on the host PCB. Correctly positioned, the
ground plane on the host board under the module will contribute signicantly to antenna performance.
The position of the module on the host board and overall design of the product enclosure contribute to antenna perfor-
mance. Poor design affects radiation patterns and can result in reection, diffraction, and/or scattering of the transmitted
signal.
Here are some design guidelines to help ensure antenna performance:
• Never place the ground plane or route copper traces directly underneath the antenna portion of the module.
• Never place the antenna close to metallic objects.
• In the overall design, ensure that wiring and other components are not placed near the antenna.
• Do not place the antenna in a metallic or metallized plastic enclosure.
• Keep plastic enclosures 1cm or more from the antenna in any direction.

MODES OF OPERATION
FreeStar Pro power management is controlled through the Freescale MC1322xV’s Clock and Reset Module (CRM). The
CRM is a dedicated module to handle clock, reset, and power management functions including control of the power regu-
lators. All these functions have direct impact on attaining the lowest power.
The FreeStar Pro module supports three modes of operation: Active, Doze and Hibernation. The latter two modes are the
low-power sleep modes.
Active Mode
In this mode all functions / features are operating normally.
Doze Mode
Doze mode provides signicant reduction in power consumption while still maintaining a high degree of sleep timing ac-
curacy. In Doze mode, the reference oscillator of the processor continues to operate normally.
Hibernation Mode
Hibernation mode provides the greatest reduction in power consumption however the sleep timing accuracy is not as
precise as in Doze mode.
The CRM manages the recovery from the low-power modes, similar to power-up from reset, providing regulator and clock
management.
The module can be awoken from the low-power modes in 3 ways, wake-up can occur:
• On external interrupts through any of the 4 Keyboard Interface inputs
• From internal interrupts
• On the Real Time (wake-up) timer interrupt
For more detail information on modes of operation refer to Freescale’s MC1322xV datasheet available at
Freescale’s website (www.freescale.com)

POWER AMPLIFIER
The FreeStar Pro module incorporates a high performance Power Amplier from Renesas Electronics.
Power Amplier Control Line
FreeStar Pro modules include a separate 1.8V regulator supplying a bias that enables consistent module output performance
over the wide operating range. To prevent excessive sleep current draw, this regulator should be disabled when the module is
placed into sleep mode.The voltage regulator is controlled by GPIO42 (ANT1), setting GPIO42 high enables the regulator while
setting GPIO42 low disables the regulator. See the table below for the Turn on Time requirements for the voltage regulator.
SPECIFICATIONS — GPIO42
Parameter Min Typ Max Unit
Regulator enable voltage 0.95 V
Regulator disable voltage 0.40 V
Turn on Time for VOUT=1.8V (Default) 105 200 µsec
For the TX_ON and RX_ON pins, the function table is as follows:
Parameter TX Mode RX Mode
TX_ON High Low
RX_ON Low High
Other Notes:
• The GPIO43 (ANT2) pin is not used and is left unconnected.
• Due to the long turn on time (105µs) of the regulator, the regulator is enabled or ON all the time with the
execption of sleep mode.
• The RF switch uses both the TX_ON and RX_ON outputs as control inputs.
• The PA uses the TX_ON line as the control input.
INTERFACE
The FreeStar Pro module has all major pins routed to the castellation connectors, this includes, but is not limited, to the pins for
JTAG, serial communication, A/D, etc.
HOST PROTOCOL INTERFACE COMMANDS
CEL provides the Host Serial and RF Protocols document which details the protocols and commands between the Host
processor (i.e. an external microprocessor, a PC, etc.) and the FreeStar Pro module. An example of the commands, but
not limited to, included in the host protocol interface are as follows:
• Query Version (MAC version)
• Set RF Channel
• Set RF Power
• Transmit Packet Error Test

Achieve the brightest possible solder llets with a good shape and low contact angle.
Pb-Free Soldering Paste
Use of “No Clean” soldering paste is strongly recommended, as it does not require cleaning after the soldering process.
Note: The quality of solder joints on the castellations (‘half vias’) where they contact the host board should meet the appropriate IPC
Specication. See IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, section 8.2.4 Castellated Terminations.”
Cleaning
In general, cleaning the populated modules is strongly discouraged. Residuals under the module cannot be easily re-
moved with any cleaning process.
• Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host board and
the module. The combination of soldering ux residuals and encapsulated water could lead to short circuits between
neighboring pads. Water could also damage any stickers or labels.
• Cleaning with alcohol or a similar organic solvent will likely ood soldering ux residuals into the two housings, which is
not accessible for post-washing inspection. The solvent could also damage any stickers or labels.
• Ultrasonic cleaning could damage the module permanently.
The best approach is to consider using a “no clean” soldering paste and eliminate the post-soldering cleaning step.
Optical Inspection
After soldering the Module to the host board, consider optical inspection to check the following:
• Proper alignment and centering of the module over the pads.
• Proper solder joints on all pads.
• Excessive solder or contacts to neighboring pads, or vias.
Repeating Reow Soldering
Only a single reow soldering process is encouraged for host boards.
Wave Soldering
If a wave soldering process is required on the host boards due to the presence of leaded components, only a single wave
soldering process is encouraged.
Hand Soldering
Hand soldering is possible. Use a soldering iron temperature setting equivalent to 350°C, follow IPC recommendations/
reference document IPC-7711.

for integration into products without further testing or certication. To fulll the FCC and IC certication requirements, the
OEM using the FreeStar Pro Module must ensure that the information provided on the FreeStar Pro Label is placed on
the outside of the nal product. The FreeStar Pro Module is labeled with its own FCC ID Number and IC ID Number. IF
the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the
module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as
the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: W7Z-FSTARPRO” or “Contains FCC ID: W7Z-FSTARPRO”
The OEM using the FreeStar Pro Module must only use the approved antennas, (PCB Trace Antenna or Nearson Whip
Antenna Model S181AH-2450S) that has been certied with this module. The OEM using the FreeStar Pro Module must
test their nal product conguration to comply with Unintentional Radiator Limits before declaring FCC compliance per Part 15
of the FCC rules.

OEM Responsibility to the European Union Compliance Rules
If the FreeStar Pro module is to be incorporated into a product, the OEM must verify compliance of the nal product to the
European Harmonized EMC and Low-Voltage / Safety Standards. A Declaration of Conformity must be issued for each of
these standards and kept on le as described in Annex II of the R&TTE Directive.
The manufacturer must maintain the user's guide and adhere to the settings described in the manual for maintaining
European Union Compliance. If any of the specications are exceeded in the nal product, the OEM is required to
make a submission to the notied body for compliance testing.
OEM Labeling Requirements
The `CE' mark must be placed on the OEM product in a visible location.
The CE mark shall consist of the initials “CE” with the following form:
· If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged, the proportions given in the above graduated
drawing must be adhered to.
· The CE mark must be a minimum of 5mm in height
· The CE marking must be afxed visibly, legibly, and indelibly Since the 2400 - 2483.5 MHz
band is not harmonized by a few countries throughout Europe, the Restriction sign must be
placed to the right of the `CE' marking as shown in the picture
