IRIS OEM Edition Hardware Reference Manual 4 IRIS OEM Reference Board The IRIS OEM reference board is a carrier PCB with the same form factor and functionality as the IRIS family product. It consists of a surface mount module consisting of a processor core and a two-way radio, high density digital interface connector, RF coaxial antenna connector, power supply connection, battery pack connection, power switch, and mounting holes. 4.1 Block Diagram The block diagram for OEM reference board is provided in Figure 4-1. The detailed schematics and Gerber files are provided in the CD-ROM. Figure 4-1. Block diagram of the OEM Reference Board 4.2 Layout Considerations The reference design requires specific support for the module. I/O pins used for communication with peripherals will require pull-up resistors (10kΩ), such as the UART transmit and receive pins. The RF out port must be connected to a 50 ohm trace to the antenna terminal. A ground plane and proper impedance control must be observed for optimum function. No additional RF filtering is necessary for the reference design. A typical design should include a ground plane under the STAMP to provide a good transition between the 50 ohm RF port and the mating board. Connecting the grounds on both sides of the RF pad is strongly recommended. Using a trace that has almost the same width as the RF pin will also help to minimize impedance mismatch as the RF connection transitions from the module to the board. Provide a ground flood on the surface of the board from the RF ground terminals to the antenna connector where possible, using regularly spaced vias to the ground plane in the area of the copper flood. Provide a clearance region between the flood and the 50 ohm trace that is at least equal to the width of the trace. A good value for the trace width is 37 mils with a dielectric thickness of 20 mils between the trace and the ground plane for FR4 material. Page 14 Doc. # 7430-0549-01 Rev. B
IRIS OEM Edition Hardware Reference Manual The RF output port is 50 ohm and can be connected directly to a 50 ohm microstrip or 50 ohm coaxial cable. A PI-Matching network is recommended for antenna matching especially when using inner antennas. If the antenna’s input impedance is not 50 ohm, please contact antenna vendor and ask for matching network value. An example of a typical layout is shown in Figure 4-2. OEM Module OEM Module Figure 4-2. An example layout for OEM Edition Module 4.3 Circuit Design Considerations An external crystal is not required. The unit can be configured to run on the internal RC oscillator, leaving the crystal connections open. If an external crystal is to be used, place the crystal as close to the input pins as possible to reduce parasitics. When selecting capacitors for the crystal, take into account the stray capacitance from the board to the module and adjust accordingly. If an external clock is used, XTL1 (PIN 6) should be used, and XTL2 (PIN 5) should be left open. For proper operation, correct selection of clock fuse options is required. XTAL1 and XTAL2 are input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can be configured for use as an On-chip Oscillator, as shown in Figure 4-3. Either a quartz crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used. Normally, a 7.3728 MHz crystal is used for units requiring serial communication. The CKOPT fuse selects between two different Oscillator Amplifier modes. Doc. # 7430-0549-01 Rev. B Page 15
IRIS OEM Edition Hardware Reference Manual When CKOPT is programmed, the Oscillator output will oscillate will a full rail-to-rail swing on the output. This mode is suitable when operating in a very noisy environment or when the output from XTAL2 drives a second clock buffer. This mode has a wide frequency range. When CKOPT is unprogrammed, the Oscillator has a smaller output swing. This reduces power consumption considerably. This mode has a limited frequency range and it can not be used to drive other clock buffers. C1 and C2 should always be equal for both crystals and resonators. The optimal value of the capacitors depends on the crystal or resonator in use, the amount of stray capacitance, and the electromagnetic noise of the environment. XTAL2XTAL1GNDXTAL2XTAL1GND Figure 4-3. Crystal Oscillator Connections The device has the following clock source options, selectable by Flash fuse bits as shown in Table 4-1. The clock from the selected source is input to the AVR clock generator, and routed to the appropriate modules. Table 4-1.

Method 1: 1) Pre-tin the surface mount pads on the board the OEM module will be soldered to. Be careful to use an equal amount of solder on each pad.
IRIS OEM Edition Hardware Reference Manual 2) Apply a small amount of flux to the tinned pads. 3) Place the OEM module on the pads, making sure to have the pin one reference markings aligned. Inspect the placement to make sure the OEM module edge contacts are centered on the pads on all four sides. 4) While applying mild pressure to the top of the OEM module (to hold it in position), apply heat from a fine soldering tip to the area of the pre-tinned pad that is exposed at the edge of the OEM module. Reflow only one corner pad first, and verify the OEM module is still positioned correctly on the remaining pads. 5) Using a fine solder tip, reflow each of the pre-tinned pads until the solder flows and makes contact with the pad on the underside of the OEM module. Method 2: 1) Pre-tin the surface mount pads on the board the OEM module will be soldered to. Be careful to use an equal amount of solder on each pad. 2) Apply a small amount of flux to the tinned pads. 3) Place the OEM module on the pads, making sure to have the pin one reference markings aligned. Inspect the placement to make sure the OEM module edge contacts are centered on the pads on all four sides. 4) While applying mild pressure to the top of the OEM module (to hold it in position), apply heat from a thermal heat gun to the edges of the OEM module until the exposed solder on the pre-tinned pads melts. 4.4.2 Machine Soldering The recommended solder profile for OEM module is shown in Figure 4-4.

IRIS OEM Edition Hardware Reference Manual 4.5 Peripheral Interfaces on OEM Edition Module The ports available on the OEM Edition module consist of the following: • UART0 • USART1 • I2C bus • SPI bus • ONE-WIRE • ADC ports • GPIO 4.5.1 UART0 The UART0 port is a dual function port. It is used in conjunction with the RSTN (active LOW) and SPI_CK lines to program the CPU. The CPU is in program mode if the RSTN line is low, and data is clocked in using the UART0_RX and SPI_CK lines. The RSTN line has an internal 10K pull-up to bring it out of reset when power is applied. When the device is not being programmed, the UART0 port serves as the main communication port to a system controller. An external 10k pull-up resistor is recommended on the UART0_RX and UART0_RX ports to hold the lines in a known state during power-up and reset. The rates supported are a function of the system clock chosen. ; EXAMPLE For standard crystal and resonator frequencies, the most commonly used baud rates for asynchronous operation can be generated by using the UBRR settings as shown in Table 4-4. UBRR values which yield an actual baud rate differing less than 0.5% from the target baud rate, are bold in the table. Higher error ratings are acceptable, but the receiver will have less noise resistance when the error ratings are high, especially for large serial frames. The error values are calculated using the following equation: Doc. # 7430-0549-01 Rev. B Page 19 100*1(%) ⎟⎠⎞⎜⎝⎛−= BaudRateBaudRateError chClosestMat Table 4-4. Oscillator frequency = 7.32826 MHz

Proper management of the chip select lines (FLASH_CS) is required to avoid port contention. The serial flash also has a reset line (FLASH_RSTN) that can be asserted externally to place the serial flash in a known state. The flash reset line has an internal 10K pull-up resistor to enable the device after power-on. Additional pull-up resistors may be required on the USART1_TX, USART1_RX, and USART_CK lines to avoid unintentional communication with external peripherals during reset or power-on. 4.5.3 I2C The I2C bus is a two-wire interface that is meant to control I2C peripherals. I2C peripherals usually require an external 5K pull-up to supply power to the port, and use an addressing scheme that is internal to the I2C peripheral. Many of the I2C peripherals have an internal hard-wired portion of their address along with some external address decode lines in the event multiple devices of the same kind are attached to the bus. See the individual vendor datasheets for details. 4.5.4 SPI The SPI bus is a bidirectional synchronous bus common to many devices available. As it is applied in the OEM Edition module, the SPI bus is dedicated to the radio data interface, and cannot be used for other peripherals. The SPI_CK line is made available to facilitate reprogramming the processor, and should be left in a high impedance state when not in programming mode. 4.5.5 One-Wire The One-Wire bus is a single wire bidirectional bus used to communicate with the Dallas/Maxim series of One-Wire peripherals. These devices require a 5k resistor to VCC to bias the pin, and accurate timing of signals on the bus for proper communication. WARNING: The choice of system clock is critical to making this interface work. 4.5.6 ADC Ports The OEM Edition module features 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The ADC is connected to an 8-channel Analog Multiplexer which allows 8 single-ended voltage inputs. The Page 20 Doc. # 7430-0549-01 Rev. B
IRIS OEM Edition Hardware Reference Manual Doc. # 7430-0549-01 Rev. B Page 21 single ended voltage inputs are reference to 0V (GND). The ADC ports are high impedance inputs to the ADC, used for voltage sampling. The uppermost bits (ADC[4..7]) also support the JTAG interface. The JTAG port can be enabled by choosing that option in the fuse bits for the processor. Choosing the JTAG active option will cause approximately 50k ohms to be applied from the ADC pin to VCC. This setting can affect the accuracy of ADC readings from weak sources. Table 4-5. JTAG Pin Definitions PIN PORT ADC4 TCK ADC5 TMS ADC6 TDO ADC7 TDI RSTN RSTN The JTAG programming capability supports: • Flash programming and verifying • EEPROM programming and verifying • Fuse programming and verifying • Lock bit programming and verifying 4.5.7 GPIO The remainder of the I/O pins is available as GPIO under processor configuration control. All GPIO ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital I/O ports. This means that the direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing the direction of any other pin with the SBI and CBI instructions. The same applies when changing drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling of pull-up resistors (if configured as input). They can be left floating if not used, or can be set as inputs with a weak pull-up, outputs set high, or outputs set low.

Any battery combination (AA, AAA, C, D, etc., cells) can be used provided that the output is between 2.7 VDC to 3.6 VDC. Care should be used in selecting the battery and its capacity to match the energy needs of the motes and their required operating span. Also make sure that the temperature range and associated capacity degradation are looked at prior to deployment. Table 5-1 below provides some useful guidance on current consumption of various system components. Table 5-1.

During sleep, current consumption is in the micro-amps as opposed to milli-amps. This results in very low-current draw the majority of the time, and short duration spikes while processing, receiving, and transmitting data. This method extends battery life; however, due to the current surges, it reduces specified battery capacity. Battery capacity is typically specified by the manufacturer for a constant nominal current drawn.

B 6 Radios 6.1 M2110 The radio used by the M2110 is an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver designed for low-power and low-voltage wireless applications. It uses Atmel’s AT86RF230 radio that employs O-QPSK (“Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying”) with half sine pulse shaping. The 802.15.4 radio includes a DSSS (digital direct sequence spread spectrum) baseband modem providing a spreading gain of 9 dB and an effective data rate of 250 kbps. The radio is a highly integrated solution for wireless communication in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM band. It complies with worldwide regulations covered by ETSI EN 300 328 and EN 300 440 class 2 (Europe), FCC CFR47 Part 15 (US) and ARIB STD-T66 (Japan). 6.1.1 Radio RF Channel Selection The M2110’s Atmel radio can be tuned within the IEEE 802.15.4 channels that are numbered from 11 (2.405 GHz) to 26 (2.480 GHz) each separated by 5 MHz. 6.1.2 Radio Transmission Power RF transmission power is programmable from 3 dBm to –17.2 dBm. Lower transmission power can be advantageous by reducing interference and dropping radio power consumption. Table 6-1.

B Page 25 7 Antennas 7.1 Radio/Antenna Considerations An antenna facilitates the transfer the reception of RF energy to and from free space. Care should be taken in the antenna choice or design so it provides proper coverage for the environment expected. Good antenna design is the most critical factor in obtaining good range and stable throughput in a wireless application. This is especially true in low power RF transceivers and compact antenna designs, where antenna space is less than optimal. However, several compact, cost efficient, and very effective options exist for implementing integrated antennas. To obtain the desired performance, it is required that users have at least a basic knowledge about how antennas function, and the design parameters involved. These parameters include selecting the correct antenna, antenna tuning, matching, gain/loss, and knowing the required radiation pattern. Refer to the “Antenna Design Considerations” application note to understand antenna basics, and aid in selecting the right compact antenna solution for the application. Care should be taken to provide an antenna that provides proper coverage for the environment expected. Range and performance are strongly affected by choice of antenna and antenna placement within the environment. In addition, care must be taken to ensure compliance with FCC article 15 regulations for intentional radiators. Because of its small physical size, the usual antenna chosen is a length of insulated wire one-quarter wavelength long for the frequency of interest. This type of antenna is often called a monopole antenna, and its gain is ground plane dependent. There are literally hundreds of antenna designs, but to simplify the default antenna for the OEM reference board, an insulated wire attached to a right handed MMCX RF connector is used. The length of the wire is one-quarter wavelength of an RF signal 2.4 GHz. This type of antenna is often called a quarter wave whip monopole. Antenna lengths for the different radio frequencies are provided in Table 7-1. Table 7-1. Antenna lengths for quarter wavelength whip antennas Model Whip Antenna Length (inches) M2110 (2.4 GHz) 1.2 Third-party or custom made antennas can also be used by attaching them to the MMCX connector. For making your own antenna, the part numbers of the MMCX mating connectors are shown in Table 7-2 and Table 7-3. These can be purchased from Digi-Key. There are two manufacturers—Johnson Components and Hirose Electric Ltd. The mating connectors come in straight and right angle. They also support two different standard varieties of coaxial cable—RG178 /U and RG 316/U. There are also other vendors who sell MMCX to SMA conversion cables.

There are literally hundreds of antenna options offered by different vendors and some references are provided below: • Linx Technologies: http://www.linxtechnologies.com/ • Nearson: http://www.nearson.com/ These antennas are terminated in a coax pigtail, and must have an appropriate connector installed. They also function best with a ground plane installed, as shown in Figure 7-1. . The ground plane can be a layer of aluminum or copper tape attached to the lid of a plastic enclosure, or the lid of a metal enclosure. 1/2 WAVELENGTHRECOMMENDEDMETALLICGROUNDPLANENUT MAKES CONTACT WITHGROUND PLANE1/2 WAVELENGTHRECOMMENDED1/2 WAVELENGTHRECOMMENDEDMETALLICGROUNDPLANENUT MAKES CONTACT WITHGROUND PLANE Figure 7-1.

IRIS OEM Edition Hardware Reference Manual Doc. # 7430-0549-01 Rev. B Page 27 The OEM Edition module is well suited for embedded antenna designs. Proper care must be taken in the design phase to account for packaging effects due to the enclosure, metallic parts adjacent to the antenna, and placement on the PCB. In addition, the final application and expected performance should be evaluated for suitable antenna choice. For an example of embedded antenna design, Refer to the application note on “Antenna Design Considerations”.

B 8 Flash Data Logger and Serial ID Chip All OEM Edition Modules feature a 512 k serial flash for storing data, measurements, and other user-defined information. It is connected to one of the USART on the ATmega1281V. This chip is supported in MoteWorks which uses this chip as micro file system. The serial flash device supports over 100,000 measurement readings. This chip is also used for XOtap (Over the Air Programming) services available in MoteWorks. ; NOTE: This device consumes 15 mA of current when writing data. The OEM Edition modules also have a 64-bit serial ID chip.
IRIS OEM Edition Hardware Reference Manual Doc. # 7430-0549-01 Rev. B Page 29 9 Atmega1281 Fuses The ATMega1281V processor on the OEM edition modules has many programmable fuses to control various parameters. Refer to Atmel’s technical information for the ATMega1281V for a complete discussion of the fuses. There are two fuses that MoteWorks users should be aware of as setting these fuses incorrectly will cause the unit to not operate correctly. 9.1 JTAG fuse This fuse enables users to use the Atmel JTAG pod for in-circuit code debugging. Units are shipped with JTAG enabled. As discussed in the previous section on battery voltage monitoring, if JTAG is enabled, it will cause inaccurate measurements on ADC channel 7. 9.2 Using UISP to set fuses The UISP utility used to download code to the OEM edition modules via a programming board can also be used to set and unset fuses of the Atmel® ATMega1281. Table 9-1. UISP Commands for Setting the ATMega1281’s Fuses Action Command Disable JTAG fuse uisp -dprog=<programmer> --wr_fuse_h=0xd9Enable JTAG fuse uisp -dprog=<programmer> --wr_fuse_h=0x19Enable native 128 mode uisp -dprog=<programmer> --wr_fuse_e=0xffUse internal clock uisp -dprog=<programmer> --wr_fuse_l=0xc2Use external clock uisp -dprog=<programmer> --wr_fuse_l=0xff<programmer> is the device you are using to interface to the Mote from a computer. The current options are dapa (for an MIB500), mib510 for a MIB510; and EPRB for a MIB600. Users can also edit the file called profile in the cygwin/etc/ directory and enter an alias. One example is this alias to disable the JTAG fuse: alias fuse_dis="uisp -dprog=<programmer> --wr_fuse_h=0xd9" Therefore, when fuse_dis and is entered into a Cygwin command line, the script will be executed.
