ZIM 3 MICROPROCESSOR The primary component of the ZIM module is Freescale’s third generation ZigBee platform. It incorporates a complete, low power, 2.4GHz 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 MC13224V 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 MC13224V 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 MC13224V provides extensive power savings options. options, including low current sleep modes allowing for maximum operating life when battery-powered. ANTENNA ZIM modules include an integrated PCB trace antenna. An optional MMCX connector can be specified, 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 efficiency, 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 significantly to antenna performance. The position of the module on the host board and overall design of the product enclosure contribute to antenna performance. Poor design affects radiation patterns and can result in reflection, 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.
ZIM 4 MODES OF OPERATION ZIM power management is controlled through the Freescale MC13224V’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 regulators. All these functions have direct impact on attaining the lowest power. The ZIM 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 significant reduction in power consumption while still maintaining a high degree of sleep timing accuracy. 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 MC13224V datasheet available at Freescale’s website (www.freescale.com)
ZIM 5 HOST-BOARD A host-board for evaluation purposes is available for configuring and testing the ZIM module. This host board has a USB interface for connection to a PC whereby SMAC commands can be sent via HyperTerminal. INTERFACE The ZIM module has all major pins routed to the host-board interface, this includes, but is not limited, to the pins for JTAG, serial communication, A/D, etc. HOST PROTOCOL INTERFACE COMMANDS Jabil 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 ZIM module. An example of the commands, but not limited to, included in the host protocol interface are as follows: • Query Version (MAC version, SMAC version, etc) • Set RF Channel • Set RF Power • Transmit Packet Error Test For more detail refer to Jabil ZIM Test SMAC Application User’s Guide ZIM_Test_SMAC_AUG
