ZigBit Module Overview
2.1
Overview
The ATZB-X0-256-3-0-C ZigBit is a compact, low-power, high sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee OEM module. Based on
a solid combination of the latest Atmel MCU Wireless hardware platform, 2.4GHz ISM band transceiver and Atmel
Studio Wireless Composer - the ZigBit offers an unmatched combination of superior radio performance, ultra-low power
consumption and exceptional ease of integration.
Figure 2-1. ATZB-X0-256-3-0-C Block diagram
This ZigBit module contains Atmel’s ATxmega256A3U Microcontroller and AT86RF233 2.4GHz ISM band Transceiver
for ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 [1]. The module features 256KB in-system self-programmable Flash memory, 16KB
SRAM and 4KB EEPROM.
The compact all-in-one board design of MCU and radio transceiver with very minimal components on the RF path to
Antenna dramatically improves the ZigBit’s compact size, range performance on signal transmission and increases its
sensitivity. This ensures stable connectivity within a larger coverage area, and helps develop applications on smaller
footprint. The MS-147 connector [2] can be used as an RF Test port.
ZigBit Module contains a complete RF/MCU design with all the necessary passive components included. The module
can be easily mounted on a simple 2-layer PCB with a minimum of required external connection. The ZigBit Module
evaluation kit containing the ZigBit extension board for the Atmel Xplained PRO HW evaluation platform can be used to
develop FW using the Atmel Studio and evaluate using the Wireless Composer. Compared to a custom RF/MCU
solution, a module-based solution offers considerable savings in development time and NRE cost per unit during the
HW/FW design, prototyping, and mass production phases of product development.
All ZigBits are preloaded with a bootloader when they are sold as modules, either in single units or T&R.
Depending on end-user design requirements, the ZigBit can operate as a self-contained sensor node, where it would
function as a single MCU, or it can be paired with a host processor driving the module over a serial interface.
ATZB-X0-256-3-0-C ZigBit 2.4GHz Wireless Modules [DATASHEET]
42172AWIRELESS10/2013
The MAC stack running on the host processor can then control data transmission and manages module peripherals.
Thus very minimal firmware customization is required for successful module design-in. Third-party sensors can then be
connected directly to the module, thus expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces.

Mounting Information
The Figures below shows the PCB layout recommended for a ZigBit module. Neither via-holes nor wires are allowed on
the PCB upper layer in the area occupied by the module. As a critical requirement, RF_GND pins should be grounded
via several via-holes to be located right next to the pins thus minimizing inductance and preventing both mismatch and
losses.

Antenna Reference Designs
Multiple factors affect proper antenna match, hence, affecting the antenna pattern. The particular factors are the board
material and thickness, shields, the material used for enclosure, the board neighborhood, and other components
adjacent to antenna. Following guidelines need to be followed when designing the base board for the ZigBit.
General Recommendations:

Metal enclosure should not be used. Using low profile enclosure might also affect antenna tuning.

Placing high profile components next to antenna should be avoided.

Having holes/vias punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board
edges also distorting antenna pattern.

ZigBit module should not be placed next to consumer electronics which might interfere with ZigBit’s RF band
frequency.
The board design should prevent propagation of microwave field inside the board material. Electromagnetic waves of
high frequency may penetrate the board thus making the edges of the board radiate, which may distort the antenna
pattern. To eliminate this effect, metalized and grounded holes/vias must be placed around the board's edges.

Handling Instructions
The ZigBit Modules are fixed with an EMI Shield to ensure compliance to Emission and Immunity rules. This shield is
galvanic and NOT air tight. So cleaning of the module with IPA / other similar agents is not advised. Humidity protection
coating (conformal) will cause deviated RF behavior and coating material being trapped inside EMI Shield. So this
should be avoided. For products requiring conformal coating, it is advised to suitably mask the ZigBit before applying
the coating to rest of the ZigBit carrier board. To protect ZigBit from humidity, the housing of the product should ensure
suitable Ingress Protection standards are complied with.
The MS-147 connector should never be exposed to varnish / similar conformal coating material which will affect
electrical connection on the surfaces of connector.
The in-built chip antenna has been tuned for the particular design

General Recommendations
 Metal enclosure should not be used. Using low profile enclosure might also affect antenna tuning
 Placing high profile components next to antenna should be avoided
 Having holes/vias punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board edges

OEM manufacturer must comply with the following regulations:
1.
The ATZB-X0-256-3-0-C modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, 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 FCC ID: VW4A091731 The enclosed device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (i.) this device may not cause harmful interference and (ii.) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
IMPORTANT: This equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation (FCC 15.19).
The internal antenna used for this mobile transmitter must provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all
persons and must not be colocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance. This device is approved as a mobile device with respect to RF exposure compliance, and may
only be marketed to OEM installers. Use in portable exposure conditions (FCC 2.1093) requires separate equipment
authorization.
IMPORTANT: Modifications not expressly approved by this company could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment (FCC section 15.21).
IMPORTANT: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense
(FCC section 15.105).
