FCC Approved RM2420 RF Communication Module Data Sheet
RAE Systems has partnered with Ember to manufacture and promote
module-level products. RAE Systems manufactures the EM2420 RF
Communications Module as the RM2420 RF Communications Module.
The RM2420 module offers a complete microcontroller/transceiver solution
Containing all hardware features necessary for development of a lowdata-rate, low-power wireless application. The primary components
include a 2.4GHz, IEEE 802.15.4 compliant Zigbee-ready transceiver
(RM2420), an 8-bit microcontroller (ATmega128L or ATmega64L), a 40-pin
interface connector, a reverse-polar SAM antenna connector, three low profile
crystals (32.768KHz, 16MHz) and power management circuitry.
The RM2420 Module is available to companies who have purchased the Ember EM2420 Developer’s Kit and it
complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.

Interface Decal Dimensions
Components
Microcontroller (U2)
The 8-bit flash-based ATmega 128L/ATmega64L microcontroller contains software for the configuration and
control of the RM2420, AMC and network functions, and the user-defined application software. The
microcontroller utilizes a 32.768KHz crystal for MAC timing and power management, as well as external crystal
operating at 8Hz. A variety of peripherals are routed to headers on the Developer Kit carrier board for
application development. For detail information on the microcontroller, see www.atmel.com.
When configuring the Ember Studio Debug Reader, enter the following baud rate into the Debug Preference
Window: 100,000. This rate is set by the microcontroller operating frequency.
Radio (U5)
The radio is an RM2420, a true single-chip 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 – compliant and Zigbee-ready radio
frequency transceiver designed for low-power and low-voltage wireless applications. It includes a digital direct
sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) baseband modem with an effective data rate of 250kbps.
Channel Frequencies
These channels are equivalent to IEEE 802.15.4 channels 11 to 26.
