![ETRX358X ©2014 Telegesis (UK) Ltd - 5 - ETRX358x Product Manual 1 Introduction This document describes the Telegesis ETRX358x and ETRX358xHR family of ZigBee modules which have been designed to be easily integrated into another device and to provide a fast, simple and low cost wireless mesh networking interface. The Telegesis ETRX3 series modules are based on the Silicon Labs ZigBee compliant platform consisting of the single chip family of EM358x SoCs combined with the ZigBee PRO compliant EmberZNet meshing stack. The ETRX358x and ETRX358xHR modules represent an ideal platform for custom firmware development in conjunction with the Silicon Labs ZigBee development kits. No RF experience or expertise is required to add this powerful wireless networking capability to your products. The ETRX358x and ETRX358xHR series of modules offer fast integration opportunities and the shortest possible time to market for your product. 1.1 Hardware Description The main building blocks of the ETRX358x and ETRX358xHR modules are the single chip EM358x SoC from Silicon Labs, a 24MHz reference crystal and RF front-end circuitry optimized for best RF performance. The modules are available with on-board antenna or alternatively a U.FL coaxial connector for attaching external antennae. Modules with the U.FL connector are identified by the “HR” suffix. The integrated antenna is an Antenova Rufa, and details of the radiation pattern are available from the Antenova website [5].

For more information on the alternate functions please refer to [2]. All GND pads are connected within the module, but for best RF performance all of them should be grounded externally ideally to a ground plane. “Important Note: If designers would like to keep open the option of using either standard or long range modules in the same product please note the following. The ETRX358x series and the ETRX358x-LRS series of modules are footprint compatible, but on the ETRX358x-LRS series pins PB0 and PC5 of the EM358x are used internally to control the front-end module and are not available to the user.”](https://usermanual.wiki/Silicon-Laboratories-Finland/EM358X.User-manual/User-Guide-2371356-Page-11.png)

The EM358x and EM358xHR are fully integrated 2.4GHz ZigBee transceivers with a 32-bit ARM® Cortex M3TM microprocessor, flash and RAM memory, and peripherals. The industry standard serial wire and JTAG programming and debugging interfaces together with the standard ARM system debug components help to streamline any custom software development. In addition to this a number of MAC functions are also implemented in hardware to help maintaining the strict timing requirements imposed by the ZigBee and IEEE802.15.4 standards. The new advanced power management features allow faster wakeup from sleep and new power down modes allowing this 4th generation module to offer a longer battery life than any 1st and 2nd generation modules on the market. The EM358x modules have fully integrated voltage regulators for both required 1.8V and 1.25V supply voltages. The voltages are monitored (brown-out detection) and the built in power-on-reset circuit eliminates the need for any external monitoring circuitry. An optional 32.768 kHz watch crystal can be connected externally to pads 3 and 4 in case more accurate timing is required. To utilize the external watch crystal custom firmware is required. 4.1 Hardware Interface All GPIO pins of the EM358x chips are accessible on the module’s pads. Whether signals are used as general purpose I/Os, or assigned to a peripheral function like ADC is set by the firmware. When developing custom firmware please refer to the EM358x datasheet [2].](https://usermanual.wiki/Silicon-Laboratories-Finland/EM358X.User-manual/User-Guide-2371356-Page-13.png)

Recommended Reflow Profile Use of “No-Clean” solder paste is recommended to avoid the requirement for a cleaning process. Cleaning the module is strongly discouraged because it will be difficult to ensure no cleaning agent and other residuals are remaining underneath the shielding can as well as in the gap between the module and the host board. Please Note: Maximum number of reflow cycles: 2 Opposite-side reflow is prohibited due to the module’s weight. (i.e. you must not place the module on the bottom / underside of your PCB and re-flow).](https://usermanual.wiki/Silicon-Laboratories-Finland/EM358X.User-manual/User-Guide-2371356-Page-26.png)
