ETRX351 and ETRX357 ©2010 Telegesis (UK) Ltd - 5 - ETRX35x Preliminary Product Manual 1 Introduction This document describes the Telegesis ETRX351 and ETRX357 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 Ember ZigBee® platform consisting of the single chip EM351 or EM357 combined with the ZigBee® PRO compliant EmberZNet meshing stack. Integration into a wide range of applications is made easy using a simple AT style command interface and advanced hardware design. The configurable functionality of the Telegesis AT Commandset often allows the ETRX3 series ZigBee® modules to be used without an additional host microcontroller saving even more integration time and costs. In addition to the Telegesis AT Commandset, the ETRX351 and ETRX357 modules can be used with custom-built firmware whilst representing an ideal platform for custom firmware development in conjunction with the Ember development kits. No RF experience or expertise is required to add this powerful wireless networking capability to your products. The ETRX351 and ETRX357 offer fast integration opportunities and the shortest possible time to market for your product. 1.1 Hardware Description The main building blocks of the ETRX351 and ETRX357 are the single chip EM351 and EM357 SoCs from Ember, 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 etc are available from the Antenova website [5]. Module Chip Flash RAM ETRX351 EM351 128kB 12kB ETRX351HR EM351 128kB 12kB ETRX357 EM357 192kB 12kB ETRX357HR EM357 192kB 12kB Table 1: Memories The ETRX351 and ETRX357 are used for ZigBee® (www.zigbee.org) applications. If you wish to create your own custom firmware, and not use the pre-loaded Telegesis AT-Command interface, you will need the Ember InSight toolchain, consisting of InSight Desktop™ together with a comprehensive integrated development environment (IDE). The Ember development environment is currently not suitable for developing an IEEE802.15.4-only application that does not use the ZigBee® layer.

ETRX351 and ETRX357 ©2010 Telegesis (UK) Ltd - 8 - ETRX35x Preliminary Product Manual 2.4 ICASA Approvals The ETRX351, ETRX357, ETRX351HR and ETRX357HR have been certified to be used in South Africa. 2.5 Australia and New Zealand (C-Tick) The ETRX351, ETRX357, ETRX351HR and ETRX357HR have been certified to be used in Australia and new Zealand. 2.6 Declarations of Conformity Telegesis (UK) Ltd has issued Declarations of Conformity for all ETRX3 series ZigBee® RF Modules, which cover Radio Emissions, EMC and Safety. These documents are available from our website or on request. 2.7 IEEE 802.15.4 IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard for low data-rate, wireless networks (raw bit-rate within a radio packet of 250kbps @2.4GHz) which focuses on low cost, low duty cycle, long primary battery life applications as well as mains-powered applications. It is the basis for the open ZigBee® Protocol. 2.8 The ZigBee® Protocol The ZigBee® Protocol is a set of standards for wireless connectivity for use between any devices over short to medium distances. The specification was originally ratified in December 2004, paving the way for companies to start making low-power networks a reality. ZigBee® uses the IEEE 802.15.4 radio specification running on the 2.4GHz band, plus three additional layers for networking, security and applications. What makes the specification unique is its use of a mesh network architecture which, in bucket chain style, passes data from one node to the next until it lands at its destination. The network is self-healing and adapts its routing as link quality changes or nodes move. Furthermore, nodes can be defined as End Devices which do not act as routers, but can therefore be put into a low-power sleep state. The enhanced version of the ZigBee® standard (or ZigBee® 2006) was released in December 2006, adding new features and improvements to the only global wireless communication standard enabling the development of easily deployable low-cost, low-power, monitoring and control products for homes, commercial buildings and industrial plant monitoring. In 2007 the ZigBee Alliance introduced the PRO featureset which offers advantages over earlier versions, including • Truly self healing mesh networking • Messages can now travel up to 30 hops • Source-Routing for improved point to multipoint message transmission • Improved security including Trust-Centre link keys • New message types and options The Telegesis AT Commandset, which by default ships on all ETRX3 series products is based on the ZigBee® PRO featureset. For more information on the Telegesis AT Commandset please refer to the separate documentation at www.telegesis.com.

ETRX351 and ETRX357 ©2010 Telegesis (UK) Ltd - 11 - ETRX35x Preliminary Product Manual 4 Hardware Description 24MHz EM35x I/O UART I / O programming 5 JTAG Vcc Vreg RESET RESET BALUN integrated antenna U.FL socket rf terminal selection, filtering and matching circuitry LDO 1V8 1,8Vdc A/D LDO 1V25 Figure 2: Hardware Diagram The ETRX351, ETRX351HR, ETRX357 and ETRX357HR are based on the Ember EM351 and EM357 respectively. The EM351 and EM357 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 3rd generation module to offer a longer battery life than any 2nd generation modules on the market. The EM35x has 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 EM351 or EM357 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 using the Telegesis AT Commandset please refer to the AT Commandset manual and the development kit manual for this information and when developing custom firmware please refer to the EM35x datasheet [2].
ETRX351 and ETRX357 ©2010 Telegesis (UK) Ltd - 12 - ETRX35x Preliminary Product Manual 5 Firmware Description The modules will be pre-loaded with a standalone bootloader which supports over-the-air bootloading as well as serial bootloading of new firmware. In order to enter the standalone bootloader using a hardware trigger pull PA5 to ground and power-cycle or reset the module. To avoid entering the standalone bootloader unintentionally make sure not to pull this pin down during boot-up unless the resistance to ground is >10kΩ. (A pull-up is not required). In addition to the standalone bootloader the modules also contain the current release of the Telegesis AT-style command interface as described in the Telegesis AT command dictionary and the Telegesis user guide. Check www.telegesis.com for updates. Each module comes with a unique 64-bit 802.15.4 identifier which is stored in non-volatile memory. The commands and responses pass through the serial port of the ETRX35x as ASCII text, so a simple terminal application will usually suffice. We provide Telegesis Terminal for interaction with the module but it is not an essential feature. The pre-loaded AT-style command interface firmware is based on the latest EmberZNet meshing stack which implements routers/coordinators as well as (sleepy) end devices. [End devices have no routing responsibility and therefore are allowed to go to sleep, whilst still being able to send and receive messages via a parent router. In addition to classical sleepy and non-sleepy end devices the module firmware also supports mobile (sleepy) end devices capable of changing their parent quickly whenever they change their position within the network.] A router is typically a mains powered device whilst a sleepy end device (SED) can be battery powered. The module is also able to act as a coordinator and Trust Centre through external host control. The AT style command line supplies all the tools required to set up and manage a ZigBee network by allowing easy access to the low-level functionality of the stack. The Telegesis firmware uses the meshing and self healing EmberZNet PRO stack to overcome many of the limitations of the tree network topology of the ZigBee® 2006 stack by using the ZigBee PRO featureset. The Telegesis firmware allows low-level access to physical parameters such as channel and power level. Parameters that define the functionality of the ETRX35x module and also allow standalone functionality are saved in non-volatile memory organised in so-called S-Registers. The SPI and I2C buses are not supported by the current firmware release, but can be used with custom firmware. 5.1 Custom Firmware For high volume customers the firmware can be customised on request. In addition to this the ETRX3 series of modules is an ideal platform for developing custom firmware. In order to develop custom firmware the Ember Insight toolchain is required.
ETRX351 and ETRX357 ©2010 Telegesis (UK) Ltd - 13 - ETRX35x Preliminary Product Manual 5.2 Software Interface Using the default firmware the ETRX35x is controlled using a simple AT-style command interface and (mostly) non-volatile S-Registers. In order to get a full listing of all the available AT-Commands, please refer to the AT command dictionary document which corresponds to the firmware revision you intend to use. In addition to the command dictionary there are user guides explaining the features of the firmware in more detail. If you need to find out which firmware resides on your module simply type “ATI” followed by a carriage return and you will be prompted with the module’s manufacturing information. The Development Kit manual describes how to upgrade the firmware either via a serial link or over the air.

There should be no components, tracks or copper planes in the keep-out area which should be as large as possible. When using the U.FL RF connector the keep-out area does not have to be obeyed. Note: The modules’ transmit/receive range will depend on the antenna used and also the housing of the finished product.

ETRX351 and ETRX357 ©2010 Telegesis (UK) Ltd - 25 - ETRX35x Preliminary Product Manual 14 Recommended Footprint In order to surface mount an ETRX3 series module, we recommend that you use pads which are 1mm wide and 1.2mm high. You must retain the keep-out zone shown in section 12, and ensure that this keep-out area is free of components, copper tracks and/or copper planes/layers. You must also ensure that there is no exposed copper on your layout which may contact with the backside of the ETRX3 series module. For best RF performance it is required to provide good ground connections to the ground pads of the module. It is recommended to use multiple vias between each ground pad and a solid ground plane to minimize inductivity in the ground path. Figure 9: Recommended Footprint The land pattern dimensions above serve as a guideline. We recommend that you use the same pad dimensions for the solder paste screen as you have for the copper pads. However these sizes and shapes may need to be varied depending on your soldering processes and your individual production standards. We recommend a paste screen thickness of 120µm to 150µm. Although the undersides of the ETRX3 series modules are fully coated, no exposed copper, such as uncovered through-hole vias, planes or tracks on your board component layer, should be located below the ETRX3 series module in order to avoid ‘shorts’. All ETRX3 series modules use a multilayer PCB containing an inner RF shielding ground plane, therefore there is no need to have an additional copper plane directly under the ETRX3 series module.
ETRX351 and ETRX357 ©2010 Telegesis (UK) Ltd - 26 - ETRX35x Preliminary Product Manual 14.1 Example carrier board Since the RF performance of the module with the on board antenna is strongly dependent on the proper location of the module on its carrier board, Figure 10 shows the reference carrier board which was used during testing by Telegesis. Figure 10. Reference Board For best performance it is recommended to locate the antenna towards the corner of the carrier board and to respect the recommended keep-out areas as described in section 11. Finally to provide a good reference ground to the on board antenna, the carrier board should have a ground plane spanning no less than 40 x 40mm. In many cases a smaller ground plane will suffice, but degradation in radio performance could be the result.
