Speakercraft RF Module
DATASHEET
ZigBee Ready Module
1 Product Description
The L5 Research Speakercraft RF module is a 2.4 GHz 802.154 data transceiver providing a
cost-effective solution for data links and wireless networks. The module is based on the Ember
EM250 802.15.4/Zigbee platform and supports point to point, point to multi-point, and
EmberZNet applications. It provides a true Zigbee module combining on IEEE 802.154
compliant radio transceiver with a 16-bit microprocessor.
The Speakercraft RF module utilizes a lOOmW power amplifier, providing for enhanced
range performance over standard 802.15.4/Zigbee implementations. The module offers a
standard integrated PCB trace antenna. Alternatively, the module has the option to be
populated with an MMCX connector for use with an external cabled antenna.
The Speakercraft RF module provides a low cost, best in class performance ZigBee Radio
Transceiver, in a compact form factor.

8 Power Amplifier Regulator Control Line
The Speakercraft RF module includes a separate 1.8V regulator for the power amplifier bias
to enable the consistent module output performance over the wide Vdd voltage range of 2,1
— 3.6 volts. To prevent excessive sleep currents, this regulator needs to be disabled when the
module is put into sleep mode.
The following table provides the specifications for the regulator enable control line.
GPIO7
Parameter I Min Typ Max Unit
Regulator enable voltage 0.95 V
Regulator disable voltage 044 V
Enable line current (VEN = 0) 0.1 |JA
Enable line current (VEN 1 Vdd) 10 “A
Turn on Time 250 |Jsec
On the Speakercraft RF module, the regulator control line is brought to the module ports via
GPIO7. The host can drive this part, but alternatively, the EM250 can use the default serial
digital function of GPIO7 which is as an external voltage regulator enable. P ease consult the
EM250 datasheet for details on the operation of this function. Note that both approaches
preclude the use of the GPIO7 port for any other possible functions including the use as the
ADC3 input.
If the application does not put the module to sleep or if sleep current is not an issue, the
power amplifier regulator may be permanently enabled by tying the control line high In this
setup, the sleep current will increase by SOpA over the value provided in section 5.2

9 Antenna
The Speakercraft RF module includes an integrated PCB trace antenna. An optional
configuration with an MMCX connector is also available. This will enable the connection to a
50-ohm external antenna of the user's choice.
The integrated PCB antenna topology is an F»antenna. This antenna is used because it is
reasonably compact, has a fairly omni-directional radiation pattern, good efficiency, and is
very simple. An adequate ground plane is necessary to provide good efficiency. The ground
plane of the host board on which the module is mounted increases the effective antenna
ground plane size and improves the antenna performance if done per the guidelines provided
in this datasheet.
The antenna radiation patterns are dependent upon the host board the Speakercraft RF
module is mounted on. Measured radiation patterns of the module alone are available by
contacting LS Research.
The environment the module is placed in will dictate the range performance. The non-ideal
characteristics of the transmission channel result in the transmitted signal producing reflection,
diffraction, and/or scattering. All of these factors randomly combine to create extremely
complex scenarios.
It is also best to keep some clearance between the antenna and nearby obiects. This includes
how the module is mounted in the product enclosure. Unless the items on the following list of
recommendations are met, the radiation pattern can be heavily distorted.
Never place ground plane or copper trace routing underneath the antenna.
Never place the antenna very close to metallic objects.
In the final product, ensure that any wiring or other components do not get too close to
the antenna.
0 The antenna will need a reasonable ground plane area on the mother board area to
be efficient.
Do not use a metallic enclosure or metallized plastic for the antenna.
Try to keep any plastic enclosure greater than 1 cm from the antenna in any
orientation.

1] Mounting considerations
The recommended footprint for the Speakercraft RF module is for it to be mounted so the
antenna is overhanging the board edge. This will provide the best antenna performance for
the PCB trace antenna. It is also recommended to have a ground plane on the host board
underneath the rest of the module, up to the recommended PCB edge. This will only improve
the antenna performance by increasing the overall ground plane.
Traces can be run underneath the module on the host PCB as long a there is an uninterrupted
ground plane on one layer as well. LS Research will provide any guidance and help with the
host PCB layout.
