HCTAG OEM Device OverviewThe HCTAG device is an IEEE 802.15.4, low-power, highly-reliable solution toembedded wireless control and monitoring network needs that require high data rates.The HCTAG embeds Synapse’s SNAP OS, the industry’s first Internet-enabled,wireless mesh network operating system into the Atmel ATmega128RFA1 single-chipAVR® microcontroller with an integrated transceiver that delivers up to 2Mbits/sec. Thislow-power TAG is intended to be used in Real Time Location Systems using RFtechnologies with power consumptions as low as 1.0 μA to enable a new generation of battery-driven systems.SNAP’s on-board Python interpreter provides for rapid application development andover-the-air programming, while Atmel’s low-power RF single-chip design saves boardspace and lowers the overall Bill of Materials and power consumption. The HCTAG isapproved as an FCC Part 15 unlicensed modular transmitters. The modules provide upto 16 channels of operation in the ISM 2.4GHz frequency band. The HCTAG device isintended to be a low-power transmitter with a low duty cycle (<14%) operation that canbe worn on the body by the user.This Data Sheet details Part Number HCTAG:•128k flash, 58.5k free for over-the-air uploaded user apps•One UART port (not externally accessible) for control or transparent data, whichsurmounts noisy environments• Low power modes: 1.0 μA with internal timer running •Spread spectrum (DSSS) technology•Up to 2 Mbps Data Rate•2.4 GHz RF Frequency•Receive Mode (7 dBm) standard•Transmit Mode (2-3 dBm) for good low-power range•HCTAG: Serpentine F-Antenna

These limits are designed to providereasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installedand used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radiocommunications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in aparticular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, whichcan be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try tocorrect the interference by one or more of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which thereceiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.RF Exposure Warning:“This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for anuncontrolled environment. This equipment is in direct contact with the body of the userunder normal operating conditions. This transmitter must not be co-located or operatingin conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
