R41Z Module for Thread and Bluetooth 4.2 LE
The R41Z Module from Rigado is a highly-integrated, ultra-low power
module that enables Bluetooth Low Energy and IEEE 802.15.4
connectivity based on the Kinetis KW41Z SoC from NXP
Semiconductors. With and ARM® Cortex™ M0+ processor, embedded
2.4GHz transceiver supporting FSK/GFSK and O-QPSK modulations, and
integrated antenna, the R41Z provides a complete RF solution with no
additional RF design allowing faster time to market. Equipped with the
ability to concurrently communicate over Bluetooth and Thread
connections, the R41Z offers an unprecedented level of connectivity in
a single module. With an internal DC-DC Converter and a wide supply
voltage range of 0.9V to 4.2V, the R41Z can be directly powered by
sources ranging from single alkaline cells to lithium polymer batteries.

Note 1: In Boost mode a minimum of 1.1V is required to start the DCDC converter. Once started, the

Table 6 - Operating Conditions
7.3 DCDC Converter Operation
The R41Z module contains an integrated DCDC converter which allows for three modes of operation
without additional components. When operating in DCDC Buck mode, power consumption from using
the radio can be reduced compared to DCDC Bypass mode. DCDC Boost mode allows the use of a single
alkaline or other low voltage source. While it is possible to switch between these modes in a single
design, for example the R41Z Evaluation Board, it is not recommended to switch between modes while
power is applied.

Note 1: In Buck mode PSWITCH can inhibit the DCDC converter from starting when the source voltage is
applied. When PSWITCH is connected to the source voltage, the DCDC converter will start. Once started,
PSWITCH can be reconnected to GND without disrupting the DCDC converter’s operation.
Note 2: V1P8 is the R41Z’s IO voltage when the DCDC converter is running in either Buck or Boost mode.
V1P8 can source a limited number or additional peripheral devices (sensors, LEDs, etc.) that connect
directly to the R41Z’s IO. In Buck mode, V1P8 cannot output a voltage greater than the source voltage

When using Boost Mode care should be taken to ensure that DCDC_LP (Pin 26) is connected to VCC (Pin
25) with a trace wide enough to carry the full current expected to be drawn from the R41Z module and
any peripherals sourced by the module. The connection should also be as short as possible.

7.4 General Purpose I/O and ports
The general purpose I/O is organized as three ports (A, B, and C) that enable access and control to each
of the 25 available GPIO pins. Each GPIO can be configured individually through a Pin Control Register
(PCR) and Port Data Direction Register (PDDR) with the following available features:








Input/Output direction
Output drive strength
Internal pull-up and pull-down resistors
Trigger interrupts and/or DMA from input
Read and clear interrupt flags
Enable passive input filter
Fast/slow slew rate selection
Control pin muxing to internal modules
To use a pin as GPIO set the Pin Mux Control field of the pin to ALT1 in the PCR. Ports must have their
clock source enabled in the System Clock Gating Control Register 5 (SIM_SCGC5) before accessing any
port registers. Attempting to access port registers without the port clock enabled will cause program
execution to immediately vector to the default exception handler. Disabling the clock to ports that are
not being used will reduce power consumption. Ports should be disabled before turning off the clock.

7.5.2 VDDA and VREF
The source voltage for the analog sub-system, VDDA, is supplied by V1P8 through a filtering circuit
onboard the R41Z module. The voltage reference pin, VREF, has two sourcing options: internal and
external. When externally supplied, VREF should be referenced to VDDA. Internal sourcing is provided
by a resistor trimmed circuit. For details on using the analog modules, see the MKW41Z512 data sheet.

7.6 Module Reset
Pin 17, PTA2, is used as an external reset source by default. This pin can be used for other functions,
such as GPIO, by setting the RESET_PIN_CFG option bit of the FTFA_FPORT register to 0. The setting of
this bit is retained through system resets and low power modes.
7.7 Debug and Programming
The R41Z module supports the two pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface and offers flexible and
powerful mechanisms for non-intrusive debugging of program code. Breakpoints, single stepping, and
instruction trace capture of code execution flow are part of this support. The R41Z also supports Micro
Trace Buffer (MTB) which provides a lightweight program trace capabilities using system RAM. SWD pins
can be repurposed as additional GPIO by the application.
7.8 Clocks
The R41Z requires two clocks: a high frequency clock and a low frequency clock.
The high frequency clock is provided on-module by a high accuracy 32-MHz crystal which is required for
Real Time Clock (RTC) and radio DeepSleep Mode (DSM) operation. In most applications, an external
crystal oscillator is required to provide the low frequency clock.
For normal run modes, an internal oscillator can provide the low frequency clock. However, to maintain
radio functionality in reduced power modes an external crystal must be used.
For most applications using the low frequency clock, external capacitors are not required. Internal,
programmable capacitors are provided on the R41Z module. In applications that use Rigado provided
firmware, use the typical specifications listed below.
An external clock source can be used in place of a crystal. In this case, the clock source should be
connected to the EXTAL32K pin (PTB16). XTAL23K (PTB17) should be left unconnected.

8. Firmware
8.1 Factory Image
All modules are shipped with factory programmed firmware. The
factory programmed firmware version is indicated on the label.
8.1.1 Firmware Version ‘00’
R41Z modules marked with firmware version ‘00’ are not loaded with a firmware image at the factory.
Note: when the R41Z does not have a firmware image loaded that can be executed out of POR, the R41Z
module will re-assert POR.
8.2 Mac Address Info
On R41Z modules, the MAC address is typically located in flash as part of the firmware image and is
typically accessed as a global constant. Rigado provides a unique MAC address which may be used in an
end application. The MAC address is printed on a 2D barcode and human readable text on the top of the
module.

Figure 9 - R41Z MAC Address on Label
When loading custom firmware to the module, the MAC address must be inserted into the image. This
can be done manually using the human readable text or automated using a barcode scanner and
suitable factory programmer tools. When loading a new application to the module care should be taken
to ensure the Rigado bootloader (if used) and MAC address are not overwritten.

11. RF Design Notes
11.1 Recommended RF layout and Ground Plane
The integrated antenna on the R41Z module requires a suitable ground plane to radiate effectively. The
module antenna has been tuned for having a PCB directly below with no copper or any other metal
present. The module should be placed at the edge of the PCB with the antenna edge facing out. For best
performance, the ground plane should be on the same layer as the module or as close as possible. If this
is not possible in a design, ground planes on multiple layers generously connected with vias may also be
used. Reduced ground plane size will result in reduced radio performance.
Figure 13 - R41Z RF Example Based on EVAL Board
11.2 Mechanical Enclosure
Care should be taken when designing and placing the module into an enclosure. Metal should be kept
clear from the antenna area, both above and below. Any metal around the module can decrease RF
performance.
The module is designed and tuned to be in free air. Any potting, epoxy fill, plastic over-molding, or
conformal coating can negatively impact RF performance and must be evaluated by the customer. If
potting must be used, the compound should have a low dielectric constant and should be designed for
use with 2.4GHz RF electronics.
