The IC incorporates a RF transceiver with baseband modem, a hardwired MAC and an embedded ARM (R) Cortex TM-M3 microcontroller, offering an excellent low cost, high performance solution for all IEEE 802.15.4 /ZigBee applications. For more information about the EM35x IC, visit www.silabs.com. ANTENNA CEL's MeshConnect EM35x Mini Modules include an integrated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) trace antenna. An optional configuration which uses a castellation pin on the module allows the user to connect an external antenna. The ZICM35xSP0 has been certified with the PCB trace antenna only while the ZICM35xSP2 has been certified with the PCB trace antenna and a Nearson half-wave dipole antenna (part number: S181AH-2450S) on a 4 inch cable using the castellation pin of the module. Please refer to the document ZICM35xSP2-1C External Antenna Implementation for details describing the requirements that must be followed to take advantage of the CEL certification. See Ordering Information on Page 3. The PCB antenna employs a topology that is compact and highly efficient. To maximize range, an adequate ground plane must be provided on the host PCB. Correctly positioned, the ground plane on the host PCB will contribute significantly to the antenna performance (it should not be directly under the module PCB Antenna). The position of the module on the host board and overall design of the product enclosure contribute to antenna performance. Poor design affects radiation patterns and can result in reflection, diffraction and/or scattering of the transmitted signal. For optimum antenna performance, the MeshConnect Modules should be mounted with the PCB trace antenna overhanging the edge of the host board. To further improve performance, a ground plane may be placed on the host board under the module, up to the antenna (a minimum of 1.5" x 1.5" is recommended). The installation of an uninterrupted ground plane on a layer directly beneath the module will also allow you to run traces under this layer. CEL can provide assistance with your PCB layout. The following are some design guidelines to help ensure antenna performance: * * * * * Never place the ground plane or route copper traces directly underneath the antenna portion of the module Never place the antenna close to metallic objects In the overall design, ensure that wiring and other components are not placed near the antenna Do not place the antenna in a metallic or metalized plastic enclosure Keep plastic enclosures 1cm or more away from the antenna in any direction Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformement a la reglementation d'Industrie Canada, le present emetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inferieur) approuve pour l'emetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de reduire les risques de brouillage radioelectrique a l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnee equivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne depasse pas l'intensite necessaire a l'etablissement d'une communication satisfaisante. POWER AMPLIFIER CEL's MeshConnect EM35x High Power Mini Module (ZICM35xSP2) includes a Power Amplifier (PA). This PA delivers high efficiency, high gain and high output power (Pout = +20.0 dBm typical) to provide an extended range and reliable transmission for fewer nodes in a network. For the ZICM35xSP2, Power Mode 2 with Power Setting -2 is the maximum setting allowed for FCC Compliance. Operating in Power Mode 3 at higher power settings may damage the PA.

For more information, refer to the EM35x SoC Datasheet link provided in the References Section of this document. SOFTWARE /FIRMWARE CEL's MeshConnect EM35x Mini Modules are ideal platforms for EmberZNet PRO, the industry's most deployed and field proven ZigBee compliant stack supporting the ZigBee PRO feature set. EmberZNet PRO is a complete ZigBee protocol software package containing all the elements required for mesh networking applications. For more information regarding the software development for this IC, visit www.silabs.com. CEL provides reference software that runs multiple functions and executes various commands. For example, users can set up a simple ZigBee network to perform Range and Packet Error Rate (PER) tests between two devices. This allows the user to evaluate the module's RF performance in their own environment. The software can also place the module in various operating modes which allows for testing of low-level RF performance, GPIO functionality, etc. The ZICM35xSP0 Module uses the transceiver's primary RF ports for transmitting and should use Power Mode 1 (EMBER_TX_POWER_MODE_BOOST in the EmberZNet API). The ZICM35xSP2 Module uses the transceiver's alternate RF ports for transmitting and should use Power Mode 2 (EMBER_TX_POWER_MODE_ALTERNATE in the EmberZNet API). GPIO PC5 must also be configured as ALT_OUT (push /pull).

Note: The quality of solder joints on the castellations ("half vias") where they contact the host board should meet the appropriate IPC Specification. See the Castellated Terminations Section in the latest IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies document. Cleaning In general, cleaning the populated module is strongly discouraged. Residuals under the module cannot be easily removed with any cleaning process. * * * Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host board and the module. The combination of soldering flux residuals and encapsulated water could lead to short circuits between neighboring pads. Water could also damage any stickers or labels. Cleaning with alcohol or a similar organic solvent will likely flood soldering flux residuals into the two housings, which is not accessible for post-washing inspection. The solvent could also damage any stickers or labels. Ultrasonic cleaning could damage the module permanently. The best approach is to consider using a "No Clean" solder paste and eliminate the post-soldering cleaning step. Optical Inspection After soldering the module to the host board, consider optical inspection to check the following: * Proper alignment and centering of the module over the pads * Proper solder joints on all pads * Excessive solder or contacts to neighboring pads or vias Repeating Reflow Soldering Only a single reflow soldering process is encouraged for host boards. Wave Soldering If a wave soldering process is required on the host boards due to the presence of leaded components, only a single wave soldering process is encouraged. Hand Soldering Hand soldering is possible. When using a soldering iron, follow IPC recommendations (reference document IPC-7711). This document is subject to change without notice Document No: 0011-00-07-01-000 (Issue E) Page 13 EM35x Mini Modules Rework The MeshConnect Module can be unsoldered from the host board. Use of a hot air rework tool should be programmable and the solder joint and module should not exceed the maximum peak reflow temperature of 250 C. Caution If temperature ramps exceed the reflow temperature profile, module and component damage may occur due to thermal shock. Avoid overheating. Warning Never attempt a rework on the module itself (i.e., replacing individual components); such actions will terminate warranty coverage. Additional Grounding Attempts to improve the module or the system grounding by soldering braids, wires or cables onto the module RF shield cover is done at the customer's own risk. The ground pins at the module perimeter should be sufficient for optimum immunity to external RF interference.
