DNT90 Hardware

The major components of the DNT90 include a Murata

TRC103 900 MHz FHSS transceiver, and a low current 8-

bit microcontroller. The DNT90 operates in the 902 to 928

MHz ISM band. There are three selectable hopping

patterns providing compatibility with frequency allocations

in North America, South America and Australia. The

DNT90 also has two selectable RF output power levels:

+16 dBm (40 mW) and +22 dBm (158 mW).

The DNT90 receiver is protected by a low-loss SAW filter,

providing an excellent blend of receiver sensitivity and

out-of-band interference rejection that is especially impor-

tant in outdoor applications.

The DNT90 provides a variety of hardware interfaces.

There are two serial ports plus one SPI port. Either the pri-

mary serial port or the SPI port can be selected for data

communications. The second serial port is dedicated to di-

agnostics. The primary and diagnostic serial ports support

most standard baud rates up to 250 kbps. The SPI port

supports data rates up to 500 kbps. The DNT90 also in-

cludes three ADC inputs, two DAC outputs, and six gen-

eral-purpose digital I/O ports. Four of the digital I/O ports

support an optional interrupt-from-sleep mode when con-

figured as inputs. The radio is available in two mounting

configurations. The DNT90C is designed for solder reflow

mounting. The DNT90P is designed for plug-in

connector mounting.

DNT90 Firmware

DNT90 firmware operates using hybrid Ad Hoc TDMA

channel access optimized for periodic burst transmissions.

DNT90 firmware operates “out of the box” using point-to-

point transparent serial mode, with point-to-multipoint,

peer-to-peer and store & forward system topologies also

supported.

DNT90 firmware provides the user with a rich set of config-

uration options including a choice of hopping patterns,

hopping dwell times, serial and/or SPI data port operation,

serial and SPI data rate selection, RF output power selec-

tion, plus configurable analog and digital I/O lines. Data

integrity is protected by 24-bit error detection, with optional

ACK and automatic transmission retries or redundant

transmissions. 128-bit AES encryption provides a high

level of data security for sensitive applications. Sensor net-

works can take advantage of timer or event-based data

reporting and remote node sleep cycling for extended bat-

tery life.

Pin Name I/O Description

1GND - Power supply and signal ground. Connect to the host circuit board ground.

2ACT

(DIAG_TX)

(O)

This pin’s default configuration is data activity output. On a base, this signal blinks when a valid packet is

received. On a remote, this signal blinks when a packet is transmitted. On a router, this signal blinks when

a valid upstream packet is received or a downstream packet is transmitted. Alternate pin function is the di-

agnostic serial port output.

3/DCD

(DIAG_RX)

(I)

This pin’s default configuration is data carrier detect output. On a base, this signal is asserted when any

valid packet is received, and is cleared if no packets are heard for the configured router/remote registra-

tion time-out interval. On a router or remote, this signal is asserted when the radio obtains hopping pattern

synchronization, and remains asserted until no beacons are heard for 50 hops. Alternate pin function is

the diagnostic serial port input.

4GPIO0 I/O

Configurable digital I/O port 0. When configured as an input, an internal pull-up resistor can be selected

and direct interrupt from sleep can be invoked. When configured as an output, the power-on state is

configurable. In sleep mode the pin direction, input pull-up selection or output state are also separately

configurable.

5 RADIO_TXD O Serial data output from the radio.

6RADIO_RXD I Serial data input to the radio.

7GPOI4

(/HOST_CTS)

I/O

(O)

Default pin function is GPIO4 with the same configuration options as GPIO2. Alternate pin function is

UART/SPI flow control output. The module sets this line low when it is ready to accept data from the host

on the RADIO_RXD or MOSI input. When the line goes high, the host must stop sending data.

8GPOI5

(/HOST_RTS)

I/O

(I)

Default pin function is GPIO5 with the same configuration options as GPIO2. Alternate pin function is

UART/SPI flow control input. The host sets this line low to allow data to flow from the module on

the RADIO_TXD pin. When the host sets this line high, the module will stop sending data to the host.

9DAC0 O 12-bit DAC 0 output. Full scale output can be referenced to the voltage at pin 25 or the 3.3 V regulated

module bus voltage.

10 GPIO2 I/O Configurable digital I/O port 2. Same configuration options as GPIO0.

11 GPIO1 I/O Configurable digital I/O port 1. Same configuration options as GPIO0.

12 GPIO3

(DAV)

I/O

(O)

Default pin function is GPIO3 with the same configuration options as GPIO0. When SPI slave mode oper-

ation is enabled, a logic high on this pin indicates when data is available to be clocked out by the SPI

master.

13 DAC1 O 12-bit DAC 1 output. Same specifications and configuration options as DAC0.

14 VCC I Power supply input, +3.3 to +5.5 Vdc.

15 GND -Power supply and signal ground. Connect to the host circuit board ground.

16 GND -Power supply and signal ground. Connect to the host circuit board ground.

17 /RESET I Active low module hardware reset.

18 ADC0 I

ADC input 0. This pin is a direct ADC input when the ADC is operating in single-ended mode, or the differ-

ential negative input for positive inputs applied to ADC1 or ADC2 when the ADC is operating in differential

mode. Full-scale reading can be referenced to Pin 25 for ratiometric measurements. For absolute mea-

surements, the ADC can use the regulated supply voltage divided by 1.6 (about 2.06 V), or an external

voltage applied to Pin 25. In single-ended mode, ADC measurements are 11-bit unsigned values with full

scale nominally 2.7 V when referenced to a 2.7 V input on Pin 27. In differential mode, ADC measure-

ments are 12-bit signed values.

19 ADC1 IADC input 1. Direct input when the ADC is operating in single-ended mode, positive differential input rela-

tive to ADC0 when the ADC is operating in differential mode.

20 MISO I/O This pin is the SPI master mode input or slave mode output.

21 MOSI I/O This pin is the SPI master mode output or slave mode input.

22 /SS I/O SPI active low slave select. This pin is an output when the module is operating as a master, and an input

when it is operating as a slave.

Pin Name I/O Description

23 SCLK I/O SPI clock signal. This pin is an output when operating as a master, and an input when operating as

a slave.

24 ADC2 IADC input 2. Direct input when the ADC is operating in single-ended mode, positive differential input rela-

tive to ADC0 when the ADC is operating in differential mode.

25 ADC_EXT_

REF I/O

ADC external reference voltage pin. The voltage at this pin can be used by the ADCs as a reference for

ratiometric measurements. With no external voltage or load applied, this pin presents a nominal 2.7 V out-

put through a 2.126 K source resistance. A low impedance external reference voltage in the range of 1 to

2.7 V may be applied to this pin as an option.

26 RSVD -Reserved pin. Leave unconnected.

27 RSVD -Reserved pin. Leave unconnected.

28 GND -Connect to the host circuit board ground plane.

29 RSVD -Reserved pin. Leave unconnected.

30 GND - Connect to the host circuit board ground plane.

DNT90 Antenna Connector

A U.FL miniature coaxial connector is provided on both DNT90 configurations for connection to the RFIO port. A

short U.FL coaxial cable can be used to connect the RFIO port directly to an antenna. In this case the antenna

should be mounted firmly to avoid stressing the U.FL coaxial cable due to antenna mounting flexure. Alternately,

a U.FL coaxial jumper cable can be used to connect the DNT90 module to a U.FL connector on the host circuit

board. The connection between the host circuit board U.FL connector and the antenna or antenna connector on

the host circuit board should be implemented as a 50 ohm stripline. Referring to Figure 2, the width of this stripline

depends on the thickness of the circuit board between the stripline and the groundplane. For FR-4 type circuit

board materials (dielectric constant of 4.7), the width of the stripline is equal to 1.75 times the thickness of the cir-

cuit board. Note that other circuit board traces should be spaced away from the stripline to prevent signal cou-

pling, as shown in Figure 3. The stripline trace should be kept short to minimize its insertion loss.
