The MeshConnect certified and qualified modules, enable customer to accelerate time to market by greatly reducing design and certification phases of development. CEL's MeshConnectTM radio modules leverage the advanced features of the MeshConnectTM Integrated Circuit (IC). The IC is a true single-chip solution, compliant with IEEE 802.15.4 specifications, a complete wireless solution for all applications. The IC consists of an RF transceiver with baseband modem, a hardwired MAC and an embedded 8051 microcontroller with internal Flash memory. The device provides numerous generalpurpose I/O pins, peripheral functions such as timers and UARTs and is one of the first devices to provide an embedded Voice CODEC. This device is also ideal for low power applications. The original MeshConnect module delivers excellent performance at a surprisingly low cost. The module's +6dBm output power means better range, more reliable transmission and fewer nodes in your network. It also makes these modules ideal for applications where cost and power constraints do not allow for external power amplifiers or peripheral range extension components. The MeshConnect Extended Range module adds a power amplifier (PA) and low noise amplifier (LNA) to increase range to over two miles - plus more reliable transmission and fewer nodes in your network. It is especially useful for open outdoor applications where the nodes are physically far apart, or for indoor use where the nodes have to operate in a noisy RF environment. The Extended Range Module's outstanding +123 dB budget link ensures high quality connections even in such harsh environments.

Combined with a highly sensitive -97 dBm receiver the MeshConnect IC leads the industry with 103 dB link budget. In addition to excellent RF performance at 250 kbps data rates, the IC adds high speed modes, Turbo (500 kbps) and Premium (1 Mbps), for networks looking for increased throughput. The device provides numerous general-purpose I/O pins, peripheral functions such as timers and UARTs and is one of the first devices to provide an embedded Voice CODEC. CEL provides its customers with the IEEE 802.15.4 stack as part of the software library. Also available are the hardware & software tools required to develop custom applications. The combination of industry leading link budget, high speed RF, and integrate voice CODEC make the IC a truly distinct single chip solution. The Extended Range module adds both an PA and LNA to maximize RF performance. The PA enable the Extended Range module to output up to +20 dBm transmit power. In the receive path the addition of the LNA boosts the already sensitive receiver up to -103 dBm. The Extended Range link budget boasts a very robust 123 dB enabling a line of sight range over 3 miles. Page 4 MeshConnectTM Module Series ANTENNA CEL's MeshConnect modules include an integrated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) trace antenna. An optional u.FL connector can be specified, providing connection to a 50-ohm external antenna of the user's choice. See Ordering Information on page 1. The PCB antenna employs an F-Antenna topology that is compact and supports an omni-directional radiation pattern. To maximize antenna efficiency, 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 F-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. Here 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 from the antenna in any direction. 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. 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. MODES OF OPERATION There are three power down modes in the IC. Each mode can be set using the PDMODE [1:0] bits in the PDCON register and power down modes can be started by setting the PDSTART bit to 1. Each mode has a different current consumption and wake-up sources, please refer to the IC datasheet for further information on the available power down modes. Table 8 describes the three power down modes. Table 8 - Power Down Modes PDMODE [1:0] Description Wake-Up Source Regulator for Digital block 0 Active (Normal Operation) - - 1 PM1 mode Hardware Reset, Sleep Timer interrupt, External interrupt ON 2 PM2 mode Hardware Reset, Sleep Timer interrupt, External interrupt OFF (After wake-up, register configuration is required) 3 PM3 mode Hardware Reset, External interrupt OFF (After wake-up, register configuration is required) Page 5 MeshConnectTM Module Series POWER AMPLIFIER The ZICM2410P0 MeshConnect module does not incorporate an external Power Amplifier and therefore the RF output port is connected directly (through matching components) to the RF antenna. As CEL's IC IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver already offers the industry's best link budget at 103 dB, even without an external PA the MeshConnect can maintain wireless connection over long distance (2,000 ft line-of-sight). The Extended Range module adds both an PA and LNA to maximize RF performance. The PA enable the Extended Range module to output up to +20 dBm transmit power. In the receive path the addition of the LNA boosts the already sensitive receiver up to -103 dBm. The Extended Range link budget boasts a very robust 123 dB enabling a line of sight range over 3 miles. INTERFACE The MeshConnect has all major communication interfaces routed from the IC to the module edge connectors: * UART1 & UART 2 * I2S * SPI VOICE CODEC The MeshConnect IC includes three voice codec algorithms: -law, a-law and ADPCM. The -law algorithm is a companding algorithm primarily used in the digital telecommunication systems of North America and Japan. As with other companding algorithms, its purpose is to reduce the dynamic range of an audio signal. In the analog domain this can increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) achieved during transmission and in the digital domain, it can reduce the quantization error (hence increasing signal to quantization noise ratio). These SNR improvements can be traded for reduced bandwidth and equivalent SNR instead. The a-law algorithm is a standard companding algorithm used in European digital communications systems to optimize/modify the dynamic range of an analog signal for digitizing. The a-law algorithm provides a slightly larger dynamic range than the -law at the cost of worse proportional distortion for small signals. Adaptive DPCM (ADPCM) is a variant of DPCM [Differential (or Delta) pulse-code modulation] that varies the size of the quantization step, allowing further reduction of the required bandwidth for a given signal-to-noise ratio. DPCM encodes the PCM values as differences between the current and the previous value. For audio applications this type of encoding reduces the number of bits required per sample by about 25% compared to PCM. SOFTWARE TOOLS CEL offers complete SW tools for MeshConnect that customers need to create their application. DEVICE PROGRAMMER * Device Programmer is used to program the application firmware to the on-chip Flash program memory of the IC device. * Device Programmer supports: * ISP Mode: Download the firmware from the host PC via serial communication through the IC's UART1 interface. * The evaluation boards utilize a USB -> Serial converter. * OTA Mode: Download the firmware from the host PC using wireless communication (Over-The-Air). * This requires two nodes, the host (connected to a PC) and the target device to be programmed.

Pb-Free Soldering Paste Use of "No Clean" soldering paste is strongly recommended, as it does not require cleaning after the soldering process. Note: The quality of solder joints on the castellations (`half vias') where they contact the host board should meet the appropriate IPC Specification. See IPC-A-610 "Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, section 8.2.4 Castellated Terminations." Cleaning In general, cleaning the populated modules 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" soldering 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. Page 13 MeshConnectTM Module Series PROCESSING (Continued) Hand Soldering Hand soldering is possible. Use a soldering iron temperature setting equivalent to 350C, follow IPC recommendations/ reference document IPC-7711. Rework The MeshConnect Module can be unsoldered from the host board. Use of a hot air rework tool and hot plate for pre-heating from underneath is recommended. Avoid overheating. Warning Never attempt a rework on the module itself, e.g. replacing individual components. Such actions will terminate warranty coverage. Additional Grounding Attempts to improve module or system grounding by soldering braids, wires, or cables onto the module RF shield cover is done at the customer's own risk. The numerous ground pins at the module perimeter should be sufficient for optimum immunity to external RF interference.
