Integrating RF and baseband/MAC functions, the UZ2400 provides a serial peripheral interface (SPI) and can be controlled by a microprocessor for use in low data rate, low-power applications such as home automation, industrial control, automatic meter reading, PC peripherals, toys, and home appliances.

Featuring -95 dBm sensitivity and a -15 dBm maximum input level, the UZ2400 is a ZigBee(TM)-ready chip that integrates all 802.15.4 MAC timing critical controls such as the CSMA/CA algorithm, a beacon timer, and a sleeper timer. This reduces processing power requirements, allowing designers more flexibility in choosing an external microprocessor. The IC supports all seven AES security modes and features an integrated VCO, PLL filter, voltage regulator, and RF T/R switch.

Housed in a 48-pin, 7x7 mm2 QFN package, the UZ2400 is designed to reduce BOM component counts. High-performance reference boards with on-board microprocessor and software development kit available upon request.
