The
U-Power500 module is an IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBeeTM compliant
solution that satisfies the requirements of low-power
and long-range wireless sensor applications. It
integrates UBEC’s UZ2400 2.4GHz transceiver with UBEC’s
power amplifier UP2268 to extend the transmitting and
the receiving distance at low current consumption. Both
the low current consumption and long distance capability
are especially suitable for battery-limited
applications. The module’s flexible and reliable
interface allows the users to develop configurations
appropriate for their applications.
The U-Power500 module, derived from UBEC’s U-Force
module, operates within the ISM 2.4 – 2.5 GHz frequency
band and contains UBEC’s UZ2400, UP2268 and other
necessary components such as crystal oscillator,
inductors and capacitors. The 802.15.4 compliant
transceiver within the UZ2400 chip features a maximum of
5 MHz serial interface SPI bus for control and data
transfer. It is a simple SPI interface slave device
consisting of a 4-wire bus (SCLK, SI, SO, and SEN) that
provide accesses to various subunits such as MAC/BB/RF
control/status registers, TXFIFOs, RXFIFOs and security
key table.
The UP2268 is an RF front-end IC integrating a
high-efficiency, linear power amplifier (PA), a switch
and a low noise amplifier (LNA). Its low current
consumption and inherent power gain enable the designers
to meet the challenges of the battery operation and long
distance requirements demanded by many applications. In
addition, the small module form factor (QFN3x3) saves
the valuable board space.
