U-Power500 Module

                                                                                                                                      

Product Description

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.
