Microchip Technology, a member of the ZigBee alliance, recently announced the PICDEM Z 2,4 GHz Demonstration Kit that supports the ZigBee standard protocol for wirelessly networked control and monitoring applications.
Microchip's PICDEM Z 2,4 GHz Demonstration Kit is an easy-to-use evaluation and development platform for ZigBee application designers. The kit includes all of the hardware, software source-code (including free software stack) and PCB layout files needed to rapidly prototype wireless products. A detailed application note is available on Microchip's website at www.microchip.com/zigbee. This development platform is based on Microchip's PIC18 high-performance 8-bit microcontroller family, which supports ZigBee applications with a selection of over 30 products with 32 Kbytes to 128 Kbytes of Flash program memory in 28- to 80-pin packages.
The PICDEM Z platform uses the PIC18LF4620 microcontroller with integrated nanoWatt technology power-managed modes, 64 Kbytes of self-programmable Flash program memory, and advanced analog, control and communications peripherals. The platform also incorporates Chipcon's CC2420 2,4 GHz RF transceiver.
The PICDEM Z platform and ZigBee software stack is supported by the company's MPLAB development tools, including the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and MPLAB C18 C Compiler.
The demo kit includes two motherboards, two RF cards, and a CD containing the ZigBee protocol software and a PCB layout database.
