Single-package ZigBee solution said to be a first

Freescale Semiconductor has demonstrated a SiP (system in a package) ZigBee solution at the Wireless Connectivity World in London that was held in May. The demonstration showcased a mesh network of ZigBee-enabled home interior lights, security and emergency sensors.

The MC1320X family includes three pin-compatible standalone 2,4 GHz RF transceivers with an integrated Tx/Rx switch on the silicon which provides a smaller board footprint. The MC1320X also provides customer flexibility by allowing the use of differential or single-ended antennas and easy integration of external LNAs and PAs for increased performance. These devices are compatible with Freescale's processors such as HCS08, HC12, Coldfire and Digital Signal Controllers.

The MC1321X family is designed to provide a high level of integration by combining the GT family HCS08 MCU and 2,4 GHz transceiver into a single 64-pin QFN package. This reduces the number of external components by 47% compared to previous Freescale product generations.

Three devices expected to be offered in this family - the MC13211, MC13212 and MC13213 - will vary by different memory configurations. Each planned device contains Freescale's low-voltage, low-power HCS08 core with features such as embedded FLASH, 10-bit ADC, and low-voltage and keyboard interrupts.

Both the MC1320X and MC1321X families support proprietary point-to-point and simple star networking as well as ZigBee-compliant networking using the Figure 8 Wireless Z-stack.
