Single-package ZigBee solution said to be a first

16 November 2005 Electronics Technology

Freescale Semiconductor demonstrated a SiP (system in a package) ZigBee solution at the Wireless Connectivity World in London 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. Combining the HCS08 MCU and 2,4 GHz transceiver into a single 64-pin QFN package reduces the number of external components by 47% compared to previous Freescale product generations.
