Freescale Semiconductor introduced a single-chip platform solution based on the ZigBee specification, designed to deliver the industry's lowest power consumption and highest performance. The MC1322x platform is engineered to support battery life of up to 20 years, doubling the expectations for current ZigBee solutions.
Freescale's MC1322x is available in a platform in package (PiP) solution that integrates the essential components of a ZigBee application within a single package, thereby reducing component count and system cost. The MC1322x platform contains a 32-bit microcontroller (MCU), a fully compliant IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver, balun and RF matching components - all integrated into a small-footprint land-grid array (LGA) package that virtually eliminates the need for external RF components. The platform solution also features a TurboLink technology mode, engineered to increase data rates by up to 2 megabits per second between nodes.
Optimised for Lithium-ion or NiCad batteries, the MC1322x is designed to support batteries as small as coin cells or use standard alkaline batteries that can provide up to 20 years of system life.
