Descriptive summary

Single chip 32-bit MCU and IEEE802.15.4 transceiver

These devices feature an enhanced 32-bit RISC processor offering high coding efficiency through variable width instructions, a multi-stage instruction pipeline and low-power operation with programmable clock speeds. They include a 2.4GHz IEEE802.15.4 compliant transceiver, 128kB of ROM, 128kB of RAM, and a rich mix of analog and digital peripherals. The large memory footprint allows the device to run both a network stack, e.g. ZigBee PRO, and an embedded application or in a co-processor mode. The operating current is below 18mA, allowing operation direct from a coin cell.

ZigBee PRO

ZigBee PRO is a network protocol stack defined by the ZigBee Alliance, designed for use in wireless sensor networks with extended requirements on reliability, network size and density, and security. The stack, in conjunction with NXP’s wireless microcontrollers and modules, provides a ZigBee Compliant Platform, the foundation for ZigBee certified products and multi vendor interoperable products.

JenNet

JenNet is a network protocol stack designed to work with NXP’s wireless microcontrollers and modules which integrate a 32-bit microcontroller, peripherals and a 2.4GHz IEEE802.15.4 compliant radio. JenNet allows wireless sensor networks, from simple point-to-point cable replacement to complex tree networks, to be easily built. JenNet supports star, tree and linear network topologies, and provides self-healing functionality for robust communication. Developed on the IEEE802.15.4 standard, which operates in the globally unlicensed ISM 2.4GHz band, JenNet co-exists with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
