A Fully-Integrated ZigBee-Compliant Platform from Renesas

Renesas Technology - the #1 supplier of microcontrollers worldwide, with years of experience in the metering, industrial control, and building automation markets - offers a fully integrated hardware and software platform for a wide range of low-data-rate wireless applications. The Renesas ZigBee System Solution provides a comprehensive platform for product developers. It comes complete with microcontroller, radio, ZigBee software stack, MAC software, and integrated development environment.

Using this platform, you gain from the speed and convenience of a fully-integrated, off-the-shelf solution for evaluating and developing ZigBee-compliant applications. The market-ready, high-performance ZigBee System Solution from Renesas reduces your overall development costs and shortens your system development time. It also allows you to make better use of valuable engineering resources, while providing the flexibility to accommodate existing and future application requirements.

The Renesas ZigBee System Solution includes:

Low-Power, High-Performance M16C Microcontrollers

  • Common architecture addresses the entire 8-bit through 32-bit price/performance application space
  • Multi-year battery performance lowers operating costs
  • Extensive RAM/ROM/Flash memory and peripheral combinations allow flexibility in application design
  • Best pin-to-pin and code-compatible platform minimizes re-engineering costs and development times for product variants and upgrades.
  • Unmatched EMI/EMS performance reduces BOM costs.

Standards-Based Radios

  • Full spectrum coverage with transceivers in 2.4GHz and 868/915MHz frequency bands (available from leading third-party providers) lets developers easily shift products design between different radios and frequencies.
  • Reference design with true ZigBee Stack and IEEE802.15.4 MAC software is fully tested and available from Renesas. Proven RF devices are available from third-party suppliers.

MAC Software

  • Complete IEEE 802.15.4 implementation was developed in-house by Renesas and has passed IEEE802.15.4 level 1 and level 2 certification.
  • Renesas has a complete lite-weight MAC for non-ZigBee 802.15.4 applications.

ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 Software Stack

  • Single-source, full software stack platform simplifies development and provides true ZigBee mesh networking. Software was developed in-house by Renesas.
  • Renesas ZigBee Software stack (v1.0 release 6) and IEEE802.15.4 MAC has passed ZigBee Compliant Platform certification (ZCP).
