Original Press Release:
CEL Introduces Fully-Integrated RF Transceiver System-on-Chip for ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 Applications
Santa Clara, CA - June 23, 2008 - CEL has added a line of new, fully-integrated ZigBee transceiver ICs to its family of IEEE 802.15.4 solutions. The ZIC2410 Series combines a powerful, ZigBee-compliant RF transceiver with an industry-workhorse, 8051-based 8-bit microprocessor. Available in a choice of packages, these low cost, System-on-Chip solutions help simplify radio designs, shrink their size, lower power consumption, and reduce overall system cost.
At +8 dBm, the ZIC2410 delivers the industry's leading output power. Combined with excellent -98 dBm receiver sensitivity, the ZIC2410 delivers a best-in-class link budget of 106 dB. The high sensitivity ensures immunity to interference from other 2.4GHz transmissions, while the high output power and link budget can eliminate the need for power amplifiers and peripheral range extension components.
The low power, high performance 8-bit 8051-based MCU offers a robust set of peripherals which help eliminate the need for additional external components. These include an onboard a-law/µ-law audio CODEC with ADPCM support that, combined with an I2S interface, enables the ZIC2410 to transmit voice data.
Features and specifications include:
Tx/Rx Frequency 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz
Package: QN48 or VFBGA72
Operating Voltage 1.5 - 3.3 V
Max output power +8 dBm
Sensitivity -98 dBm
Data rate 250K/500K/1Mbps
