5 Three Paths to ZigBee
6 What is Z-Accel and CC2480? Z-Accel is a ZigBee Network Processor that communicates with any MCU via an SPI or UART interface CC2480 is the first-generation ZigBee-compliant network processor in the Z-Accel family Z-Accel allows customers to work with their favorite MCUs Z-Accel provides complete ZigBee functionality without having to learn the complexities of a full ZigBee stack
7 Benefits Easy to add ZigBee to new or existing products Shorter product development time Flexibility to choose any host MCU Standard SPI or UART Interface ZigBee-compliant stack, Z-Stack™ SimpleAPI makes development easy Excellent selectivity & blocking performance Standardized, robust mesh network CC2480: ZigBee Network Processor Applications Home & building automation Industrial monitoring & control Asset tracking Low-power wireless sensor networks Set-top boxes, remote controls Automated meter reading Medical applications 7mm x 7mm QFN-48
8 SimpleAPI Z-Accel implements TI’s SimpleAPI (Applications Programming Interface) SimpleAPI has only 10 API calls to learn Very little code space needed on the application MCU – small application MCU can be used (4kB) SimpleAPI simplifies device configuration, binding of devices, sending and receiving data All the benefits of ZigBee with minimal ZigBee knowledge required Shorten development time and learning curve No need to read the ZigBee specification (ZigBee2006 specification is 534 pages)
9 eZ430-RF2480 Demonstration Kit USB or Battery Powered ZigBee Processor MSP430F2274 (backside) Evaluate Z-Accel today with comprehensive USB-based wireless development tool The eZ430-RF2480 Demo Kit: Allows fast evaluation of Z-Accel Interfaces an MSP430F2274 to the CC2480 Demonstrates the Simple API command interface Available now for only $99 (US$)
10 Tools: Packet Sniffer Packet Sniffer General packet sniffer available, runs on the dev kits Already supports SimpliciTI network protocol Packet sniffer can be used with all application examples, not just SimpliciTI The packet sniffer visualizes all RF traffic and content in a graphical format. Each packet receives a time stamp and RF protocol flow can be inspected in chronological order
