embit EMB-Z2530PA/UL, 2.4 GHz ZigBee-ready and 802.15.4-ready module with u.Fl connector
This is a 2.4 GHz low-power wireless module capable of operating in 802.15.4 or ZigBee networks as a coordinator, router or end device. The module features an integrated PA and LNA that increase the link budget and thus increase the communication range. An integrated u.FL connector allows for connection to an external antenna.
Notable features include:
- Output power up to +20 dBm (100 mW)
- RF sensitivity up to -100 dBm
- Integrated uFL connector (for PCB antenna option, see EMB-Z2530PA/IA)
- Open platform
The EMB-Z2530PA modules ship programmed with EBI-802.15.4 which allows the customer to use the modules as a simple, ready-to-use modem (using AT-like commands over UART; see EBI protocol page for more information).
The evaluation kit EMB-Z2530PA-EVK is strongly suggested to customers willing to develop their own firmware applications, since the kit provides all hardware tools required to download a custom firmware on the module. The IDE to be used depends on the chosen firmware stack. IAR Embedded Workbench is usually employed when working with the Z-Stack or TIMAC stacks.
