2. ZigBit Module Overview
2.1 Overview
The ATZB-RF-212B-0-CN ZigBit is a compact, low-power, high sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee OEM module. Based
on a solid combination of the latest Atmel MCU Wireless hardware platform, 900MHz ISM band transceiver and Atmel
Studio Wireless Composer - the ZigBit offers an unmatched combination of superior radio performance, ultra-low power
consumption and exceptional ease of integration.
Figure 2-1. ATZB-RF-212B-0-CN User Interface Diagram
This ZigBit module contains the Atmel AT86RF212B 900MHz ISM band Transceiver for ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 [1].
The compact all-in-one board design of Radio Transceiver with very minimal components on the RF path to Antenna
connector dramatically improves the ZigBit’s compact size, range performance on signal transmission and increases its
sensitivity. This ensures stable connectivity within a larger coverage area, and helps develop applications on smaller
footprint. The MS-147 connector [5] can be used as an RF Test port.
ZigBit Module contains a complete RF design with all the necessary passive components included. The module can be
easily mounted on a simple 2-layer PCB with a minimum of required external connection. The ZigBit Module Evaluation
kit containing the ZigBit Extension board for the Atmel Xplained PRO HW Evaluation platform can be used to develop
FW using the Atmel Studio and evaluate using the Wireless Composer. Compared to a custom RF/MCU solution, a
module-based solution offers considerable savings in development time and NRE cost per unit during the HW/FW
design, prototyping, and mass production phases of product development.
Depending on end-user design requirements, the ZigBit can operate as a sensor node, where it can be paired with a
host processor driving the module over a serial interface.

The MAC stack running on the host processor can then control data transmission. Thus very minimal firmware
customization is required for successful module design-in. Third-party sensors can then be connected directly to the
host MCU.
Every ZigBit Module come pre loaded with Atmel assigned 64-bit MAC address stored in the EEPROM built-in the
module. This unique IEEE MAC address can be used as the MAC address of the end product, so there is no need to
buy a MAC address separately for the product using the ZigBit.

3.4 Antenna Orientation Recommendation
The Antenna in this module is designed to provide the best possible LoS range in the direction indicated in this
illustration.
3.5 Mounting Information
Figure 3-1 shows the PCB pinout of a ZigBit module. Neither via-holes nor wires are allowed on the PCB upper layer in
the area occupied by the module. As a critical requirement, RF_GND pins should be grounded via several via-holes to
be located right next to the pins thus minimizing inductance and preventing both mismatch and losses.

The ZigBit Modules are fixed with an EMI Shield to ensure compliance to Emission and Immunity rules. This shield is
galvanic and NOT air tight. So cleaning of the module with IPA / other similar agents is not advised. Humidity protection
coating (conformal) will cause deviated RF behavior and coating material being trapped inside EMI Shield. So this
should be avoided. For products requiring conformal coating, it is advised to suitably mask the ZigBit before applying
the coating to rest of the ZigBit carrier board. To protect ZigBit from humidity, the housing of the product should ensure
suitable Ingress Protection standards are complied with.
The UFL RF connector should never be exposed to Varnish / similar conformal coating material which will affect
electrical connection on the surfaces of connector.
The in-built chip antenna has been tuned for the particular design.
4.2 General Recommendations
• Metal enclosure should not be used. Using low profile enclosure might also affect antenna tuning.
• Placing high profile components next to antenna should be avoided
• Having holes/vias punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board
edges also distorting antenna pattern
• ZigBit module should not be placed next to consumer electronics which might interfere with ZigBit's RF
frequency band

Note: 1. The MAC address stored inside the AT24MAC602 is a uniquely assigned ID for each ZigBit and owned
by Atmel. User of the ZigBit application can use this unique MAC ID to address the ZigBit in end-
applications. The MAC ID can be read from the ZigBit using the Performance Analyzer Application that
is supplied through Atmel Studio Gallery Extension.
ATZB-RF-212B-0-CN ZigBit contains AT24MAC602, which has a globally unique MAC address that can be assigned as
the physical address of a system hardware device or node. Persistence memory is stored in the first-half of the standard
2kbit EEPROM of AT24MAC602 starting from address 0x00.
Special commands are available to read the unique 64-bit MAC ID and the persistent memory via the I2C compatible (2-
wire) serial interface (see section “Device Addressing” in AT24MAC602 [4] for details).
