DK-EM2-2520Z Datasheet PDF - TI

The Stellaris® 2.4 GHz ZigBee Wireless Networking Kit from Texas Instruments provides a low-power RF network solution for customers" end equipment. The solution combines TI"s Z-Stack implementation of the ZigBee and ZigBee Pro protocols with the new Stellaris EM2 expansion board and the Chipcon 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 evaluation module along with the full suite of tools an engineer needs to develop and prototype ZigBee applications with Stellaris. The DK-EM2-2520Z wireless kit works with our most popular Stellaris microcontroller development kit, the DK-LM3S9B96 (sold separately).

●ZigBee software is aimed at addressing the market need for a cost-effective, standards-based wireless networking solution that supports low data-rates, low-power consumption, security, and reliability. Such networks typically contain a large number of battery-operated devices networked through an array of routers that report data to a central coordinator. This includes applications in markets such as remote monitoring and control and sensor networking.

●The Stellaris® ZigBee solution allows software application developers to become familiar with the operation of the CC2520EMK evaluation module using their Texas Instruments" Stellaris embedded microcontroller platform without having to be concerned about the RF portion of the system. The Stellaris EM2 expansion board facilitates the connection of up to two wireless expansion modules using SPI as the primary interface to the DK-EM2-2520Z module.
