Revised Date: Jun. 16, 2008 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The QRZ-3100-PA is a miniature 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum ZigBee transceiver. It includes all RF hardware and a micro-controller to manage the communications link. The micro-controller manages all communications task including configuration, data packaging, and clear channel selection. The result is a complete wireless data communications solution.

The QRZ-3100-PA package is unique because of its small form factor (32 x 23 mm2), It has an on-board chip antenna and the availability of external dipole antenna I-PEX connector. No competitive products can offer a solution as flexible, convenient, and easy to integrate,

There are two QRZ-3100 serial models; the QRZ-3100 with the on-board chip antenna and dipole antenna I-PEX connector, the QRZ-3100-PA with power amplifier, low noise amplifier, on-board chip antenna and dipole antenna I-PEX connector. The power amplifier enhances the transmission power and low noise amplifier increases receiving signal sensitivity. The power amplifier, low noise amplifier and dipole antenna improve range while the QRZ-3100 lowers system cost and simplifies integration.

Models• QRZ-3100-PA: Includes PA/LNA, On-board chip Antenna Connector, MCU is Megawin MPC82X54AT• QRZ-3100-PAE: Includes PA/LNA, Dipole Antenna Connector, MCU is Megawin MPC82X54AT

Features• 32 x 23 mm2 PCBA package with 2 connectors• Utilizes globally available 2.4 GHz ISM band• Control and Configuration with UART commands.• Programmable Transmit Power Output, max. 9 dBm• Complete IEEE 802.15.4 spec compliant• Typical Receiver Sensitivity –101 dBm• Typical Throughput rate 250,000 bps• Multiple Low Power Operating modes• Meet RoHS Requirement

4. POWER SAVING MODES

The QRZ-3100-PA includes several low power operating modes to permit the most efficient use of the available power. Below are descriptions of the available selections.

ACTIVE: In Active Mode, all QRZ-3100-PA circuits are powered and available for immediate action. This includes the RF receiver which actively monitors the air for an incoming communications request. Two sub-modes are classified as TX-ACTIVE and RX-ACTIVE. The current consumption of TX-ACTIVE is 35 mA while RX-ACTIVE is 34 mA.

SLEEP(Internal wakeup): In this mode, MCU circuits stop. The RF chip circuits work and start counting. When time up, the RF chip wakes up automatically. Then the RF chip wakes MCU up using interrupt. Current draw in Standby Mode is less than 110 uA.

SLEEP(External wakeup): In this mode, MCU and RF chip circuits stop. Users can use intreeupt to wake MCU up. When MCU wake up, it use the COMMAND to wake RF chip up. Current draw in Standby Mode is less than 110 uA.



5. CONNECTORS PIN CONFIGURATION

QRZ-3100-PA uses Megawin MPC82X54AT as MCU. It is an 8051 base MCU and reserves 10 GPIO pins for external controlling by application. Each pin can be a general I/O pin and programmed it by user directly. Furthermore, most of these pins can be used as special purpose function. Thereof TX, RX pins can be programmed as UART for data communication. For example, user is easy to connect these pins with RS485 transceivers such as 75176, MAX485, or programs to a 10-bit ADC, or PCA.

10. DESIGN GUIDE TO AVOID RF INTERFERENCE

When RF module put on an application board(mother board), to minimize the RF signal interference, the best way is to define an isolation area. This area should have no any trace or grounding pad. Here are some layout suggestions for mother board.

Suggestion 1: Place RF board aside mother board. (Let antenna part outside mother board is better) Make sure no trace and grounding pad under the must isolate area. Please see the drawing as below.

Suggestion 2: Place RF board at the corner of mother board. Make sure no trace and grounding pad under the must isolate area. Please see the drawing as below.

Suggestion 3: If you couldn’t put RF board at one side or at the corner of mother board. You must make sure no circuit trace and grounding pad under the must isolate area, and at least reserve extra 3 mm space as safety area. Please see the drawing as below.

For all of above suggestions, try to extend isolation area from must area to prefer area. Please see the drawing as below. The more isolation area, the better RF performance。
