Kontron has equipped its Car-PC CV-Server with the Intel Pentium M processor, part of the Intel Mobile Centrino technology.
The 65mW ZMN2405HP provides robust performance with exceptionally low power consumption (25dB of output power adjustment is provided through software configuration allowing use under ETS300-328 rules).
Development kits are available through Cirronet's network of distributors including Acal, Avnet-Memec, Digi-Key, Mouser, Nu Horizons and Richardson Electronics.
"The single-chip module, with its reduced sleep current and coupled with the ZigBee 2006 stack, really delivers on the promise of ZigBee in a way that will allow full commercial deployments", says Robert Gemmell, President of Cirronet.
"With our unique CSM profile, OEM customers can quickly bring to market reliable, robust wireless mesh technology".
The ZMN2405HP is based on TI's CC2430 SoC and runs on the most recent ZigBee 2006 stack approved by the ZigBee Alliance.
The module provides 12bit ADCs and sleep current of less than 3uA.
The module includes six GPIO lines, three ADCs, two DACs, a UART and an SPI port allowing a variety of sensor inputs or data streams to be sent over the ZigBee network.
The ZMN2405HP module includes the ZigBee 2006 stack and the Cirronet CSM profile.
The CSM profile provides a powerful, yet easy to integrate API for the modules allowing OEMs to simply write to the API.
This eliminates the requirement for OEMs to develop application code for the modules.
The CSM profile includes network discovery, full serial and I/O functionality, a variety of sleep modes as well as a flexible auto-reporting mode that allows data collection without polling.
The modules are suitable for drop-in replacement for and replace the Cirronet ZMN2400HP two-chip modules, and require little, if any, customer application changes.
Cirronet will provide custom profiles for OEMs or will provide support to customers wishing to write their own stack or profile or can create custom profiles for OEMs.
The ZMN2405HP is FCC and ETSI certified as a module.
