Real-time emulator speeds PIC16F87X development
The latest real-time emulation hardware module from RF Solutions is designed to simplifythe development of embedded systems based on Arizona Microchip's PIC16F87X family of 8-bit microcontrollers
The UZBee can be used in wireless personal area network (WPAN) applications where there is a requirement for high data throughput but where duty cycles are low.
The ZigBee protocol is suitable for enabling communication in home, business and industrial automation where control devices and sensors are commonly used.
Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 specification and fully FCC/CD compliant, the UZBee transceiver dongle uses Flexipanel's USBoot technology to allow its firmware to be changed via the USB port without any specialist programming equipment.
OEMs wishing to customise the dongle can do so by programming the onboard PIC18LF4550 microcontroller.
UZBee's specification also includes a pushbutton and a status LED.
The transceiver's range is achieved by making use of an integral signature 'G' antenna.
Overall dimensions of the dongle are 56 x 20 x 9mm.
