Datasheet ZigBit Module with Dual Chip Antenna is a low-power, best-in-class sensitivity 802.15.4 / ZigBee module. In just over half a square inch of space comes an impressive set of features you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Based on a solid combination of the popular ATmega 1281v MCU and the latest Atmel AT86RF230 radio transceiver, this ZigBit version offers superior radio performance with exceptional ease of integration. ZigBit Module with Dual Chip Antenna eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming RF development and shortens time to market, while embedded 802.15.4 / ZigBee software ensures standards-based wireless connectivity for a wide range of applications. ZigBit Module Hardware Platform ZigBit is based on the innovative Atmel 802.15.4 hardware platform. The powerful ATmega 1281v MCU features 128kb of flash memory and 8Kb of RAM. The AT86RF230 transceiver offers -101dBm of Rx sensitivity and up to +3dBm of Tx power. This combination, called the "link budget" is related to its range of operation. The difference in link budget – just 9dBm – nearly triples its range. Thanks to the outperforming link budget, the range of AT86RF230 is 2.8 times that of its competitors.
