飞思卡尔(Freescale)公司的MC13224是第三代 ZigBee封装内平台( PiP),集成了完整的低功耗2.4GHz无线电收发器,基于32位ARM7核的MCU,用于IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 和AES安全加密的硬件加速器以及MCU成套外设,是高密度低元件数的IEEE 802.15.4综合解决方案,能实现点对点连接和完整的ZigBee网状网络,因此可广泛应用在住宅区和商业自动化,工业控制,HVAC, 卫生保健和消费类电子等产品.本文介绍了MC13224的主要特性,方框图,RF无线接口以及软件特性和几种开发工具如1322x传感器参考板,1322x-NCB网络板, 1322x-LPB低功耗板和1322x-USB板的主要特性.

MC13224V Advanced ZigBee- Compliant Platform-in-Package (PiP) for the 2.4 GHz IEEE® 802.15.4 Standard The MC13224V is Freescale’s third-generation ZigBee
platform which incorporate a complete, low power, 2.4 GHz radio frequency transceiver, 32-bit ARM7 core based MCU, hardware acceleration for both the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and AES security, and a full set of MCU peripherals into a 99-pin LGA Platform-in-Package (PiP).
The MC13224V solution can be used for wireless applications ranging from simple proprietary point-to-point connectivity to complete ZigBee mesh networking. The MC13224V is designed to provide a highly integrated, total solution, with premier processing capabilities and very low power consumption.



The MC13224V MCU resources offer superior processing power for ZigBee applications. A full 32-bit ARM7TDMI-S core operates up to 26 MHz. A 128 Kbyte FLASH memory is mirrored into a 96 Kbyte RAM for upper stack and applications software. In addition, an 80 Kbyte ROM is available for boot software, standardized IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and communications stack software. A full set of peripherals and Direct Memory Access (DMA) capability for transceiver packet data complement the processor core.

The RF radio interface provides for low cost and the high density as shown in Figure 1. An onboard balun along with a TX/RX switch allows direct connection to a single-ended 50-Ω antenna. The integrated PA provides programmable output power typically from -30 dBm to +4 dBm, and the RX LNA provides -95 dBm sensitivity. In addition, separate complementary PA outputs allow use of an external PA and/or an external LNA for extended range applications. The device also has onboard bypass capacitors and crystal load capacitors for the smallest footprint in the industry. All components are integrated into the package except the crystal and antenna.

In addition to the best-in-class MCU performance and power, the MC13224V also provides best-in-class power savings. Typical transmit or receive current is 20 mA with the CPU at 2 MHz operation and even lower with the bus stealing enabled. Onboard power supply regulation is provided for source voltages from 2.0 Vdc to 3.6 Vdc, and the source voltage can be as low as a regulated 1.8 Vdc if the non-volatile memory is powered directly from the source. Numerous low current modes are available to maximize battery life including sleep or restricted performance operation.
