  • Description

    EMB-Z2530PA is a 2.4 GHz low-power wireless module capable of operating in 802.15.4 or ZigBee networks as a coordinator, router or end device. The module features an integrated PA and LNA that increase the link budget and thus increase the communication range. An integrated PCB antenna makes the module a low-cost solution, removing costs typically associated with external antenna mounting.

    Notable features include:

    • output power up to +20 dBm (100 mW)
    • RF sensitivity up to -100 dBm
    • integrated PCB antenna or uFL connector option
    • open platform

    The EMB-Z2530PA modules ship programmed with EBI-802.15.4 which allows the customer to use the modules as a simple, ready-to-use modem (using AT-like commands over UART; see EBI protocol page for more information). The evaluation kit EMB-Z2530PA-EVK is strongly suggested to customers willing to develop their own firmware applications, since the kit provides all hardware tools required to download a custom firmware on the module. The IDE to be used depends on the chosen firmware stack. IAR Embedded Workbench is usually employed when working with the Z-Stack or TIMAC stacks.
