What is Z-Accel and CC2480? • Z-Accel is a ZigBee Network Processor that communicates with any MCU via an SPI or UART interface • CC2480 is the first-generation ZigBee-compliant network processor in the Z-Accel family • Z-Accel allows customers to work with their favorite MCUs • Z-Accel provides complete ZigBee functionality without having to learn the complexities of a full ZigBee stack
CC2480: ZigBee Network Processor Benefits • Easy to add ZigBee to new or existing products • Shorter product development time • Flexibility to choose any host MCU • Standard SPI or UART Interface • ZigBee-compliant stack, Z-Stack™ • SimpleAPI makes development easy • Excellent selectivity & blocking performance • Standardized, robust mesh network Applications • Home & building automation • Industrial monitoring & control • Asset tracking • Low-power wireless sensor networks • Set-top boxes, remote controls • Automated meter reading • Medical applications 7mm x 7mm QFN-48
SimpleAPI • Z-Accel implements TI’s SimpleAPI (Applications Programming Interface) • SimpleAPI has only 10 API calls to learn • Very little code space needed on the application MCU – small application MCU can be used (4kB) • SimpleAPI simplifies device configuration, binding of devices, sending and receiving data • All the benefits of ZigBee with minimal ZigBee knowledge required • Shorten development time and learning curve • No need to read the ZigBee specification (ZigBee2006 specification is 534 pages)
eZ430-RF2480 Demonstration Kit • Evaluate Z-Accel today with comprehensive USB-based wireless development tool • The eZ430-RF2480 Demo Kit: • Allows fast evaluation of Z-Accel • Interfaces an MSP430F2274 to the CC2480 • Demonstrates the Simple API command interface • Available now for only $99 (US$) ZigBee Processor USB or Battery Powered MSP430F2274(backside)
Tools: Packet Sniffer Packet Sniffer • General packet sniffer available, runs on the dev kits • Already supports SimpliciTI network protocol • Packet sniffer can be used with all application examples, not just SimpliciTI • The packet sniffer visualizes all RF traffic and content in a graphical format. • Each packet receives a time stamp and RF protocol flow can be inspected in chronological order
CC2480: Summary • Z-Accel makes ZigBee easy, reduces time-to-market • eZ430-RF2480 demo kit only $99 (US$) • Samples, data sheets, technical support available today! www.ti.com/cc2480
