Texas Instruments Inc. and Ember Corp. introduce the low power consuming ZigBee™ networking and microcontroller (MCU) platform. ZigBee is a wireless, standards-based radio technology that addresses the unique needs of remote monitoring, control and sensor network applications including home control and awareness, building automation, industrial automation, asset management and homeland security. Ember has paired its EM2420 802.15.4/ZigBee-compliant semiconductor platform with TI’s MSP430F161x series of low power MCUs for developers building ZigBee applications that require the lowest possible power requirements. The dual-chip network module provides a complete, integrated MSP430 MCU, a radio and the ZigBee software platform for OEMs wishing to tap into the booming market for ZigBee/802.15.4 wireless sensing and control applications. The MSP430F161x MCU series offers low current consumption with 1.1µA standby mode with real-time clock operation, as well as a 300µA (1 MHz) active mode that allows engineers to tune system clocking to meet precise power requirements.
