Microchip Technology Inc. has released two additions to its IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee portfolio for short-range, low-data-rate embedded wireless networking. The MRF24J40MB is Microchip's second 2.4 GHz Radio Frequency (RF), surface-mountable transceiver module. On the software side, Microchip's ZigBee Pro protocol stack targets IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless networks using Microchip's PIC MCUs. The combination of Microchip's ZigBee PRO stack, the MRF24J40 transceiver radio or transceiver modules, and any of its 16-bit PIC24 MCUs or dsPIC33 DSCs forms Microchip's ZigBee PRO Compliant Platform, as certified by the ZigBee Alliance. The MRF24J40MB module adds +20 decibels per milliwatt (dBm) of transmit power via an integrated Power Amplifier (PA) and -102 dBm of receive sensitivity via the integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to the IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transceiver, PCB antenna and discrete matching circuitry. More transmit power allows designers to expand the range of their IEEE 802.15.4-based ZigBee or proprietary-protocol wireless networks. Link
