1323x Development Hardware Reference Manual, Rev. 1.0
Freescale Semiconductor iii
About This Book
This manual describes Freescale’s MC1323x development platform hardware. The MC1323x
development platform is an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant evaluation environment based on the Freescale
MC1323x device. The heart of the MC1323x platform is Freescale’s low cost System-on-Chip (SoC) for
the IEEE
®
802.15.4 Standard that incorporates a complete, low power, 2.4 GHz radio frequency
transceiver with Tx/Rx switch, an 8-bit HCS08 CPU, and a functional set of MCU peripherals into a 48-pin
LGA package. This family of products is targeted for wireless RF remote control and other cost-sensitive
applications ranging from home TV and entertainment systems such as ZigBee BeeStack Consumer
(RF4CE) to low cost, low power, IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee end nodes.
Audience
This manual is intended for system designers.
