1. Introduction

The JN5121-xxx-Myy module family provides designers with a ready made component which allows IEEE802.15.4 [1]

wireless applications, including ZigBee, to be quickly and easily included in product designs. The modules integrate

all of the RF components, removing the need to perform expensive RF design and test. Products can be designed by

simply connecting sensors and switches to the module IO pins. The modules use Jennic’s single chip IEEE802.15.4

Wireless Microcontroller, allowing designers to make use of the extensive chip development support material.

Hence, this range of modules allows designers to bring wireless applications to market in the minimum time with

significantly reduced development effort and cost.

Three basic modules are available: JN5121-xxx-M00 (standard module with on board ceramic antenna), JN5121-xxx-

M01 (standard module with SMA connector for use with external antennae) and JN5121-xxx-M02 (high RF power,

improved sensitivity module for extended range applications). Each of these modules can be supplied with a range of

protocol stacks, including a simple IEEE802.15.4 protocol for point to point and star applications and a ZigBee mesh

networking stack. The variants available are described below.

1.2. Regulatory Approvals

All module types have been tested against the requirements of European standard ETS 300

328 and a certificate of compliance to this standard is available on request. The High Power

modules with M02 suffix are approved for use in Europe with reduced output power. They must

not be used with PHY_PIB_ATTR_TX_POWER set above 3 See

[4].

Additionally, modules with M00, M03 and M04 suffixes have received FCC “Modular Approvals”,

in compliance with CFR 47 FCC part 15 regulations and in accordance to FCC Public notice

DA00-1407. The modules are approved for use with the following half wave dipole antenna

families: EAD BKR2400 series, Antenna Factor RCT and RCL series, Centurion WCR2400 &

WRR2400, GigaAnt Titanis and Nearson Models 131, 141 & 145. See Appendix

A.7 for details

on the conditions applying to this modular approval.
