ATZB-X0-256-4-0-C [ZigBit 900 MHz Wireless Modules] 

Depending on end-user design requirements, the ZigBit can operate as a self-contained sensor node, where it would 

function as a single MCU, or it can be paired with a host processor driving the module over a serial interface.  

 

The MAC stack running on the host processor can then control data transmission and manages module peripherals.  

Thus very minimal firmware customization is required for successful module design-in. Third-party sensors can then be 

connected directly to the module, thus expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces. 

Every ZigBit Module come pre loaded with Atmel assigned 64-bit MAC address stored in the signature bytes of the 

device. This unique IEEE MAC address can be used as the MAC address of the end product, so there is no need to buy 

a MAC address separately for the product using the ZigBit.
