MeshConnect™ 

EM357 Mini Modules

DESCRIPTION 

CEL’s MeshConnect™ EM357 Mini Modules combine high 
performance RF solutions with the market's premier ZigBee

®

 

stack. Available in low and high output power options 
(+8dBm and +20dBm), these modules can accommodate 
variable range and performance requirements. The tiny 
module footprint makes them suitable for a wide range 
of ZigBee applications. The MeshConnect EM357 Mini 
Modules are certified and qualified, enabling customers to 
accelerate time to market by greatly reducing the design 
and certification phases of development.

CEL's MeshConnect EM357 Mini Modules (ZICM357SP0, 
ZICM357SP2) are based on the Ember EM357 Zigbee 
compliant SOC radio IC. The IC is a single-chip solution, 
compliant  with  ZigBee  specifications  and  IEEE  802.15.4, 
a complete wireless solution for all ZigBee applications. 
The IC consists of an RF transceiver with the baseband 
modem, a hardwired MAC and an embedded 32-bit ARM® 
Cortex™-M3 microcontroller with internal RAM (12kB) and 
Flash  (192kB)  memory.  The  device  provides  numerous 
general-purpose I/O pins and peripheral functions such as 
timers and UARTs.
