System Overview

This chapter introduces the basic components, functionality, and power supply options of the 
MC13192EVB. Also included in this chapter are the schematic and Bill of Materials (BOM) for the 
MC13192EVB. For more information on applications used to evaluate the Freescale ZigBee/802.15.4 
solution, refer to the 

ZigBee/802.15.4 Evaluation Kit Quick Start Guide

, AN2772.

For information on how to setup the Freescale ZigBee/802.15.4 MAC primitives and the development 
environment, refer to the 

802.15.4 MAC/PHY Software Reference Manual

, (802154MPSRM). 

The primary voltage supply for the MC13192EVB is 3.0 V. This voltage is generated by the LDO (IC106 
from National Semiconductors). The LDO can be supplied from either a USB port on a PC, or by a DC 
voltage adapter. Input voltage from the DC voltage adaptor must be in the 3.5 to 12 VDC range. 

The 3.0 V supply is split into various blocks such as, RF, LNA, BB, and others with 0 ohm resistors. This 
allows users to measure current consumption of the various MC13192EVB blocks.

Microcontroller Unit

This section introduces the microcontroller unit (MCU) basic components and features.

The MC9S08GT60 is a member of the low-cost, high performance, HCS08 Family of 8-bit 
microcontroller units. The MC9S08GT60 has 60 KB of on-chip programmable FLASH memory and 4 KB 
of RAM available. 

The MC9S08GT60 includes two independent serial communications interface (SCI) modules. These serial 
communications interfaces are connected to respectively a RS-232 interface and an USB interface. 

The MCU contains an analog to digital (ATD) converter module of 8 ports. The half of the pins is used for 
communication to the RF part and the rest are available for easy use.

A serial peripheral interface (SPI) module handles the data communication between the MCU and the 
transceiver.

All connections needed for fully controlling the MC13192, 2.4 GHz transceiver are provided by the 
MC9S08GT60. 

The MC9S08GT60 is housed in a 48-pin quad flat non-lead package (QFN).
