January 2007 saw the launch of Jennic’s second generation wireless
microcontrollers, the JN513x family – raising the stakes not just in the
performance of single chip solutions for IEEE802.15.4 and ZigBee
applications, but also creating a series of low cost price points that
make this technology a compelling choice to even the most cost-sensitive
of applications.
Supporting the launch is a range of IEEE802.15.4 and ZigBee evaluation
kits based on the JN5139 wireless microcontroller, containing all of the
software tools and hardware components required to allow developers to
rapidly evaluate the technology and to develop products.
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||
Jennic's JN5139 wireless microcontroller modules now pass all regulatory
approvals in the USA and Europe, with full certification for FCC and ETSI
now received. This means system manufacturers implementing Jennic’s
modules in IEEE802.15.4 and ZigBee applications can save weeks of time and
costs in performing the RF regulatory testing, resulting in products being
commissioned quicker.
In the USA, a modular approvals certificate is available, stating that an
end product which incorporates an approved module does not need to perform
RF tests again to receive FCC certification for the end product. In
Europe, a test report is available stating that the modules comply with
ETSI standard ETS 300 328, which can then be used as part of the technical
construction file to demonstrate compliance with the radio sections of
European EMC regulations.
