Tool enables quick wireless sensor design

The RD3965MMA7660FC ZSTAR3 reference design features the MMA7660FC triple-axis ±1.5-g digital accelerometer that consumes 0.4 µA in off mode and 2 µA in standby. The platform comes with two small portable demo boards, a sensor transceiver board, and a USB receiver board for demonstrating and evaluating a wide range of accelerometer-based applications with low-power wireless connectivity.

A USB stick connects via the computer’s USB port for communications, using the USB 2.0 full-speed 8-bit MC68HC908JW32 MCU.Wireless communication is enabled by the MC13213, a ZigBee-ready 2.4-GHz low-power transceiver that also contains an 8-bit MCU as a SiP. The M13213 is IEEE 802.15.4 standard compliant and capable of 16 selectable channels. Typical wireless range is 20 m. ($99 — available now.)
