1 Introduction

1.1 Overview
The Controller board is supplied with Jennic evaluation kits, which provide a
complete hardware environment for designers to develop IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee
applications, and to accelerate time-to-market. The hardware provides a stable
platform which allows designers to rapidly develop and test applications based
around Jennic wireless microcontroller products.
The wireless microcontroller is mounted on a module, which provides a reference
design with a small footprint and low component count. All RF layout and decoupling
issues are handled by the design of this module, allowing it to be easily incorporated
into systems, simply by mounting the module on a motherboard. The motherboard
design only needs to provide a standard footprint, which conforms to normal well-
understood low-speed digital design guidelines. The footprint allows access to all of
the analogue and digital IO provided by the microcontroller, and requires only power
and reset signals to be fed to the module.

1.2 Features
The Controller board provides the following features to allow rapid development of
IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee applications:
• Large 128 x 64 pixel LCD screen with a comprehensive set of driver routines
(write text, chart, graph, trend, etc)
• 4 LED indicators
• 4 push-button switches
• Temperature sensor
• Humidity sensor
• Light sensor
• Serial EEPROM
• UART interface for communication and program downloads
• Expansion port for additional sensors

2.2 Jennic Module Connector

The module connector provides an easy way of mounting different types of module
containing Jennic wireless microcontrollers.

! Caution: When replacing modules, ensure that power is removed

from the board and that the replacement module is connected
correctly before reapplying power. Failure to do so may result in
permanent damage to both the module and the controller PCB.

2.3 Power Supply

The board may be powered from either two ‘AAA’ batteries or an external PSU.
Connection is via a 2.1-mm jack socket (J8) and the input is protected against
reverse polarity. The External PSU voltage supply range is 5-7V DC or 4.5–6V AC.
The power supply source is selected using jumper J2:
• To use the battery supply, J2 pins 1-2 must be closed
• To use an external PSU, J2 pins 2-3 must be closed
The board is powered on using switch SW6, regardless of the power supply source.

2.4 LCD

2.4.1 Panel
The Controller board includes a 128 x 64 pixel LCD screen. Application software
can access this through a supplied set of library functions.

2.4.2 Backlight
The LCD has a backlight function enabled by jumper J6. The backlight is unaffected
by the power-on switch and operates automatically when an external supply is
connected.

Note: Due to the high current requirements of the backlight, this

feature is only available when running off an external PSU.

2.5 UART Connectors

UART connectors are provided for communication with the Jennic wireless
microcontroller and to enable programming of the on-module Flash memory. These
pins connect directly to the UART0 and UART 1 pins on the microcontroller device,
and are 3V tolerant.

! Caution: An RS232 to 3V level shifter should be used when

interfacing the UART signals with equipment operating on RS232
voltage levels. Failure to do so may permanently damage the
Jennic wireless microcontroller within the module.

2.6 Sensors
Three sensors are provided for the measurement of environmental parameters:
• Light level
• Temperature
• Humidity
A set of library functions provides access to the necessary control and status of
each sensor.
The sensors interface to the module using DIO14/DIO15 (light) and DIO12/DIO13
(temperature and humidity). Consequently, these DIO lines will not be available for
their primary or secondary function when the corresponding sensors are used by an
application.
The sensors are connected to the Jennic module via zero-ohm links to allow them to
be disconnected from the I/O lines of the module without cutting tracks on the PCB.
Refer to the schematic diagram in Section 5.1 for further details.

2.6.1 Light Sensor

The board contains a TAOS TSL2550 light sensor. This is a digital-output light
sensor with a two-wire, SMBus serial interface. It combines two photodiodes and a
companding analog-to-digital converter (ADC) on a single CMOS integrated circuit
to provide light measurements over an effective 12-bit dynamic range, with a
response similar to that of the human eye.

Reference Manual

2.6.2 Temperature and Humidity Sensor

The board is supplied with an on-board Sensirion SHT11 single-chip multi-sensor
module for the measurement of temperature and relative humidity. The device
includes two calibrated micro-sensors for temperature and relative humidity, which
are coupled to a 14-bit analogue-to-digital converter and a serial interface circuit.
Conversion may be programmed with 8-, 12- or 14-bit accuracy, depending on
application resolution or speed requirements.
Humidity is measurable over 0-100% relative humidity, and temperature over the
range –40°C to 85°C.

2.7 EEPROM
The 24AA01 is a low-voltage 128-byte x 8-bit 2-wire serial EEPROM.

2.8 Switches and LEDs

The user can interact with an application via:
• Four push-button switches, SW1-SW4
• Four indicator LEDs, D1-D4

Note: For correct switch/LED operation, the application must

configure DIO9-DIO11 and DIO20 as inputs, and DIO16-DIO19
as outputs. Any associated expansion connector signals must be
used with care if the DIO signals are also used for
switch/indicator functions.

Two other switches are present on the board:

• Switch SW5 is the system reset (RESETN) - pressing this switch resets the
board and the module.
• Switch SW7 is the programming mode button.
D9 is the power status LED, indicating when the power is switched on.

insertion, with the fuse holder permitting quick and easy replacement of the fuse.

Note 1:
If used as an output, this line will go low when the reset switch is
pressed. The line may also be used to reset external devices
simultaneously with the Controller board. Alternatively as an
input, it can be shorted to ground to allow external devices to
force a system reset.

Note 2:
When using modules based on the JN5121 device, the
comparator is available on connections C2P and C2M.

Note 3:
The maximum output current from the regulator is 150mA. You
must ensure that the total board current does not exceed this
value.

3.4 Flash Write Protect (J5)

Jumper J5 controls the write protection for the Flash memory on the Jennic module.
In position 2-3, the memory is write-protected and any programming attempt will be
unsuccessful. Conversely, if the Flash is to be programmed then the jumper should
be moved to position 1-2, removing the hardware write protection.
By default, this jumper is not fitted. Instead, a zero-ohm link (R23) is fitted across
positions 1-2 to keep the Flash device in write-enabled mode.

Note: The Flash write-protect pin is not normally active. It can be

enabled within the Flash device via software.

3.5 Flash Memory Access (J7)

Jumper J7 forms a link connecting the chip-select signal from the Jennic wireless
microcontroller (SSZ) to the chip-select input on the SPI Flash device (SSM)
contained within the Jennic module.
By default, the board is supplied without this jumper fitted. Instead, a zero-ohm link
(R16) is fitted in its place. It should not be necessary to remove this link.

3.6 Backlight Control (J6)

Closing jumper J6 enables the LED backlight on the panel display.

Note: The backlight feature is not available when running the unit
off batteries.

3.7 Power Connector (J8)

Jumper J8 allows the board to be powered from an external power supply via a
standard 2.1-mm barrel socket. It does not matter which polarity is on the centre pin.
