Microsemi announces the industry's lowest power Sub-GHz RF transceiver for secure IoT applications

Microsemi Corpora TIon (NYSE: MSC), a leading provider of differentiated semiconductor technology solutions for power, safety, reliability and performance, announces industrial, safety and medical applications Very low power sub-GHz radio frequency (RF) transceiver for applications. In addition to the industry-leading low-power features, the new ZL70550 combines high-performance wireless capabilities, high levels of integration, and a very small package at competitive prices. The ZL70550 is ideal for wireless applications based on coin cells or energy harvesters such as electronic shelf labels, retail fixed asset tracking, process control, wearable monitoring and diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG).

According to the latest market research by World Inc., the chipset market reached 450 million in 2015, making the wireless sensor market experience “speeding up”. While this market is dominated by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee solutions, many applications require very small batteries to run for years, requiring lower power consumption than these technologies.

"In many medical and industrial customer applications, replacing batteries is very complicated and costly, and even exceeds the cost of the system itself. We are the pacemakers that must reduce power consumption," said Francois PelleTIer, director of product line at Microsemi. Hearing aids have successfully developed an intellectual property technology that provides the lowest power wireless link in a very small form factor that is easy to deploy."

The ZL70550 transceiver operates from an unlicensed industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band of 779 to 965 MH, consuming only 2.8 mA while delivering output power at -10 dBm, consuming nearly 2.5 mA of current during reception. This product offers the industry's lowest 10nA sleep current, making it ideal for low duty cycle applications. The ZL70550 is a flexible solution that can be tailored to a wide range of application requirements, operating from 1.7 V to 3.6 V, providing variable output power and data rates up to 200 kbps. For extended wireless range applications, it can adjust transmitter output power, receiver input sensitivity, and data rate to achieve a link budget of up to -107 dBm while minimizing device power consumption.

The ZL70550 transceiver is a highly integrated product in a very small 3x2 mm chip scale package. In addition to the antenna and in some cases matching the network, only one crystal, one resistor and two coupling capacitors are required.

The device includes advanced media access controller (MAC), Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), clear channel estimation, sniffing, preamble and synchronization, data packing, whitening and forward error correction that provide most of the link support functions ( FEC). Microsemi offers Z-Star protocol options for fast product development and star topology configuration to allow full network deployment.

ZL70550 Development Tools

Microsemi offers wireless sensor network (WSN) evaluation kits and application development kits (ADK) to simplify and accelerate hardware and software development. The evaluation kit includes a USB hub and an accelerometer sensor node that demonstrates wireless sensor network applications using the ZL70550's built-in Z-Star protocol. The ADK provides all the necessary hardware and software to demonstrate the performance of the ZL70550 as a tool to support prototyping.

Product supply

The ZL70550 sample and evaluation kit is available now. The ZL70550 is available in a 5x5 mm QFN or 3x2 mm CSP package. The ZLE70550BADB WSN Evaluation Kit is priced at $200.
