DESCRIPTION
The MeshConnect
™
EM35x Mini Modules from
California Eastern Laboratories (CEL) combine high
performance RF solutions with the market's premier
ZigBee
®
stack. Available in low and high output
power options (+8 dBm and +20 dBm), these modules
can accommodate variable range and performance
requirements. The tiny module footprint makes them
suitable for a wide range of ZigBee applications. The
MeshConnect EM35x Mini Modules are certified and
qualified, enabling customers to accelerate time to
market by greatly reducing the design and certification
phases of development.
CEL’s
MeshConnect
EM35x
Mini
Modules
(ZICM35xSP0 and ZICM35xSP2) are based on
the Ember EM35x (EM357 and EM358x) ZigBee
compliant System on Chip (SoC) radio ICs. Each IC is
a complete single-chip solution, compliant with ZigBee
specifications and IEEE 802.15.4.
CEL’s EM358x-based Mini Modules (ZICM358xSP0
and ZICM358xSP2) are ideal for customers requiring
Over-the-Air (OTA) programming (such as Smart
Energy or Home Automation) or a larger memory
footprint for complex application control. They also
feature an optional on-board Universal Serial Bus
(USB) 2.0 full-speed peripheral.

Ember Companion Kit
CEL’s MeshConnect EM35x Ember Companion Kit is
designed to work with the Silicon Laboratories / Ember
Development Kits (EM35X-DEV and EM35X-DEV-IAR).
Each module in the CEL Development Kit is soldered on
a carrier board making it pin-for-pin compatible with the
Ember Development Board.
Mini Modules Programming Fixture
CEL's MeshConnect EM35x Mini Modules Programming
Fixture is a programming assembly designed to be used
with the CEL ZICM35xSPx MeshConnect Mini Modules. It
is useful for production programming or during application
development when multiple firmware images are required
to be loaded into a CEL Mini Module for testing and
debugging. The programming assembly must be used in
conjunction with an Ember Debug/InSight Adapter (ISA3)
from Silicon Labs.
