ZFSM-101-2
Integrated Transceiver Module for ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4
DESCRIPTION
CEL's FreeStar Module is a small, fully-integrated, drop-in
RF transmission solution that’s ideal for ZigBee and other low
cost, low power IEEE 802.15.4 RF transmission applications.
FreeStar incorporates the MC13202 transceiver IC and MC-
9S08GT60 microprocessor from Freescale™ with the Renesas
UPG2301TQ Power Amplifier and Inverted-F PCB antenna. It
delivers up to 4,000 feet of range and features a streamlined
communications protocol that results in the lowest power con-
sumption in transmit mode of any module on the market. The
FreeStar is also FCC and CE certified, which eliminates the
need for a costly and time-consuming approval process when
incorporated into your design.

This FreeStar (ZFSM-101-2) datasheet is based on the Freescale MC13202 transceiver IC. It replaces the old FreeStar
(ZFSM-101-1) datasheet that was based on the Freescale MC13192 transceiver IC. This datasheet also highlights the
changes made when migrating from the MC13192 (now obsolete) to the MC13202 transceiver IC.

DEVELOPMENT KIT (LIMITED AVAILABILITy)
CEL's Development Kit assist users in both evaluation and
development. As a stand-alone radio system, the kit allows
users to place the modules into the target environment
and evaluate performance on-site. The Development Kit
also serves as an invaluable aid in application develop-
ment. Through the many interface headers on the board,
the user has access to all of the module pins, enabling
easy connection to target systems for application develop-
ment.
The interface board features a serial communication
interface, a power management module, and peripherals
such as a buzzer, push-button switches, LEDs and GPIO
headers.
FreeStar ZFSM-101-1 Kit is based
on the MC13192 transceiver IC
(Limited Availability).
For more detailed information regarding these Develop-
ment Kits, refer to the respective

TRANSCEIVER IC
The FreeStar ZFSM-101-2 module (MC13202 based module) replaces the ZFSM-101-1 module (MC13192 based module).
The key differences between the MC1319x series and the MC1320x series are the addition of an internal transmit/receive
(TR) switch to the MC1320x design and some receiver design changes that require a few register setting changes for opti-
mal performance.
Default condition of T/R switch is disabled; this is controlled by a register that was previously unreserved (register 0x07, bits
12, 13, 14)

SOFTWARE REVISIONS
Required Software Changes
•
•
The MC1320x series devices include a transmit/receive switch that is not included on the MC1319x series
devices. The default setting is for the switch not to be enabled, so no change in software is required.
Changing to the MC1320x requires different register settings as follows:
1. PSM_Mode Register 0x31 shoud be programmed to 0xA0C0 (normal operation) - this register is
described in the MC1320x Reference Manual as reserved except for the 3-bit psm_tm[2:0] field located
at bit PSM_Mode[5:3]. This field uses a value of 0b000 for normal operation and a value of 0b0001 for RF
test (modular disabled). The MC13202 now requires that reserved bits PSM_Mode[7:6] be over-written to
2b11, and as a result, the new program values are : a) 0xA0C0 for normal operation, and b) 0xA0C8 for
modulator disabled test.
2. Register 0x34 should be programmed to value 0xFEC6 - this is a reserved hidden register that trims radio
parameters, and the default value must be over-written.
•
It is not required that the software project be upgraded to one of Freescles's new codebases and no other
changes are required.
MAC and PHY Changes
PHy_HW_Setup.c changes:
Removed these two lines in static const uint8_t setupAddrTable[]
// ABEL_CONTROL2_REG,// Abel 2.2 only
// ABEL_reg9,
// Abel 2.2 only
Removed these two lines in static const uint16_t setupValueTable[]
// For Abel 2.2 only
// 0x7D3C,
// 0xF3FD,
// For Abel 2.2 only
Redefined the mask to make sure the register is initialized correctly. Changes made in static const uint16_t setupValueTable[]
//#define tmp1 (0x7c00 | cABEL2SPI_MASK | cUSE_STRM_MODE)
#define tmp1 (0x0c00 | cABEL2SPI_MASK | cUSE_STRM_MODE)
In function void WakeUpIsr(void), redefined the mask to make sure the register is initialized correctly.
//ctrl2val=0x7c00 | cABEL2SPI_MASK | cUSE_STRM_MODE;
ctrl2val=0x0c00 | cABEL2SPI_MASK | cUSE_STRM_MODE;
radioMAC.c changes:
Added following definitions.
0x31
#define PSM_REG
uint u16PSM_reg_TEST = 0xA0C0;
unsigned short u16Reg7Init = 0;
In function PRIVATE uchar RadioMAC_802_15_4_LowLevelInit(void) after InitializePhy();
function call added the following to make sure the register is initialized correctly:
