1 System Description
1.1 Applications
RFM’s ZPM3750 module is a standards-based wireless transceiver designed for Smart Energy and other
short range wireless markets that require low power consumption, high transmit power (20 dBm typical)
and high receiver sensitivity (-103 dBm). The ZPM3750 is based upon the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless net-
work specification and includes the ZigBee PRO stack. The module can be used to develop applications
supporting the ZigBee PRO Smart Energy and Home Automation application profiles. The ZPM3750
module operates in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM frequency band for worldwide deployment.
1.2 Module Summary

• Ember EM357 high-performance, integrated ZigBee/802.15.4 chipset
• Supply voltage: 2.4 to 3.4 V
• Data logging memory: 8 Mbits serial flash
• Security: 128-bit AES
• Antenna: on-module
• Host Interface: SPI, UART
• Meter interface: I2C, GPIO
• ADC ports: 6 x 14-bit
• RoHS compliant
• MSL JEDEC level 3
