The IEEE 802.15.4 MAC standard based solution supports all four of NXP’s wireless connectivity product series. It also can implement networks as simple as peer-to-peer up to star and mesh or cluster-tree networks. The solution is best suited for networks where robust communication is essential and network timing is critical. The 802.15.4 solution is an exceptional choice for designers who do not need a network standard (like ZigBee) nor do they need interoperability of end products. As well, the 802.15.4 solution supports NXP’s HCS08GT and GB microcontrollers and the ARM 7 TDMI-S controller. The 802.15.4 solution supports packet and streaming mode. It also has the capability to support beaconed and non-beaconed networks. With AES-128 encryption and decryption as well as a random number generator, the solution supports the more complex mesh and cluster-tree networks. The software is available in object code, which gives the engineer the flexibility to eliminate features that are not needed for a specific design or end product.
