Micro/sys Releases the First Rugged USB-Compatible Zigbee� "No Strings/Cables Attached" Transceiver
Montrose, CA... The new Micro/sys USB1320 Zigbee wireless transceiver paves the way for this popular wireless communication standard to be added to embedded systems and still meet the reliability demands of volatile environments. The "no strings/cables" benefit is achieved by using the rugged StackableUSB electrical specification, which does not require a cable to access USB technology. As a result, industrial-grade shocks and vibrations are more easily tolerated. The very compact footprint of 1.85� x 1.78�, one-quarter the size of the 104 Form Factor, makes the USB1320 ideal for demanding applications confined to small, tight spaces and for reception in challenging environments.
This RoHS-compliant
board can be configured with any of three Digi� XBee� modules: the Xbee ZB,
XBee-Pro ZB, or XBee-Pro 900/DigiMesh. Each comes equipped with four 10-bit
A/D, seven digital I/O, and two pulse width modulators. The USB1320
supports Point-to-Point, Point-to-Peer, Point-to-Multipoint,
and Mesh topologies, and operates in extended temperatures. The USB1320
can connect to desktop PCs and laptops via a Type B mini-USB
connector for easy development. And with designers in mind, Micro/sys offers an
easy-to-use development kit that includes the board with all options installed,
a complete cable set, sample software, full documentation, and more.
The basic USB1320
starts at $135 in
single quantity. Significant OEM discounts are available. Contact Technical
