SN250/260

Single–Chip ZigBee/802.15.4 Solution

The SN250 provides a true ZigBee System-on-Chip that combines a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio transceiver and a powerful 16-bit microprocessor with comprehensive hardware supported network-level debugging features to simplify development

The SN260 is the first network processor chip that has been designed specifically for the low power, low cost, meshnetworking industry standard protocol – ZigBee. The SN260 allows the customer to use other microcontrollers to run their application, while the SN260 provides ZigBee functionality. SN250, SN260 can be used with EmberZNet, Ember’s ZigBee compliant embedded meshnetworking software. They are optimized for designs requiring long battery life and a reliable, proven, industry-standard networking solution.
