ZigBit ™ Module with Balanced RF Output – MNZB-24-B0 (ZDM-A1281-B0)

ZigBit Module with Balanced RF Port is a low-power, best-in-class sensitivity 802.15.4/ZigBee module. In just under half a square inch of space comes an impressive set of features you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Based on a solid combination of the popular ATmega 1281v MCU and the latest Atmel AT86RF230 radio transceiver, this ZigBit version offers superior radio performance and is ideal for price-sensitive applications.

ZigBit Module with Balanced RF Port minimizes bill of materials (BOM) and shortens time to market, while embedded 802.15.4/ZigBee software ensures standards-based wireless connectivity for a wide range of applications
