DNT24MC/MP Hardware
DNT24MC/MP Firmware
The major components of the DNT24MC/MP include a
2.4 GHz FHSS transceiver and a low current 8-bit
microcontroller. The DNT24MC/MP hops across 15
frequency channels in the 2.4 Ghz ISM band on one of
64 selectable hopping patterns. The DNT24MC/MP
has two selectable RF output power levels: 6.3 mW
and 63 mW.
DNT24MC/MP firmware implements direct peer-topeer data transmissions that provide very low transmission latency between all DNT24MC/MP radios in a
network. In addition, efficient point-to-point and pointto-multipoint networks are readily configured using
direct peer-to-peer transmissions.
The DNT24MC/MP provides a variety of hardware interfaces. There are two serial ports plus one SPI port.
Either the primary serial port or the SPI port can be
selected for data communications. The second serial
port is dedicated to diagnostics. The primary and diagnostic serial ports support most standard baud rates
up to 250.0 kbps. The SPI port supports data rates up
to 500 kbps. The DNT24MC/MP also includes three
ADC inputs, two DAC outputs, and six general-purpose digital I/O ports. Four of the digital I/O ports support an optional interrupt-from-sleep mode when
configured as inputs. The radio is available in two
mounting configurations. The DNT24MC is designed
for solder reflow mounting. The DNT24MP is designed
for plug-in connector mounting.

DNT24MC/MP firmware provides the user with a rich
set of configuration options including a choice of hopping patterns, serial and/or SPI data port operation,
serial and SPI data rate selection, RF output power
selection, plus configurable analog and digital I/O
lines.
Data integrity is protected by 24-bit error detection,
with optional ACK and automatic transmission retries
or redundant transmissions. 128-bit AES encryption
provides a high level of data security for sensitive
applications. Sensor networks can take advantage of
timer or event-based data reporting and remote node
sleep cycling for extended battery life.

DNT24MC/MP I/O Descriptions
Pin
Name
I/O
1
GND
-
ACT
(DIAG_TX)
O
(O)
This pin’s default configuration is transmitter activity (ACT) output. The ACT signal is asserted whenever
any data packet other than just an ACK is transmitted. The alternate function for this pin is the diagnostic
serial port output.
/DCD
(DIAG_RX)
O
(I)
The /DCD signal is asserted when a DNT24M receives a valid packet. If a radio is transmitting data and
receiving ACKs, both the ACT and /DCD signals will be asserted. If a radio is receiving packets only, the
/DCD signal will be asserted. The alternate function for this pin is the diagnostic serial port input.
I/O
Configurable digital I/O port 0. When configured as an input, an internal pull-up resistor can be selected
and direct interrupt from sleep can be invoked. When configured as an output, the power-on state is
configurable. In sleep mode the pin direction, input pull-up selection or output state are also separately
configurable.

7
GPOI4
(/HOST_CTS)
I/O
(O)
Default pin function is GPIO4 with the same configuration options as GPIO0. Alternate pin function is
UART/SPI flow control output. The module sets this line low when it is ready to accept data from the host
on the RADIO_RXD or MOSI input. When the line goes high, the host must stop sending data.
8
GPOI5
(/HOST_RTS)
I/O
(I)
Default pin function is GPIO5 with the same configuration options as GPIO0. Alternate pin function is
UART/SPI flow control input. The host sets this line low to allow data to flow from the module on
the RADIO_TXD pin. When the host sets this line high, the module will stop sending data to the host.
9
DAC0
O
12-bit DAC 0 output. Full scale output can be referenced to the voltage at pin 25 or the 3.3 V regulated
module bus voltage.

master.

ADC0
I
ADC input 0. This pin is a direct ADC input when the ADC is operating in single-ended mode, or the differential negative input for positive inputs applied to ADC1 or ADC2 when the ADC is operating in differential
mode. Full-scale reading can be referenced to Pin 25 for ratiometric measurements. For absolute measurements, the ADC can use either the regulated supply voltage divided by 1.6 (about 2.06 V), or an external voltage applied to Pin 25. In single-ended mode, ADC measurements are 11-bit unsigned values
with full scale nominally 2.7 V when referenced to a 2.7 V input on Pin 27. In differential mode, ADC measurements are 12-bit signed values.
19
ADC1
I
ADC input 1. Direct input when the ADC is operating in single-ended mode, positive differential input relative to ADC0 when the ADC is operating in differential mode.
20
MISO
I/O
This pin is the SPI master mode input or slave mode output.
21
MOSI
I/O
This pin is the SPI master mode output or slave mode input.
22
/SS
I/O
SPI active low slave select. This pin is an output when the module is operating as a master, and an input
when it is operating as a slave.
23

I/O
SPI clock signal. This pin is an output when operating as a master, and an input when operating as
a slave.

DNT24MC/MP Antenna Connector
A U.FL miniature coaxial connector is provided on both DNT24MC and DNT24MP configurations for connection to
the RFIO port. A short U.FL coaxial cable can be used to connect the RFIO port directly to an antenna. In this
case the antenna should be mounted firmly to avoid stressing the U.FL coaxial cable due to antenna mounting
flexure. Alternately, a U.FL coaxial jumper cable can be used to connect the DNT24MC/MP module to a U.FL
connector on the host circuit board. The connection between the host circuit board U.FL connector and the antenna or antenna connector on the host circuit board should be implemented as a 50 ohm stripline. Referring to
Figure 2, the width of this stripline depends on the thickness of the circuit board between the stripline and the
groundplane. For FR-4 type circuit board materials (dielectric constant of 4.7), the width of the stripline is equal to
1.75 times the thickness of the circuit board. Note that other circuit board traces should be spaced away from the
stripline to prevent signal coupling, as shown in Figure 3. The stripline trace should be kept short to minimize its
insertion loss.
