IEEE® 802.15.4
Our Wireless Portfolio
Our portfolio of 802.15.4 platforms lets the
developer choose the best platform for their
technical requirements and cost objectives.
Whether they simply need to add a wireless
transceiver to their existing design or create
stand-alone wireless functionality, Freescale
has the solution to meet their needs.

IEEE 802.15.4 provides a solid foundation for
wireless control and monitoring applications,
enabling developers to take their applications
to new levels of functionality. However, with
this increased functionality comes increased
complexity for the developer. Freescale steps
in with an extensive portfolio of development
kits based on our 802.15.4 platforms.

IEEE 802.15.4 MAC, SynkroRF, BeeStack
Consumer (ZigBee RF4CE) and BeeStack
(ZigBee/ZigBee Pro) protocol stacks. These
give developers the flexibility to build products
optimized for different features, such as cost,
performance, complexity and interoperability.
Freescale solutions are delivered in
conjunction with our BeeKit Wireless
Connectivity Toolkit. The BeeKit provides a
simple GUI approach to configure network
settings, allowing the embedded designer
to concentrate on building the application.
BeeKit offers a graphical user interface that
includes codebases for our IEEE 802.15.4

Freescale development kits and may also be
downloaded at freescale.com. All protocol
stacks are complimentary.
SMAC
SMAC is a simple and cost-effective start to
wireless networking. Based on the 802.15.4
PHY, it provides commands to create simple
point-to-point and star networks. The small
2.5–4 KB code size allows a low-cost platform
for many applications requiring simple but
effective wireless communication.
beaconed networks and guaranteed
time (GTS)
• Supports peer-to-peer, star and
mesh networks
SynkroRF
Synkro RF is optimized for very quick design
cycles and an easy to follow design process.
When SMAC is too simple and ZigBee is too
complex, designers have the opportunity to
utilize Synkro RF for proprietary 802.15.4
wireless monitoring and control. The network
stack allows for application development with
the API which uses the embedded processor
running SynkroRF or the BlackBox which
provides access to the complete API through
a serial command set. Enhanced functionality
includes features such as channel agility,
larger data transfer with fragmentation, and
BeeKit helps reduce development time for
low latency transmission. SynkroRF is the
developers lacking extensive networking
alternative when interoperability is not required.

Freescale offers a full set of hardware
platforms for evaluation of the cost-effective
MC1323X system-on-chip (SoC) solutions.
Designers may choose the hardware and
software platform that achieves their design
goals. The newest SoC product family
integrates the 2.4 GHz transceiver, HCS08
series MCU, memory and input/output (I/O)
in a single package. The 8-bit integrated
alternative allows easy implementation of
cost-effective solutions for those familiar with
the HCS08 family and for those just starting
out with embedded wireless design.

• Battery connectors
• Eight direction plus select joystick (RCM)
• Test points
MC1323X family development kits are built
on three modular boards, each of which offer
features and functions targeted at consumer
electronics applications. The modular boards
are assembled into specific configurations to
allow straightforward system development.
The modularity of the solutions offers
designers the opportunity to select specific
structures (using reference design materials
and content) for direct implementation into
their end systems, thereby reducing design
time and associated costs.
