NXP has created the most complete set of hardware platforms for evaluating the MC1322x Platform in Package™ (PiP), allowing the developer to select the hardware and software platform that best meets their needs. The development boards include LEDs, push buttons, connectors, header pins and a programming/debug port. The boards can be powered by batteries, a DC adapter or the USB port. The JTAG port allows easy programming of the MC1322x flash memory via the J-link JTAG debugger, which enables the users to program the MCU with a variety of sample applications included with the BeeKit software. The MC1322x development kits are the ideal platform for more complex IEEE® 802.15.4 and ZigBee applications by providing plenty of memory and expansion capabilities.

The MC1322x family is NXP’s third-generation ZigBee platform which incorporates a complete, low power, 2.4 GHz radio frequency transceiver, 32-bit ARM7 core based MCU, hardware acceleration for both the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and AES security, and a full set of MCU peripherals into a 99-pin LGA Platform-in-Package (PiP).The MC1322x solution can be used for wireless applications ranging from simple proprietary point-to-point connectivity to complete ZigBee mesh networking. The MC1322x is designed to provide a highly integrated, total solution, with premier processing capabilities and very low power consumption.

The MC1322x MCU resources offer superior processing power for ZigBee applications. A full 32-bit ARM7TDMI-S core operates up to 26 MHz. A 128Kbyte FLASH memory is mirrored into a 96 Kbyte RAM for upper stack and applications software. In addition, an 80 Kbyte ROM is available for boot software, standardized IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and communications stack software. A full set of peripherals and Direct Memory Access (DMA) capability for transceiver packet data complement the processor core.
