zigbee master slave

Hi,

I am developing one of the Zigbee based project and i need your help in selecting the right micro based on below points:

1) first micro which should be less power consumption (battery operated), it should be UART interfaced and i should interface IRLED for this, the PIC Micro should be efficient enough and easily avlb in market. --- which series or part number is suitable for this.

2) this is my second requirement --- This PIC should be capable enough to program the OS i.e MicroC/OS-ii and UART interfacable and connected to Zigbee module.

and also i will be interfacing the Zigbee module to these 2 devices so i need your suggestion in selecting the Zigbee module also.

i.e one will act as master and other willl act as Slave.

Hi,

Have you taken a look at SOCs like the CC2530 from TI?

http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/cc2530.html

They offer the radio and an MCU in the same package so very low power consumption.

Hi Elias,

Thanks for your valuable feed back.

this is ok but i need the Mcos/OS-ii os to be run on the Master device for which proper Micro has to be selected hence i was interested in Microchip products which supports Porting of OS and also there is quite good support from Microchip.

Hi Bheema,

Do you need the OS to run only on the master or also on the slaves?

Otherwise you would just connect a SOC with a MCU on the master and use only the SOC on the slaves to save space and power.

This really depends on the implementation on the slave of course but this type of setup is not uncommon.

Hi Elias,

I need OS to be run on Master only and slaves will run individually

Hi Bheema,

In that case I would definitely consider the SOCs TI is offering and just use an additional PIC on the master for the OS implementation.

But check of course the specs you need first and compare other chips as TI is not the only manufacturer of such ICs.
