1. Introduction
The JN5142-x01-Myy module family provides designers with a ready-made component that provides a fully
integrated solution for applications using the IEEE802.15.4 standard in the 2.4 - 2.5GHz ISM frequency band [1],
including RF4CE. A later version of the JN5142 will provide support for JenNet-IP “Smart Device” applications such
as lighting.
Applications that transfer data wirelessly tend to be more complex than wired ones. Wireless protocols make
stringent demands on frequencies, data formats, timing of data transfers, security and other issues. Application
development must consider the requirements of the wireless network in addition to the product functionality and user
interfaces. To minimise this complexity, NXP provides a series of software libraries and interfaces that control the
transceiver and peripherals of the JN5142. These libraries and interfaces remove the need for the developer to
understand wireless protocols and greatly simplifies the programming complexities of power modes, interrupts and
hardware functionality.
In view of the above, it is not necessary to provide the register details of the JN5142 in the datasheet.
The device includes a Wireless Transceiver, RISC CPU, on chip memory and an extensive range of peripherals.
The modules integrate all of the RF components required, removing the need to perform expensive RF design and
test. Products can be designed by simply connecting sensors and switches to the module IO pins. The modules use
an NXP single chip IEEE802.15.4 Wireless Microcontroller, allowing designers to make use of the extensive chip
development support material. Hence, this range of modules allows designers to bring wireless applications to
market in the minimum time with significantly reduced development effort and cost.
Two variants are available: JN5142-x01-M00 (standard module with integral antenna) and the JN5142-x01-M03
(standard module with uFL connector for use with external antennae). All modules have FCC modular approvals and
are compliant with EU regulations. The variants available are described below.
1.1. Variants
1.2. Regulatory Approvals
All module types have been tested against the requirements of European standard EN 300 328 v1.7.1 and a Notified
Body statement of opinion for this standard is available on request.
Additionally, all module types have received FCC “Modular Approvals”, in compliance with CFR 47 FCC part 15
regulations and in accordance to FCC Public notice DA00-1407, appendix A.7 contains details on the conditions
applying to this modular approval. The modules are approved for use with a range of different antennas; further
details of which can be found in section Appendix A.7.1. The modular approvals notice and test reports are available
on request.
In addition, all modules have Industry Canada modular approval and RSS210e Issue 7 (June 2007) certification.
