Key Features

 IEEE 802.15.4 compliant PHY and Real-Time MAC

 Operates in the worldwide 2.4 GHz ISM-band

 Excellent range by antenna diversity: 8 dB more reliable

link budget compared to single antenna

 Additional robustness by packet-in-packet

resynchronization

 Hardware accelerated AES and CCM* encryption with

128, 192 and 256-bit keys

 XAP5™ 16/32-bits high performance microcontroller

 120 or 192 or 248 Kbyte Flash Program memory

 8 or 16 Kbyte Low Leakage Retention RAM

 Integrated ZigBee RF4CE Network layer

 Integrated standard or vendor-specific RF4CE Profile for

controller node

 Extremely low standby power consumption

 Supporting intermitted energy sources and coin cell

batteries

 4 LED generator with individual PWM support

 Full internal IO pull-up / pull-down support during active

and standby states

Low Cost

The GP565 is designed to operate on very low cost, single

layer, paper phenol like PCB material using only low cost

components and printed circuit antennas. No expensive

shielding, chip antennas or voltage regulators are required to

design a high performance Remote Control application. The

integrated microcontroller and program memory allow for fully

integrated,

single

chip

applications

and

the

integrated

Real-Time MAC greatly reduces software complexity and

improves stability.

Excellent Range and Reliability

The GP565 has been optimized for reliable communication in

harsh radio environments. The -96 dBm receiver sensitivity

allows extended coverage. Built-in antenna diversity with two

antennas improves the reliable link budget by 8 dB resulting in

approximately twice the reliable range compared to similar

systems with only one antenna. In high density networks the

packet-in-packet

resynchronization

further

improves

the

communication reliability.

Ultra-Low Power Consumption

The GP565

’s advanced integrated energy management system

allows it to operate from a standard lithium coin cell battery, like

the CR2032, as well as from intermittent power supplies like

photovoltaic (solar) and electro-mechanical, with a minimum of

additional components. It includes ultra-low power voltage level

detectors and overvoltage protection circuitry, allowing safe

operation and graceful shutdown. The battery lifetime monitor

tracks the usage of the battery and provides an early

exhaustion warning.
