Introduction to Zero -G

Introduction to Zero - G

• Connect your embedded system products to the Wireless fidelity or Wi-Fi

• Connect to a host Microcontroller via a SPI serial interface.

• Use minimal resouce to run.• Easy to use and installation and cost-effective

Introduction to Zero -G

• Software and hardware incorporate the Microchip TCP/IP networking stack

• Compatible with 8/16/32-bit product families PIC18®, PIC24®, PIC32® and dsPIC

•Development kits consist of Microchip development tools and software, ZeroG drivers and example application code

Introduction to Zero -G

• Power-saving modes are optimized for long battery life. Battery life lasts as long as 10 years for "once-a-day-wake-up"

• Wireless architecture optimized for applications with low duty cycles and low bandwidth

• The chip automatically goes on standby in between receive and transmitsessions, along with a "fast wake-up" call at the receipt of packet.

The Wi-Fi I/O automatically reduces power without intervention from host MCU No-host polling allows the host MCU to shut down while the chip remains active

The chip wakes up the host MCU at the receipt of data packets

• In many applications, the Wi-Fi I/O does not require the addition of external memory or an operating system, reducing overall systempower consumption.

Introduction to Zero -G

• On-chip hardware security accelerators for WEP/WPA/WPA2 reduce memory footprint and offloads host processor cycles

• On-chip MAC layer reduces cycles done by host processor

• No external memory required to run the Wi-Fi I/O. The host RAM requirement is as little as 2.8kB

• The Easy-Fi[tm] suite includes a very small and easily ported driver with a footprint that uses as little as a few hundred bytes of RAMfrom a host microcontroller, and less than 10kB of ROM.

• The driver includes a comprehensive suite of commands that allow it to easily run in small or no OS systems.

Introduction to Zero -G

• Supports low-cost 8-bit microcontrollers. ZeroG also support systems that use 16- or 32-bit MCUs.

• Add Wi-Fi without adding an OS and support an already existing OS

•No additional memory to integrate Wi-Fi

• Production modules will be shipped with certification from FCC, Japan and Canadian regulatory bodies across a variety ofantenna configurations. Pre-scan data that is required for ETSI certification will also be available.
