ZWIR4512
ZWIR4512 is Secure Low-Power Wireless IPv6 Module manufactured by Renesas.
Secure Low-Power Wireless IPv6 Module
ZWIR4512 Datasheet
Description
The ZWIR4512 enables secure low-power wireless IPv6 munication for sensors and small devices. IDT provides a userprogrammable, royalty-free 6Lo WPAN stack with mesh routing capability with the ZWIR4512. 6Lo WPAN is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard for building wireless, low-power IPbased sensor, and device networks. These networks can easily be integrated into existing IT infrastructure or operate autonomously.
Secure munication is provided by standard-pliant implementations of the Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) protocol suite and the Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2), which enable highly secure end-to-end munication, including over unsecure network nodes.
The module is powered by an ARM® Cortex™-M3 (ARM, Ltd. trademark) microcontroller and provides a rich set of GPIO and peripheral interfaces. Up to 192k B of flash and 32k B of RAM are available for applications. Different low power modes are provided to save energy in battery-operated devices. The modules provide superior radio properties without the need for plicated external RF design.
