EM3588-M-AN-C

TS8 EMBER EM3X MODULE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Silicon Labs EM3x development kits contain various modules designed around the EM3x family of ICs. All of these modules are designed and sold by Silicon Labs module partners Telegesis (UK) Limited and California Eastern Laboratories (CEL). The module designs allow them to be integrated into any product without the need for RF experience and expertise. Utilizing stacks such as Silicon Labs certified ZigBee network stack EmberZNet, these modules enable a developer to add powerful wireless networking capability to products and quickly bring them to market. This document provides the technical specification of the EM3x modules on its Silicon Labs-specific carrier board. For more information on the other Telegesis modules, contact Telegesis, Ltd directly at www.telegesis.com. For more information on other CEL modules, contact CEL directly at meshconnect.cel.com.

Silicon Labs provides the CEL EM357 and EM3588 module types with the EM35x Development Kit (part number EM35X-DEV) and the EM341 and EM346 modules with the EM34x Development Kit (part number EM34X-DEV). For modules whose RF connection is a mini-RF connector, an RF adapter cable (Tyco/Amp part number 2032440- 1) can be used to interface the module to external test equipment. One of these RF adapter cables is included with the development kits. To connect to the EM35x breakout board (Silicon Labs P/N: 130-0680-000), each module shown in Table 1 is soldered to a small carrier board. The carrier board connector is discussed in section 5.1, EM3x Module Interface Connector. 2 Rev. 1.4
