The MC13192 is a short range, low power, 2.4 GHz
Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band
transceivers. The MC13192 contains a complete
802.15.4 physical layer (PHY) modem designed for the
IEEE
®
802.15.4 Standard which supports peer-to-peer,
star, and mesh networking.
The MC13192 includes the 802.15.4 PHY/MAC for use
with the HCS08 Family of MCUs. The MC13192 can be
used with Freescale’s IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and
BeeStack, which is Freescale’s ZigBee 2006 compliant
protocol stack.
When combined with an appropriate microcontroller
(MCU), the MC13192 provide a cost-effective solution
for short-range data links and networks. Interface with
the MCU is accomplished using a four wire serial
peripheral interface (SPI) connection and an interrupt
request output which allows for the use of a variety of
processors. The software and processor can be scaled to
fit applications ranging from simple point-to-point
systems, through complete ZigBee™ networking.
Freescale reserves the right to change the detail specifications as may be required to permit improvements in the design of its
products.

• Remote control and wire replacement in industrial systems such as wireless sensor networks
• Factory automation and motor control
• Energy Management (lighting, HVAC, etc.)
• Asset tracking and monitoring
Potential consumer applications include:
• Home automation and control (lighting, thermostats, etc.)
• Human interface devices (keyboard, mice, etc.)
• Remote control
• Wireless toys
The transceiver includes a low noise amplifier, 1.0 mW power amplifier (PA), PLL with internal voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO), on-board power supply regulation, and full spread-spectrum encoding and
decoding. The device supports 250 kbps Offset-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK) data in 2.0
MHz channels with 5.0 MHz channel spacing per the 802.15.4 Standard. The SPI port and interrupt request

Figure 2
shows the basic system block diagram for the MC13192 in an application. Interface with the
transceiver is accomplished through a 4-wire SPI port and interrupt request line. The media access control
(MAC), drivers, and network and application software (as required) reside on the host processor. The host
can vary from a simple 8-bit device up to a sophisticated 32-bit processor depending on application
requirements.

Data Transfer Modes

Data Transfer Modes
The MC13192 has two data transfer modes:
1. Packet Mode — Data is buffered in on-chip RAM
2. Streaming Mode — Data is processed word-by-word
The Freescale 802.15.4 MAC software only supports the streaming mode of data transfer. For proprietary
applications, packet mode can be used to conserve MCU resources.

Preamble

Figure 3
shows the packet structure of the MC13192. Payloads of up to 125 bytes are supported. The
MC13192 adds a four-byte preamble, a one-byte Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD), and a one-byte Frame
Length Indicator (FLI) before the data. A two-byte Frame Check Sequence (FCS) is calculated and
appended to the end of the data.

Receive Path Description
In the receive signal path, the RF input is converted to low IF In-phase and Quadrature (I & Q) signals
through two down-conversion stages. A Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) can be performed based upon
the baseband energy integrated over a specific time interval. The digital back end performs Differential
Chip Detection (DCD), the correlator “de-spreads” the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Offset
QPSK (O-QPSK) signal, determines the symbols and packets, and detects the data.
The preamble, SFD, and FLI are parsed and used to detect the payload data and FCS which are stored in
RAM. A two-byte FCS is calculated on the received data and compared to the FCS value appended to the
transmitted data, which generates a Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) result. Link Quality is measured
over a 64 µs period after the packet preamble and stored in RAM.
If the MC13192 is in packet mode, the data is processed as an entire packet. The MCU is notified that an
entire packet has been received via an interrupt.
If the MC13192 is in streaming mode, the MCU is notified by an interrupt on a word-by-word basis.
Figure 4
shows CCA reported power level versus input power. Note that CCA reported power saturates at
about -57 dBm input power which is well above 802.15.4 Standard requirements.
