ZW0301 System-on-Chip Solution

Z-Wave is available as a Single Chip solution, with the latest ZW0301 representing the third generation of Z-Wave Single Chip technology.

The Z-Wave mesh network protocol stack is embedded in the chips, and Flash memory is available to the manufacturer/OEM for their own application software.

A set of on-chip peripherals makes the Z-Wave chips true systems on chip solutions.

To ensure smooth and rapid product development, Z-Wave development kits and Modules are available, along with a range of volume production-qualified manufacturing blueprints of the PCB circuitry surrounding the Z-Wave Single Chip. Many OEM products and platforms incorporating Z-Wave are available from partners in the Z-Wave Alliance, significantly reducing the cost, effort, and time to market for a rich home control product line.

Additionally, tools are available that simplify the integration with Microsoft platforms such as Windows XP, Vista, .NET and Windows CE/ Mobile

Battery Powered Networks

With the ZW0301 Single Chip solution, Z-Wave is the first standard to enable battery-to-battery networks.

Exciting new applications are now possible, such as smoke detectors that can trigger other detectors throughout the home, as well as an external alarm.

Motorised curtains and blinds can now be driven, as well as controlled, by battery power. Battery-operated door locks are now feasible.

Z-Wave Mesh Networking

One of the key features of the Z-Wave technology is the routing capability of all the nodes in the network.

Z-Wave automatically routes the signal from one node to the next, around obstacles and radio dead spots.

The result is vastly improved reliability and assured whole-house coverage.
