ZWIR4512
Datasheet
Secure Low-Power Wireless IPv6 Module
Hardware Features
Description
The ZWIR4512 enables secure low-power wireless IPv6 com-
munication for sensors and small devices. IDT provides a user-
programmable, royalty-free 6LoWPAN stack with mesh routing
capability with the ZWIR4512. 6LoWPAN is an Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) standard for building wireless, low-power IP-
based sensor, and device networks. These networks can easily be
integrated into existing IT infrastructure or operate autonomously.

License-free 868/915MHz frequency bands
ARM® Cortex™-M3 32-bit microcontroller
192kB flash and 32kB RAM for user applications
Unique EUI64 address
4 channels in EU mode; 10 channels in US mode
19 (ZWIR4512AC1) or 21 (ZWIR4512AC2) GPIOs with
multiplexed peripheral functions:
Secure communication is provided by standard-compliant imple-
mentations of the Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) protocol suite
and the Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2), which
enable highly secure end-to-end communication, including over
unsecure network nodes.

Low current consumption: 3.5µA in Standby Mode; 10.5mA in
Receive Mode; 16.0mA in Transmit Mode at 0dBm
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 192kB of flash and 32kB 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 complicated external
RF design.
