Overview

FCC Approved
Panasonic, a worldwide leader in Wireless Products introduces the NEW PAN4561M Series of Mesh Networking RF Modules. These cost engineered modules are designed for applications up to 800 feet in range and are optimized to deliver longer range while conserving power consumption, using both a noise amplifier and 10db power amplifier. PAN4561M modules are medium range alternatives to Panasonic's original extended range PAN4561 Series devices.

The PAN4561M Series can be transformed from simple point-to-point proprietary devices to complex mesh networks by choosing from an array of simple firmware options. Fully featured with 39 I/O lines, sharing a common 62-pin footprint and software, each model hosts the FreeScale MC13213 Software-on-a-chip (SOC), using the same eight-bit GT60 processor as Panasonic's popular PAN4555 and making the product family application-compatible. Optional Synapse SNAP® firmware provides a highly flexible, industry-leading solution for mesh networking with a complete network development environment. Multiple antenna options are available. The Series has FCC, IC, and ETSI certifications.

Freescale's MC13213 is included with the module, SMAC, MAC or Freescale Bee-Stack. There is no additional license fee per module by using the Freescale Bee-Stack, only a one time general support fee ($500) for the Bee-Stack to be paid to Freescale.

Mode Definitions and Transition Times for saving battery life can be seen in the data sheet MC1321x. The derivative MC13212 and MC13211 as well as a non-PA/LNA version are available on request.

Dimensions & Pin Layout:

Note:
The pin names of the module and the initial MC1321x names fit to each other.
All unmentioned pins are not connected and must be left open.
