The Qorvo GP490 Zigbee Home Automation Communications Controller is a System-on-Chip that provides a fully integrated solution for ultra-low power wireless communications for Zigbee Smart Home end node applications. It is compliant with the IEEE Standard 802.15.4, providing robust spread spectrum data communication with a secure encrypted data flow.
The GP490 features a radio transceiver, integrated real-time Medium Access Control processor, integrated microcontroller, security engine, event scheduler, advanced power management features, memory and an extensive set of peripherals. The integrated RF filtering simplifies the RF design complexity enabling very low cost single layer applications using simple PCB antennas requiring no shielding and a minimum number of external components.
Advanced power management features ensure that power consumption is minimized in both active and standby states.
The GP490 application layer is programmable. It can communicate with external peripherals via UART, SPI, TWI or direct signal interfaces.
