ZigBee™
PICDEM Z
The PICDEM Z Demo Kit is designed to demonstrate the
Microchip solution for the ZigBee™ protocol by using Micro-
chip’s very own MRF24J40 transceiver. Included are two
ZigBee nodes – each preprogrammed with demo Coordinator
and Reduced Function Device (RFD) applications.
ZENA
TM
ZENA™ wireless network analyzer tool uses a simple graphical
interface to configure the free Microchip ZigBee™ and MiWi™
protocol stacks. This enables customers to reduce the code
size of the stacks by removing optional features; cuts devel-
opment time by simplifying the interactions with the stacks;
and allows customization of the stack to fit a particular need.
FREE Software Stack (no-cost license and royalty free)
Microchip offers the smallest and only free ZigBee™ Stack,
enabling lower development and system costs.
■ Zero-cost-license and royalty-free ZigBee™ protocol stack
■ Efficient footprint for entire ZigBee™ protocol
■ Source-code format, allowing designers to customize
their products
■ Utilize Microchip’s broad portfolio of compatible

MiWi
TM
Microchip also supports a free MiWi™ protocol stack for
IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networking ideal for cost-sensitive
applications with limited memory. MiWi™ protocol is a free,
small footprint protocol developed by Microchip for customers
who do not require ZigBee™ protocol interoperability but want
to use IEEE 802.15.4 transceivers in simple low-cost peer-to-
peer, star and mesh networks. No certification is required and
the protocol stack is provided under a free license when using
Microchips microcontrollers and MRF24J40 transceiver.
