The MC13202 is a short range, low power, 2.4 GHz
Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band
transceivers. The MC13202 contains a complete
802.15.4 physical layer (PHY) modem designed for the
IEEE
®
802.15.4 Standard which supports peer-to-peer,
star, and mesh networking.
The MC13202 includes the 802.15.4 PHY/MAC for use
with the HCS08 Family of MCUs. The MC13202 can be
used with Freescale’s IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and
BeeStack, which is Freescale’s ZigBee
®
compliant
protocol stack.
When combined with an appropriate microcontroller
(MCU), the MC13202 provides a cost-effective solution
for short-range data links and networks. Interface with
the MCU is accomplished using a four wire serial
peripheral interface (SPI) connection and an interrupt
request output which allows for the use of a variety of
processors. The software and processor can be scaled to
fit applications ranging from simple point-to-point
systems, through complete ZigBee networking. For
Freescale reserves the right to change the detail specifications as may be required to permit improvements in the design of its
products.

more detailed information about MC13202 operation, refer to the
MC13202 Reference Manual,
(MC13202RM).
Applications include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Residential and commercial automation
— Lighting control
— Security
— Access control
— Heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (HVAC)
— Automated meter reading (AMR)
• Industrial Control
— Asset tracking and monitoring
— Homeland security
— Process management
— Environmental monitoring and control
— HVAC
— Automated meter reading
• Health Care
— Patient monitoring
— Fitness monitoring
• Consumer
— Human interface devices (keyboard, mice, etc.)
— Remote control
— Wireless toys
The transceiver includes a low noise amplifier, 1.0 mW power amplifiers (PA), onboard RF
transmit/receive (T/R) switch for single port use, PLL with internal voltage controlled oscillator (VCO),
on-board power supply regulation, and full spread-spectrum encoding and decoding. The device supports
250 kbps Offset-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK) data in 2.0 MHz channels with 5.0 MHz
channel spacing per the 802.15.4 Standard. The SPI port and interrupt request output are used for receive
(RX) and transmit (TX) data transfer and control.

Figure 2
shows the basic system block diagram for the MC13202 in an application. Interface with the
transceiver is accomplished through a 4-wire SPI port and interrupt request line. The media access control
(MAC), drivers, and network and application software (as required) reside on the host processor. The host
can vary from a simple 8-bit device up to a sophisticated 32-bit processor depending on application
requirements.

Data Transfer Modes
The MC13202 has two data transfer modes:
1. Packet Mode — Data is buffered in on-chip RAM
2. Streaming Mode — Data is processed word-by-word
The Freescale 802.15.4 MAC software only supports the streaming mode of data transfer. For proprietary
applications, packet mode can be used to conserve MCU resources.

Packet Structure
Figure 3
shows the packet structure of the MC13202. Payloads of up to 125 bytes are supported. The
MC13202 adds a four-byte preamble, a one-byte Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD), and a one-byte Frame
Length Indicator (FLI) before the data. A Frame Check Sequence (FCS) is calculated and appended to the
end of the data.
