DESCRIPTION
SmartMesh WirelessHART wireless sensor networks are
self managing, low power networks built from wireless
nodes called motes. The
LTP™5900-WHM
is the 22-pin
WirelessHART mote product in the Eterna
®
* family of
IEEE 802.15.4 printed circuit board assembly solutions,
featuring a highly-integrated, low power radio design
by Dust Networks
®
as well as an ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit
microprocessor running Dust’s embedded SmartMesh
WirelessHART networking software. The LTP5900-WHM
provides a forward compatible solution for customers
using Dust Networks M2510 PCB module.
With Dust’s time-synchronized WirelessHART networks,
all motes in the network may route, source or terminate
data, while providing many years of battery powered op-
eration. The SmartMesh WirelessHART software provided
with the LTP5900-WHM is fully tested and validated, and
is readily configured via a software Application Program-
ming Interface (API).
SmartMesh WirelessHART motes deliver a highly flexible
network with proven reliability and low power performance
in an easy-to-integrate platform.

MMCX (Note 5)
A MMCX-compatible male connector is provided on board for the antenna connection.
The antenna must meet the following specifications. For a list of FCC-approved antennae, see the FCC-Approved Antennae section.
When the mote is placed inside an enclosure, the antenna should be mounted such that the radiating portion of the antenna protrudes from the enclosure.
The antenna should be connected using a MMCX connector on a coaxial cable. For optimum performance, the antenna should be positioned vertically
when installed.
Note 1:
The absolute maximum ratings shown should not be violated
under any circumstances. Permanent damage to the device may be caused
by exceeding one or more of these parameters.
Note 2:
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. ESD protection
devices are used extensively internal to the LTP5900. However, high
electrostatic discharge can damage or degrade the device. Use proper ESD
handling precautions.
Note 3:
The duration of doze time and “on” time is determined by the
joinDutyCycle command in the mote serial API. Refer to the SmartMesh
WirelessHART Mote Serial API Guide for details.
Note 4:
Actual RF range performance is subject to a number of
installation-specific variables including, but not restricted to ambient
temperature, relative humidity, presence of active interference sources,
line-of-sight obstacles, near-presence of objects (for example, trees, walls,
signage, and so on) that may induce multipath fading. As a result, actual
performance varies for each instance.
Note 5:
1 meter above ground.
Note 6:
The LTP5900-WHM can accommodate the following RF mating
connectors: MMCX straight connector such as Johnson 135-3402-001,
or equivalent; MMCX right angle connector such as Tyco 1408149-1, or
equivalent.
Note 7:
Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
PIN FUNCTIONS
V
SS
(Pin 1):
Ground. I/O type = power.

state in Deep Sleep = V
DD
. Deep Sleep is the lowest pos-
sible power state, with V
DD
and GND connected. The mote
microprocessor and radio are inactive, and the mote must
be awakened using the
RST
signal (for more information

No Connection.
MT_RTS (Pin 7):
UART Active Low Mote Ready to Send.
I/O type = 1. Direction = Out. Pin state in Deep Sleep = V
DD
.
Deep Sleep is the lowest possible power state, with V
DD
and GND connected. The mote microprocessor and radio
are inactive, and the mote must be awakened using the
RST
signal (for more information see the lowPowerSleep
command in the WirelessHART Mote Serial API Guide).
MT_CTS (Pin 8):
UART Active Low External Processor
Clear to Send. I/O type = 1. Direction = Out. Pin state
in Deep Sleep = V
DD
. Deep Sleep is the lowest possible
power state, with V
DD
and GND connected. The mote mi-
croprocessor and radio are inactive, and the mote must
be awakened using the
RST
signal (for more information
see the lowPowerSleep command in the WirelessHART
Mote Serial API Guide).
SP_CTS (Pin 9):
UART Active Low Serial Peripheral Clear
to Send. I/O type = 1. Direction = In.
TIME
(Pin 10):
Falling Edge Time Request. I/O type = 1.
Direction = In. The
TIME
input pin is optional, and must
either be driven or pulled up with a 5.1M resistor. Unless
noted otherwise, all signals are active low.
MODE_PIN_B (Pin 11):
Selects Between Mode 1 and
Mode 3 Operation. I/O type = 1. Direction = In.
FLASH_P_EN (Pin 12):
Active Low Flash Power Enable.
I/O Type = 1. Direction = In.
SCK (Pin 17):
SPI Clock. I/O type = 1. Direction = In.

PIN FUNCTIONS
MOSI (Pin 18):
SPI Master Out Slave In Serial Data. I/O
type = 1. Direction = In.
MISO (Pin 19):
SPI Master In Slave Out Serial Data. I/O
type = 1. Direction = Out.
SPI_CS (Pin 21):
Active Low Flash Chip Select. I/O type
= 1. Direction = In.
RST
(Pin 22):
Active Low Reset. I/O type = 1. Direction
= In. The
RST
input pin is internally pulled up and con-
necting it is optional. When driven active low, the mote is
hardware reset until the signal is de-asserted. Refer to the
Power-On Sequence section for timing requirements on the
RST
pin. Note that the mote may also be reset using the
mote serial command (see the SmartMesh WirelessHART
Mote Serial API Guide).
