ZigBee module introduction–TYZS3-IPEX

1. Product overview

​ The TYZS3-IPEX is a low-power, embedded Zigbee module developed by Hangzhou Tuya Information Technology Co., Ltd. The module consists of a EFR32MG13P732 highly integrated wireless RF processor chip and a small number of peripheral devices. It has a built-in 802.15.4 PHY/MAC Zigbee network protocol and a large number of library functions. The TYZS3-IPEX embeds a low-power 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 core, 512KByte Flash program memory, 64KB RAM data memory, and a wealth of peripheral resources.
​ The TYZS3-IPEX is a FreeRTOS platform that gathers all Zigbee MAC and TCP/IP libraries into one place. It enables users to build on the product and develop embedded Zigbee products that suit their individual needs.

Description: P indicates the power pin; I/O indicates the input/output pin; AI indicates analog input pin.
​ nRST is only the module hardware reset pin; it cannot clear Zigbee net-pairing information.
​ (1): This pin can only be used as an ADC port. It cannot be used as a normal IO port. If it is not used, it needs to be left floating.
​ As an ADC input, the input voltage range is limited to 0-AVDD and can be configured by software.

5. Antenna signal

5.1 Antenna type

​ An external antenna can be connected via the Ipex connector for extended coverage in complex installation environments.

5.2 Antenna interference reduction

​ To optimize Zigbee performance of the wireless module in combination with the PCB onboard antenna, it is recommended to keep the antenna at least 15mm from other metal parts. It is recommended that the corresponding antenna area of the adapter board be hollowed out for the best effect.
​ The user PCB board should not be routed around the antenna area and should not be covered with copper to avoid affecting the antenna radiation performance.
​ For the module PCB onboard antenna area, refer to Figure 3 “TYZS3-IPEX mechanical dimensional drawing” below.
