1. General Description The RDZM-T24FZ is a Zigbee IEEE 802.15.4 RF transceiver for the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM band. This chip enables industrial grade applications by offering state-ofthe-art selectivity/co-existence, excellent link budget, operation up to 125 C and low voltage operation. In addition, the module provides extensive hardware support for frame handling, data buffering, burst transmissions, data encryption, data authentication, clear channel assessment, link quality indication and frame timing information. These features reduce the load on the host controller. Page 4 of 12 Revision 1.0
