The Mini-Z® Z-PAN 28-Pin Module Reference Design is a stand-alone 802.15 Personal Area Network module that is produced in a 28-pin Dual Inline Pin package. The Mini-Z Z-PAN 28-Pin Module integrates Zilog’s powerful ZNEO microcontroller with a Roving Networks 2402–2480 MHz RN-41 Personal Area Network Module.
Designed for the hobbyist, student and engineer to quickly develop prototypes, proof of concept and demonstrations as well as provide the functionality required for hands-on learning, the Module is designed to be pin-compatible with other vendors' basic stamp modules. This flexibility allows you to utilize different vendor’s base boards that you may already have in your arsenal.
Mini-Z Z-PAN 28-Pin Module Features
- Powerful 16-bit CISC microcontroller
- 128 KB of Flash program space with 16-bit access and in-circuit programming
- 4 KB internal RAM with 16 bit access
- 24-bit address space
- 24-bit stack with overflow protection
- Direct register-to-register architecture, allows each memory address to function as an accumulator. This improves execution time and decreases the required program memory

- Three standard 16-bit timers with capture, compare and PWM capability
- 12-bit PWM module with three complementary pairs, or six independent PWM outputs, with deadband generation and fault trip input
- 24 interrupts with programmable priority
- Watchdog Timer with Internal RC Oscillator
- On-Chip Debugger
- Voltage Brown-Out protection (VBO)
- Power-On Reset (POR)
- Low Power modes
