Microchip has announced ZeroG wireless ZG2100M and ZG2101M Wi-Fi modules.

The Wi-Fi I/O (ZG2100M and ZG2101M) is a low-power, low-cost system that provides Wi-Fi connectivity for nearly any electronic device.

The development tools are based on the standard PICtail and PICtail Plus daughterboard connectors, allowing a designer to plug Wi-Fi connectivity into a variety of the company’s development kits.

The daughterboard allows designers to create a direct connection to the internet by connecting to standard wireless access points. In managing the connection, the ZeroG ZG2100M controls the MAC and baseband layers and is connected to the host MCU or DSC via an SPI port.

The 8/16/32-bit PIC MCU or dsPIC DSC that resides on the development board controls the free TCP/IP networking stack and runs the system application.

Additional features of the daughterboard include: FCC, IC and ETSI certified; Wi-Fi certified and IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless solution; ZG2100M small-footprint module with integrated antenna, MAC, baseband, RF and power amplifier; free TCP/IP stack supports standard suite of internet protocols; supports WEP, WPA and WPA2 security protocols.

The ZeroG IEEE 802.11 development kit for Explorer 16 demonstrates 802.11 Wi-Fi connectivity using the separately available Explorer 16 development board.

The kit includes: ZeroG Wi-Fi PICtail/PICtail plus daughterboard; pre-programmed PIC24FJ128GA010 plug-in module for the Explorer 16, with TCP/IP and web server application; pre-configured wireless broadband router.
