Z-Wave USB Controller with best-in-class RF range Reference Design

Z-Wave USB Controller with best-in-class RF range Reference Application Design

The Z-Wave Alliance Z-Wave Reference Application Design (ZRAD) is a simple to copy, easy to modify, Open-Source Reference design of a Z-Wave best-in-class RF range device. ZRAD is not a product you can purchase, but anyone is welcome to manufacture and sell a product based on ZRAD. The objective is to accelerate Time-To-Market for Z-Wave products thru a simple to follow example with detailed step-by-step instructions. See the docs/ZRADTechDocs.docx file for more details and the Theory of Operation.

ZRAD Z-Wave Reference Application Design: common questions

What microcontroller does the ZRAD Z-Wave Reference Application Design use?

The ZRAD Z-Wave Reference Application Design is built around the EFR32xG23xxxxF512xM48, from the Silicon Labs family.

How big is the ZRAD Z-Wave Reference Application Design PCB?

The ZRAD Z-Wave Reference Application Design measures 120 × 120 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ZRAD Z-Wave Reference Application Design?

55 components, from 38 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the ZRAD Z-Wave Reference Application Design design files?

From the drzwave/ZRAD repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the ZRAD Z-Wave Reference Application Design design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which drzwave chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the ZRAD Z-Wave Reference Application Design without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Silicon Labs firmware against it before you order a PCB.
