DLP-RF2 
 
RF OEM Transceiver Module (Preliminary) 
 
The DLP-RF2 combines a Freescale™ MC13192 2.4GHz Direct-
Sequence, Spread-Spectrum RF Transceiver IC and Freescale 
MC9S08GT60 microcontroller to form an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant, 
ZigBee™ ready, short-range transceiver module.  The DLP-RF2 connects 
to user electronics via a standard, 20-pin male header. 
 
The MC9S08GT60 microcontroller is preprogrammed with DLP Design’s 
Serial Interface Packet Processor (SIPP™ firmware) for accessing the 
transceiver functions via simple serial calls.  Interface to an external serial 
host microcontroller/DSP/FPGA, etc. is accomplished via a simple 2-wire (RX, TX, and ground) 
interface. 
 
The SIPP firmware in the DLP-RF2 resides at the application layer and is based on Freescale’s 
SMAC.  The SIPP firmware provides basic access to DLP-RF2 functionality: Packet receive and 
transmit, transceiver settings, EEPROM access, etc.  The DLP-RF2 can also operate without a 
serial host controller.  Basic digital I/O, A/D conversions, temperature measurement, and 
latching/non-latching relay control are available via the SIPP firmware. 
 
The MC9S08GT60 can be reprogrammed (if desired) with user-supplied firmware via a 6-pin 
BDM header that is compatible with the P&E USB-ML-12 and device programmers (purchased 
separately).
