ZM5101 devices combine a Z-Wave SD3502 SoC with a built-in microcontroller (MCU) and Z-Wave RF transceiver, crystal and passive RF components in a single 8 mm x 8 mm module, making ZM5101 ideal for small footprint, single MCU products such as thermostats, remote controls, lighting control and USB sticks. The ZM5101’s large I/O count and generous memory support compact, single microcontroller Z-Wave solutions for complex applications. ZM5101 devices address the need for increasingly user-friendly and feature-rich home control applications by providing 128 kB Flash and 16 kB SRAM. The built-in key scanner and infrared controller are ideal building blocks for implementing a universal remote control that supports both learning and sending IR codes, as well as Z-Wave commands. The&nbsp;ZM5101 provides hardware-assisted frequency agility, enabling the module to switch away from a noisy channel without communication or software overhead. Furthermore, the very-low sleep current of ZM5101 addresses the growing need for longer battery life, allowing existing Z-wave products to experience up to double the battery life of current products.<br>
