Moteiv Releases Tmote Mini

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Moteiv has released the latest addition to its popular Tmote product line: the Tmote Mini. The Tmote Mini acts as the mote-core of your WSN solution, based on the proven and popular Tmote Sky platform and compacting it into a dramatically smaller, more flexible, and standardized miniSDIO form factor.
The Tmote Mini combines a Texas Instruments MSP430 microcontroller with a TI/Chipcon CC2420 low-power radio in an industry-standard miniSDIO form factor. The Tmote Mini forms the “mote core” of your WSN solution, putting all the required hardware and software together in a single one square inch package. This modular approach allows developers, OEMs, and system integrators to concentrate on their application needs rather than WSN platform development.
The Tmote Mini comes in two configurations — the standard configuration has -25 to 0dBm of RF output, and the Tmote Mini Plus has an integrated power amplifier for a +20 dBm RF boost. Both versions are in the miniSDIO form factor, with the Mini Plus slighltly longer than the standard configuration. Moreover, Tmote Mini offers multiple interfaces for UART, SPI, I2C, 1-wire as well as 8 ADC signal inputs and 2 DAC output channels. Either version can have an antenna connected through the exposed leads, or via a convenient U.FL connector for use with off-the-shelf components.
The Tmote Mini is functionally equivalent to Moteiv’s popular Tmote Sky platform. All Tmote Sky code will run without modifications on the Tmote Mini module, and includes Moteiv’s robust open-source Boomerang Software.
