Industry standard miniSDIO form factor to serve as the "mote core" of your wireless sensor network platform.
Tmote Mini builds on the success of the proven Tmote Sky platform, and sets a new standard for flexibility, extensibility, and cost-effectiveness. 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 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 comes in two configurations -- the standard configuration has -25 to 0dBm of RF output, and the 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, 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 is functionally equivalent to Moteiv"s popular Tmote Sky platform. All Tmote Sky code will run without modifications on the module, and includes Moteiv"s robust open-source Boomerang Software.

The is available today as part of a comprehensive development kit which includes four mote cores (two standard and two Mini Plus), plus a and Plus each pre-mounted on separate development boards so you can get started with your s without having to design your own hardware first. Minis are also available as individual "mote cores" in quantities of 50 or greater.
