MC12311 Development Platform Overview and Description
2.1
The MC12311 development platform is an evaluation environment based on the Freescale MC12311
device. The MC12311 is a highly-integrated, cost-effective, system-in-package (SIP), sub-1GHz wireless
node solution with an FSK, GFSK, MSK, or OOK modulation-capable transceiver and low-power QE32
8-bit microcontroller. The highly integrated RF transceiver operates over a wide frequency range including
315 MHz, 433 MHz, 470 MHz, 868 MHz, 915 MHz, 928 MHz, and 955 MHz in the license-free Industrial,
Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands. This configuration allows users to minimize the use of
external components.
The MC12311 is targeted for the following low-power wireless applications:
Freescale supplements the MC12311 with tools and software that include hardware evaluation and
development boards, software development IDE and applications, drivers, custom PHY usable with
Freescale’s IEEE 802.15.4 compatible MAC, and an available wireless MBUS solution.
The MC12311 development platform is comprised of two boards:

12311-Modular Reference Board (12311-MRB) - this board contains the MC12311 device with 32
MHz reference oscillator crystal, RF circuitry including antenna, and supporting circuitry. The
board can be used as a simple standalone evaluation platform or as a daughter card to the other
MC12311 development platform boards or to a custom, application specific motherboard.
— Provides compact reference design for device footprint and RF layout
— Provides pre-designed MC12311 hardware (device and function)
— Provides access to the MC12311 full set of GPIO
— Provides MCU BDM debug port
— Provides optional local 2 Mbit serial FLASH, 32.768 kHz oscillator crystal, IR “blaster” LED
TWR-RF Board . The TWR-RF board is a motherboard for the MC12311 and 12311-MRB
daughter boards, to enable its use within the Tower system. The TWR-RF board is a Tower
Controller Module compatible with the Freescale Tower System. The 12311-MRB + TWR-RF can
