FS-3006

Overview

The Digi FS-3006 is a wireless module designed for industrial IoT applications, featuring integrated Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capabilities. It utilizes the CC2652R system-on-chip to provide dual-mode connectivity within a compact form factor. The device supports standard IEEE 802.15.4 protocols for Zigbee communication and BLE 4.2 specifications, enabling versatile mesh networking and point-to-point connections. Key electrical parameters include an operating voltage range of 1.9V to 3.6V and a maximum transmit power of +5dBm for both radio interfaces. The module incorporates an onboard ceramic antenna and provides multiple GPIO pins for peripheral integration.

Feature Summary

• Dual-mode connectivity supporting Zigbee 3.0 and Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 simultaneously
• Integrated CC2652R SoC with ARM Cortex-M4F processor running at 48MHz
• Onboard ceramic antenna ensuring reliable RF performance without external components
• Supports Thread, Zigbee, and BLE protocols via configurable firmware

Applications

• Industrial sensor networks requiring long-range mesh connectivity
• Smart building automation systems integrating lighting and HVAC controls
• Wireless gateways bridging Zigbee devices to IP networks
• Asset tracking tags utilizing BLE beaconing capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision suffix on the component marking to ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and firmware libraries. Confirm regulatory certifications such as FCC ID and CE mark are applicable for the target deployment region. Check for any lead time variations associated with the CC2652R chip supply chain status before finalizing procurement schedules.

Selection Notes

Select this module when both Zigbee mesh networking and BLE low-power advertising are required in a single device. Ensure the host microcontroller interface matches the available SPI or UART pins on the module. Consider thermal management requirements if the module will operate continuously at maximum transmit power in enclosed enclosures.

Part Context

This module belongs to Digi's XBee family of wireless modules, specifically designed for Mouser Electronics distribution channels. It serves as a drop-in replacement for legacy XBee-ZB and XBee-BL modules while offering enhanced processing power through the newer CC2652R platform. The part number distinguishes it from other variants by its specific pinout configuration and regulatory approval set.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the Digi XBee3 Zigbee and the Digi XBee3 Bluetooth modules if separate functionalities suffice. For multi-protocol needs, verify that the CC2652P-based alternatives offer sufficient memory for the intended application stack.
