Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XBP24-API-001 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• RF Standard: 802.15.4 compliance is mandatory
• Frequency Band: 2.4GHz operation
• Data Rate: 250kbps minimum
• Mounting Type: Through Hole configuration
• Antenna Configuration: Integrated trace antenna
• Supply Voltage Range: Compatibility with system power requirements
• Serial Interface: UART support for host communication
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

The XB3-24Z8PT qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters while offering enhanced performance characteristics and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XB3-24Z8PT is the qualified substitute for the obsolete XBP24-API-001. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

• Both modules maintain identical 802.15.4 RF standard compliance and 2.4GHz frequency operation
• The XB3-24Z8PT is an active product with verified Digi programmability, ensuring long-term availability and support
• Electrical parameters are fully compatible: supply voltage range is expanded (2.1V ~ 3.6V), and current consumption is reduced in both receive (15mA vs 55mA) and transmit (135mA vs 215mA) modes
• RF performance is enhanced: output power increased to 19dBm and sensitivity improved to -103dBm
• Through-hole mounting and integrated trace antenna configurations are identical
• Serial interface compatibility is maintained with UART support, supplemented by I2C and SPI options
• Operating temperature range remains -40°C ~ 85°C
• RoHS compliance status is verified for the XB3-24Z8PT

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XB3-24Z8PT directly replace the XBP24-API-001 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both modules share identical 802.15.4 RF standard, 2.4GHz frequency, 250kbps data rate, through-hole mounting, and integrated trace antenna configuration. UART serial interface is supported on both modules. The XB3-24Z8PT offers enhanced performance with lower power consumption and improved RF sensitivity.

Q: What are the key differences between these modules?

A: The XB3-24Z8PT provides enhanced specifications: 1dBm higher output power, 3dBm improved sensitivity, 40mA lower receive current, 80mA lower transmit current, and expanded supply voltage range (2.1V ~ 3.6V vs 2.8V ~ 3.4V). Additional serial interfaces (I2C, SPI) are available on the XB3-24Z8PT. The XB3-24Z8PT is an active product with RoHS compliance verification.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The XBP24-API-001 uses standard through-hole packaging. The XB3-24Z8PT is supplied in tray packaging. Both modules maintain identical through-hole mounting configuration and form factor compatibility.

Q: What is the supply voltage compatibility?

A: The XBP24-API-001 requires 2.8V ~ 3.4V. The XB3-24Z8PT accepts 2.1V ~ 3.6V, providing a wider operating range. Systems designed for the original module voltage range are fully compatible with the substitute.

Q: Is firmware or software modification required for substitution?

A: The XB3-24Z8PT maintains UART serial interface compatibility with the XBP24-API-001. Both modules support 802.15.4 protocol operation. Verification of application-specific firmware compatibility with the XBee® 3 Zigbee® 3 platform is required based on individual system requirements.
