XB3 in Digi XBee Family
The Digi XBee3 (XB3) series is a modular hardware and software solution manufactured by Digi International, designed to streamline wireless connectivity for IoT edge devices. Leveraging the Silicon Labs EFR32 MG microcontroller, these modules support the Zigbee 3.0 protocol alongside 802.15.4 and BLE. Engineers utilize the XB3 family for its compact form factors and pre-certified RF designs, which significantly reduce time-to-market for complex mesh networking applications in commercial and industrial environments.
Variants in This Sub-Family
| Part Number | Difference | Stock |
|---|---|---|
| XB3-24Z8UM-J (Digi) | ext. antenna | 1,514 |
| XB3-24Z8US (Digi) | ext. antenna | 852 |
Variants within the XB3 family are primarily distinguished by their physical form factors, antenna options, and transmit power levels. Engineers can choose between SMT, Through-Hole, or the space-saving Micro (MMT) pads. Antenna choices include PCB traces, U.FL connectors, or SMA connectors for external high-gain antennas. Additionally, 'PRO' variants offer higher output power for extended-range applications, while standard variants prioritize power efficiency.
