Conventions
1.2.1
Signal Naming
The naming convention for Eterna signals is UPPER_CASE_SEPARATED_BY_UNDERSCORE. Active-low signals, such
as RESETn, add a trailing lower case n. An exception to the naming convention is UART transmit and receive signals which
are named consistent with industry practice as RX and TX, omitting the lower case n, despite being active low signals. The
terms assertion and active refers to a signal in a logically true state: logic ‘1’ for active high signals and logic ‘0’ for active
low signals. The terms negated and inactive refer to a signal being in its logically false state: logic ‘0’ for active high signals
and logic ‘1’ for active low signals.

Power Supply
Eterna is powered from a single pin, VSUPPLY, which powers the I/O cells and is also used to generate internal supplies.
Eterna’s two on-chip DC/DC converters minimize Eterna’s energy consumption while the device is awake. To prevent power
from being wasted the DC/DC converter is disabled when the device is in low-power state. Eterna’s rejection of supply noise
is substantial owing to the two integrated DC/DC converters and three integrated low-dropout regulators. Eterna’s operating
supply range is high enough to support direct connection to Li-SClO2 sources and wide enough to support battery operation
over a broad temperature range.

2.1.1
Supply Monitoring and Reset
Eterna integrates an Power on Reset (PoR) circuit and as the RESETn input pin is nominally configured with an internal pull-
up resistor, thus no connection is required. For a graceful shutdown, the software and networking layers be cleanly halted
prior to assertion of the RESETn pin. Eterna includes a soft brown-out monitor that fully protects the Flash from corruption
in the event that power is removed while writing to flash. Integrated flash supervisory functionality in conjunction with ***
(do we do a JFS?) yields a robust non-volatile file system.
2.2
Precision Timing
Eterna, differs from competing 802.15.4 product offerings by providing low-power dedicated timing hardware and timing
algorithms that provide timing precision two to three orders of magnitude better than any other available low-power solution.
Improved timing accuracy allows motes to minimize the amount of radio listening time required to ensure packet reception
thereby lowering even further the power consumed by an Eterna network. Eterna’s patented timing hardware and timing
algorithms provide superior performance over rapid temperature changes, further differentiating Eterna’s reliability when
compared with other wireless products. In addition, precise timing enables networks to reduce spectral dead time, increasing
total network throughput.
2.2.1
Time Synchronization
In addition to coordinating timeslots across the network, which is transparent to the user, Eterna’s unparalleled timing
management is used to support two mechanisms to share network time. Having an accurate, shared, network-wide time base
enables events to be accurately time stamped or tasks to be performed in a synchronized fashion across a network. Eterna
will send a time packet through its serial interface when one of the following occurs:
•
•
Eterna receives an HDLC request to read time
The TIMEn signal is asserted
The use of TIMEn has the advantage of being more accurate. The value of the timestamp is captured in hardware relative to
the rising edge of TIMEn. If the HDLC request is used, due to packet processing the value of the timestamp may be captured
several milliseconds after receipt of the packet. See Section 8.10 for the time functions definition and specifications.
2.3
Time References
Eterna includes three clock sources: a low power oscillator designed for a 32.768 kHz crystal, the radio reference oscillator
designed for a 20 MHz crystal, and an internal relaxation oscillator.
2.3.1
Relaxation Oscillator
The relaxation oscillator is the primary clock source for Eterna, providing the clock for the CPU, memory subsystems, and all
peripherals. The internal relaxation oscillator typically starts up in a few μs, providing an expedient, low-energy method for
duty cycling between active and low power states. Quick start-up from the doze state, defined in section 4.0, allows Eterna to
wake up and receive data over the UART and SPI interfaces by simply by detecting activity the appropriate signals.
2.3.2
32.768 kHz Crystal
Once Eterna is powered up and the 32.768 kHz crystal source has begun oscillating, the 32.768 kHz crystal remains
operational while in the Active state, and is used as the timing basis when in Doze state. See Section 4.0 for a description of
Eterna’s operational states.
2.3.3
20 MHz Crystal
The 20 MHz crystal source provides a frequency reference for the radio, and is automatically enabled and disabled by Eterna
as needed.
2.4
Radio
Eterna is the lowest-power commercially available 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4e radio by a substantial margin. (Please refer to
section 8.2 for power consumption numbers.). Eterna’s integrated power amplifier is calibrated and temperature-compensated
to consistently provide power at a limit suitable for worldwide radio certifications. Additionally, Eterna uniquely includes a
6
Linear Technology / Dust Networks
Eterna Datasheet
A d v a n c e d I n f o r m a t i o n
hardware-based autonomous MAC that handles precise sequencing of peripherals, including the transmitter, the receiver, and
AES peripherals. The hardware-based autonomous MAC minimizes CPU activity, thereby further decreasing power
consumption.
2.5
UARTs
The principal network interface is through the application programming interface (API) UART. A command-line interface
(CLI) is also provided for support of test and debug functions. Both UARTs sense activity continuously, consuming virtually
no power until data is transferred over the port and then automatically returning to their lowest power state after the
conclusion of a transfer.
2.5.2
API UART Protocol
Eterna’s API UART operates in Mode 4, incorporating optional flow control, at 115200 baud. Packets are HDLC encoded
with one stop bit and no parity bits. The flow control signals for Eterna’s API receive path are shown in Figure 5. If the flow
control signals are used (recommended) transfers are initiated from a companion processor by asserting UART_RX_RTSn.
Eterna responds by asserting UART_RX_CTSn. If flow control is used, after detecting the assertion of UART_RX_CTSn the
companion processor may send the entire packet. Following the transmission of the final byte in the packet the companion
processor negates UART_RX_RTSn and waits until the negation of UART_RX_CTSn before asserting UART_RX_RTSn
again. Flow control automatically ensures compliance with inter-packet delay requirements, so explicit delay-checking is not
required.
If flow control is not desired or needed it may be disabled by tying UART_RX_RTSn high. When flow control is not used
the companion processor may send the entire packet; in this case the companion processor must comply with the minimum
inter-packet delay as defined in section 8.9.
Figure 5 UART Mode 4 Receive Flow Control
UART Mode 4 also incorporates level-sensitive flow control for Eterna UART transmissions on the UART TX pin. Packets
are HDLC encoded with one stop bit and no parity bits. The flow control signals for TX are shown in Figure 6. A transfer
request is signaled by Eterna device asserting UART_TX_RTSn. The UART_TX_CTSn signal may be actively driven by the
companion processor when it is ready to receive a packet or it may be tied low if the companion processor will always be
ready to receive a packet. After detecting a logic ‘0’ on UART_TX_CTSn Eterna sends the entire packet. Following the
transmission of the final byte in the packet Eterna negates UART_TX_RTSn and waits for a minimum period (what is the
period called?) defined in section 8.9 before asserting UART_TX_RTSn again (if a packet needs to be transmitted)

For details on the timing of the UART protocol, see section 8.9 (UART AC Characteristics).
2.5.3
CLI UART
The Command Line Interface (CLI) UART port is a two wire protocol (TX and RX) that operates at a fixed 9600 baud rate
with one-stop bit and no parity. The CLI UART interface is intended to support command-line instructions and response
activity.
2.6
Autonomous MAC
Eterna was designed as a system solution with the objective of providing a reliable, ultra-low power, and secure network. A
reliable network capable of dynamically optimizing operation over changing environments requires solutions that are far too
complex to completely support through hardware acceleration alone. As described in Section 2.2, proper time management is
essential for optimizing a solution that is both low power and reliable. To address this solution Eterna includes the
Autonomous MAC, which includes hardware support for controlling all of the time-critical radio operations. The
Autonomous MAC provides two benefits: first, preventing variable software latency from affecting network timing and
second, greatly reducing system power consumption by allowing the CPU to remain inactive during the majority of the radio
activity. The Autonomous MAC, unique to Eterna, provides software-independent timing control of the radio and radio-
related functions, resulting in superior reliability and exceptionally low power.
2.7
Security
Network security is an often overlooked component of a complete network solution. Proper implementation of security
protocols is significant in terms of both engineering effort and market value in an OEM product. Eterna system solutions
provide a FIPS-197 validated encryption scheme, and goes further, providing a complete set of mechanisms to protect
network security. Eterna includes hardware support for electronically locking devices, thereby preventing access to Eterna’s
flash and RAM memory. This lock-out feature provides a means to securely unlock a device should support of a product
require access. For details see 040-0109 Design Specific Configuration Guide.
2.8
Temperature Sensor
Eterna includes a calibrated temperature sensor on chip. The temperature readings are available locally through Eterna’s
serial API, in addition to being available via the network manager. The performance characteristics of the temperature sensor
can be found in Section 8.6.
2.8.1
Radio Inhibit
The RADIO_INHIBIT digital interrupt enables an external controller to temporarily disable the radio software drivers (for
example, to take a sensor reading that is susceptible to radio interference). When RADIO_INHIBIT is asserted the software
radio drivers will disallow radio operations including clear channel assessment, packet transmits, or packet receipts. If a radio
event is in progress radio inhibit will take effect after the present operation completes. For details on the timing associated
with RADIO_INHIBIT, see Section 8.12.

2.8.2
Sleep
The SLEEPn digital interrupt enables an external controller to temporarily disable Eterna’s duty cycling between active and
Doze states (see Section 4.0 for state definitions). Forcing Eterna to the Doze state should only be done when absolutely
necessary, such as when taking a very sensitive sensor reading, as forcing a device into a Doze state will on the average
increase the energy consumption of other devices in the network. When SLEEPn is asserted the software will go into a Doze
state until the SLEEPn signal is negated. For details on the timing associated with SLEEPn, see Section 8.11.
2.10
Flash Programming
Eterna’s software images are loaded via the IPCS, in-circuit programming control system, SPI interface. Sequencing of
RESETn and FLASH_P_ENn, as described in Section 4.0, places Eterna in a state emulating a serial flash to support in-
circuit programming. Hardware and software for supporting development and production programming of devices is
described in 040-0110 Eterna Serial Programmer Guide. The serial protocol, SPI, and timing parameters are described in
Section 8.13.
3.0 SmartMesh Intelligent Networking Platform
The SmartMesh Eterna network manager is built upon Dust Networks’ Intelligent Networking Platform, which provides
dynamic network optimization, deterministic power management, intelligent routing, and bandwidth flexibility to achieve the
carrier class data reliability, and ultra-low power and ease of use required for industrial automation applications.
3.1
Dynamic Network Optimization
Dynamic network optimization allows Eterna to address the changing RF requirements in harsh industrial environments
resulting in a network that is continuously self-monitoring and self-adjusting. The manager performs dynamic network
optimization based upon periodic reports on network health and link quality that it receives from the network motes. The
manager uses this information to provide performance statistics to the application layer and proactively solve problems in the
network. Dynamic network optimization not only maintains network health, but also allows Eterna to deliver deterministic
power management.
3.2
Deterministic Power Management
Deterministic power management balances traffic in the network by diverting traffic around heavily loaded motes (for
example, motes with high reporting rates). In doing so, it reduces power consumption for these motes and balances power
consumption across the network. Deterministic power management provides predictable maintenance schedules to prevent
down time and lower the cost of network ownership. When combined with field devices using Eterna’s industry-leading low
power radio technology, deterministic power management enables over a decade of battery life for network motes.
3.3
Intelligent Routing
Intelligent routing provides each packet with an optimal path through the network. The shortest distance between two points
is a straight line, but in RF the quickest path is not always the one with the fewest hops. Intelligent routing finds optimal
paths by considering the link quality (one path may lose more packets than another) and the retry schedule, in addition to the
number of hops. The result is reduced network power consumption, elimination of in-network collisions, and unmatched
network scalability and reliability.
3.4
Bandwidth Flexibility
Efficient use of network resources enables Dust Networks to deliver bandwidth flexibility—the ability to assign different
levels of bandwidth to satisfy unique throughput and latency requirements. Bandwidth flexibly addresses the range of latency
and throughput needs of industrial automation applications such as request/response, fast file transfer, and alerting.

Start Up
Start Up occurs as a result of either tripping of the power-on-reset circuit or the assertion of RESETn. After the completion
of power-on-reset (see Section 2.1.1) or the falling edge of an internally synchronized RESETn, Eterna loads its Fuse Table
(see section 4.1.1), including setting I/O direction. In this state, Eterna checks the state of the FLASH_P_ENn and RESETn
and enters the serial flash emulation mode, if both signals are asserted. If the FLASH_P_ENn pin is not asserted but RESETn
is not asserted, Eterna automatically reduces its energy consumption to a minimum until RESETn is released. Once RESETn is de-
asserted, Eterna goes through a boot sequence, and then enters the Active state.
4.1.1
Fuse Table
Eterna’s Fuse Table is a 2 KB page in flash that contains two data structures, one for hardware configuration immediately
following Power on Reset or the assertion of RESETn and one for configuration of design specific parameters. Hardware
support for configuration includes configuration of I/O, preventing I/O leakage from negatively affecting current
consumption during power on, which can be a significant issue for current limited supplies. Examples of design-specific
parameters include setting of UART modes, clock sources and trim values. Fuse Tables are created via the Fuse Table
application software described in 040-0109 Design Specific Configuration Guide. Fuse Tables are loaded into flash using the
same software and in-circuit programmer used to load Eterna’s networking software image – see the 040-0110 Eterna Serial
Programmer Guide for details.

4.2
Serial Flash Emulation
When both RESETn and FLASH_P_ENn are asserted, Eterna disables normal operation and enters a mode to emulate the
operation of a serial flash. In this mode, its flash can be programmed with software updates. For details, see Section 2.10.
4.3
Operation
Once Eterna has completed startup, Eterna transitions to the Operational group of states (active / CPU active, active / CPU
inactive, and Doze). There, Eterna cycles between the various states, automatically selecting the lowest power state possible
while fulfilling the demands of network operation.
4.3.1
Active State
In Active state, the Eterna’s relaxation oscillator is running and peripherals are enabled as needed. The ARM Cortex-M3
cycles as needed between CPU-active and CPU-inactive (referred to in the ARM Cortex-M3 literature as “Sleep Now” or
“Sleep on Exit” modes). Eterna’s extensive use of DMA and intelligent peripherals that can independently move Eterna
between the Active and Doze states minimizes the time the CPU is active, significantly reducing Eterna’s energy
consumption.
4.3.2
Doze State
The Doze state consumes orders of magnitude less current than the Active state (see Table 6) and is entered when all of the
peripherals, save the low power portion of the timer module, and the CPU are inactive. In the Doze state Eterna’s full state is
retained and Eterna is configured to detect, wake, and rapidly respond to activity on I/Os (such as UART signals and the
TIMEn pin). The Doze state also uses the 32.768-kHz oscillator and 32 kHz based timers are active.
4.4
Duty Cycling and Autonomous Peripherals
Eterna’s ability to quickly and efficiently transition between Doze and Active states, in conjunction with the ability of
peripherals to operate autonomously for most operations (shown in Figure 9), enables the system solution to significantly
reduce power consumption. For example the system can automatically go from Doze to Active and determine if RF energy is
present. The CPU is then only woken if a packet is detected, otherwise Eterna returns to Doze mode.

5.0 Pinout
5.1
Eterna Mote-on-Chip
Figure 10 and Table 1 show the default pinout and pin-assignment for Eterna. For clarity the pins are grouped by function in
the pin-assignment table. In some cases, a pin may have multiple possible functions; the behavior is determined by the
software application layer.
Note: All unused input pins not configured with a pull resistor (see Pull column in pinout table) must be driven to their
inactive state or be configured by the Fuse Table to pull to an inactive state to avoid excess leakage and undesired operation.
Leakage due to floating inputs can be substantially greater than Eterna’s average power consumption. Pin functions shown in
gray are not currently supported via software.

Power Supply
Eterna is powered from a single pin, VSUPPLY, and generates all required supplies internally. With two integrated DC/DC
converters and four voltage regulators, the sensitivity to noise on VSUPPLY is minimal. However, during typical operation
Eterna will vary its load on the power supply from the μA range to 10’s of mA over a few μs. During such transients, the
power supply must meet the specifications for supply noise tolerance. Eterna is designed to operate with specific decoupling
capacitance on VCORE, VDDA, VOSC, VDDPA, and VPRIME, as well as the internal converter capacitors C1 through C4.
Failure to use correctly sized ceramic capacitors can result in supply instability and performance degradation.
5.3.1
Antenna
Eterna allows direct connection to a single-ended 50-Ohm antenna; an internal TX/RX switch simplifies external circuitry
requirements. Because both the transmit and the receive paths are single-ended, a balun (with its associated cost and
efficiency loss) are not required. Eterna provides options to set typical output power to 0 dBm or to +8 dBm using the on-chip
PA. For further details on radio transmit and receive, see section 2.4.
5.5
JTAG
Eterna includes an IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG port for boundary scan.

Typical Performance Characteristics
All TIMEn synchronization error testing was performed with the hop-1 mote inside a temperature chamber. Timing errors
due to temperature changes and temperature differences both between the AP and this mote and between this mote and its
descendents therefore propagated down through the network. The synchronization of the hop-3 and hop-5 motes to the AP
was then affected by the temperature ramps even though they were at room temperature. For 2°C/min. testing the temperature
chamber was cycled between -40°C and 85°C at this rate for 24 hours. For 8°C/min. testing, the temperature chamber was
rapidly cycled between 85°C and about 45°C for 8 hours, followed by rapid cycling between -5°C and about 45°C for 8
hours, and lastly, rapid cycling between -40°C and about 15°C for 8 hours..
Eterna Datasheet
Linear Technology / Dust Networks
23
A d v a n c e d I n f o r m a t i o n
Network motes typically route through at least two parents traffic destined for the manager. The bandwidth and keep-alive
overhead required to support network motes will be shared across all of the mote's parents. The supply current plots include a
parameter called traffic-weighted descendants. In these graphs the term traffic-weighted descendants refers to an amount of
activity equivalent to the number of descendants were all of the network traffic and keep-alives directed to the mote in
question. Generally the number of descendants of a parent is more (typically 2x or more) than the number of traffic-weighted
descendants. For example, with reference to Figure 25 mote P1 has 0.75 traffic-weighted descendants. To obtain this value
notice that mote D1 routes half its packets through mote P1 adding 0.5 to the traffic-weighted descendant value; the other
half of D1's traffic is routed through its other parent, P2. Mote D2 routes half its packets through mote D1 (the other half
