smarTmesh neTwork overview
A SmartMesh network consists of a self-forming multi-hop,
mesh of nodes, known as motes, which collect and relay
data, and a network manager that monitors and manages
network performance and security, and exchanges data
with a host application.
SmartMesh networks communicate using a time slotted
channel hopping (TSCH) link layer, pioneered by Dust
Networks. In a TSCH network, all motes in the network
are synchronized to within less than a millisecond. Time
in the network is organized into timeslots, which enables
collision-free packet exchange and per-transmission
channel-hopping. In a SmartMesh network, every device
has one or more parents (e.g. mote 3 has motes 1 and
2 as parents) that provide redundant paths to overcome
communications interruption due to interference, physical
obstruction or multi-path fading. If a packet transmission
fails on one path, the next retransmission may try on a
different path and different RF channel.
A network begins to form when the network manager
instructs its onboard access point (AP) radio to begin send-
ingadvertisementspackets that contain information that
enables a device to synchronize to the network and request
to join. This message exchange is part of thesecurityhand-
shake that establishes encrypted communications between
the manager or application, and mote. Once motes have
joined the network, they maintain synchronization through
time corrections when a packet is acknowledged.
to the network manager in packets called health reports.
The network manager uses health reports to continually
optimize the network to maintain >99.999% data reliability
even in the most challenging RF environments.
The use of TSCH allows SmartMesh devices to sleep in-
between scheduled communications and draw very little
power in this state. Motes are only active in timeslots
where they are scheduled to transmit or receive, typically
resulting in a duty cycle of < 1%. The optimization soft-
ware in the network manager coordinates this schedule
automatically. When combined with the Eterna low power
radio, every mote in a SmartMesh network—even busy
routing ones—can run on batteries for years. By default,
all motes in a network are capable of routing traffic from
other motes, which simplifies installation by avoiding the
complexity of having distinct routers vs non-routing end
nodes. Motes may be configured as non-routing to further
reduce that particular mote’s power consumption and to
support a wide variety of network topologies.
An ongoing discovery process ensures that the network
continually discovers new paths as the RF conditions
change. In addition, each mote in the network tracks per-
formance statistics (e.g. quality of used paths, and lists of
potential paths) and periodically sends that information
At the heart of SmartMesh motes and network managers
is the Eterna IEEE 802.15.4e System-on-Chip (SoC), fea-
turing Dust Networks’ highly integrated, low power radio
design, plus an ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit microprocessor
running SmartMesh networking software. The SmartMesh
networking software comes fully compiled yet is configu-
rable via a rich set of application programming interfaces
(APIs) which allows a host application to interact with
the network, e.g. to transfer information to a device, to
configure data publishing rates on one or more motes,
or to monitor network state or performance metrics. Data
publishing can be uniform or different for each device,
with motes being able to publish infrequently or faster
than once per second as needed.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. ESD protection
devices are used extensively internal to Eterna. However, high electrostatic
discharge can damage or degrade the device. Use proper ESD handling
precautions.
Note 3: Extended storage at high temperature is discouraged, as this
negatively affects the data retention of Eterna’s calibration data. See
FLASH Data Retention section for details.
Note 4: Actual RF range is subject to a number of installation-specific
variables including, but not restricted to ambient temperature, relative
humidity, presence of active interference sources, line-of-sight obstacles,
and near-presence of objects (for example, trees, walls, signage, and so
on) that may induce multipath fading. As a result, range varies.

In mesh networks data can propagate from the manager
to the nodes, downstream, or from the motes to the man-
ager, upstream, via a sequence of transmissions from one
device to the next. As shown in Figure 8, data originating
from mote P1 may propagate to the manager directly or
through P2. As mote P1 may directly communicate with
the manager, mote P1 is referred to as a 1-hop mote. Data
originating from mote D1, must propagate through at least
one other mote, P2 or P1, and as a result is referred to as
a 2-hop mote. The fewest number of hops from a mote to
the manager determines the hop depth.
As described in the Application Time Synchronization
section, Eterna provides two mechanisms for applications
to maintain a time base across a network. The synchro-
nization performance plots that follow were generated
using the more precise TIMEn input. Publishing rate is
the rate a mote application sends upstream data. Syn-
chronization improves as the publishing rate increases.
Baseline synchronization performance is provided for a
network operating with a publishing rate of zero. Actual
performance for applications in network will improve
as publishing rates increase. All synchronization testing
was performed with the 1-hop mote inside a temperature
chamber. Timing errors due to temperature changes and
temperature differences both between the manager and
this mote and between this mote and its descendents
therefore propagated down through the network. The
synchronization of the 3-hop and 5-hop motes to the
manager was thus affected by the temperature ramps
even though they were at room temperature. For C/
minute testing the temperature chamber was cycled
between –40°C and 85°C at this rate for 24 hours. For
8°C/minute testing, the temperature chamber was rapidly
cycled between 85°C and 45°C for eight hours, followed
by rapid cycling between –5°C and 45°C for eight hours,
and lastly, rapid cycling between 40°C and 15°C for
eight hours.

Typical perFormance characTerisTics
As described in the SmartMesh Network Overview sec-
tion, devices in network spend the vast majority of their
time inactive in their lowest power state (Doze). On a
synchronous schedule a mote will wake to communicate
with another mote. Regularly occurring sequences which
wake, perform a significant function and return to sleep
are considered atomic. These operations are considered
atomic as the sequence of events can not be separated
into smaller events while performing a useful function.
For example, transmission of a packet over the radio is an
atomic operation. Atomic operations may be characterized
in either charge or energy. In a time slot where a mote
successfully sends a packet, an atomic transmit includes
setup prior to sending the message, sending the message,
receiving the acknowledgment and the post processing
needed as a result of the message being sent. Similarly
in a time slot when a mote successfully receives a packet,
an atomic receive includes setup prior to listening, listen-
ing until the start of the packet transition, receiving the
packet, sending the acknowledge and the post processing
required due to the arrival of the packet.
To ensure reliability each mote in the network is provided
multiple time slots for each packet it nominally will send
and forward. The time slots are assigned to communicate
upstream with at least two different motes. When combined
with frequency hopping this provides temporal, spatial
and spectral redundancy. Given this approach a mote will
often listen for a message that it will never receive, since
the time slot is not being used by the transmitting mote.
It has already successfully transmitted the packet. Since
typically three timeslots are scheduled for every one packet
to be sent or forwarded, motes will perform more of these
atomic idle listens than atomic transmit or atomic receive
sequences. Examples of transmit, receive and idle listen
atomic operations are shown below.

Output Pin. The impedance presented to the MMCX con-
nector should be 50Ω, single-ended with respect to ground.
RESETn: The asynchronous reset signal is internally pulled
up. Resetting Eterna will result in the ARM Cortex-M3
rebooting and loss of network connectivity. Use of this
signal for resetting Eterna is not recommended, except
during power-on and in-circuit programming.
RADIO_INHIBIT: The radio inhibit function is currently
not supported by software. RADIO_INHIBIT provides a
mechanism for an external device to temporarily disable
radio operation. Failure to observe the timing requirements
defined in the RADIO_INHIBIT AC Characteristics section,
may result in unreliable netowrk operation. In designs
where the RADIO_INHIBIT function is not needed the
input must either be tied, pulled or actively driven low to
avoid excess leakage.
TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO: JTAG port supporting software
debug and boundary scan.
SLEEPn: The SLEEPn function is not currently supported
in software. The SLEEPn input must either be tied, pulled
or actively driven high to avoid excess leakage.
UART_RX, UART_RX_RTSn, UART_RX_CTSn, UART_TX,
UART_TX_RTSn, UART_TX_CTSn: The API UART interface
includes bi-directional wake up and flow control. Unused
input signals must be driven or pulled to their inactive state.
TIMEn: Strobing the TIMEn input is the most accurate meth-
od to acquire the network time maintained by Eterna. Eterna
latches the network timestamp with sub-microsecond
resolution on the rising edge of the TIMEn signal and
produces a packet on the API serial port containing the
timing information.

The CLI UART provides a mechanism for monitoring,
configuration and control of Eterna during operation. On

EB_IO_WEn, EB_IO_ENn: The external bus provides a
multiplexed address data bus enabling the Cortex-M3
direct access of external byte wide RAM. The additional
RAM is used by network management software enabling
the support of a larger network of motes with higher packet
throughput. To support the addressing needed, each
latch signal, EB_IO_LE0, EB_IO_LE1, and EB_IO_LE2 will
strobe to latch 8-bits of address from the EB_DATA[7:0]
bus. EB_IO_LE0, EB_IO_LE1, and EB_IO_LE2 correspond
to addres bits [25:18], [17:10] and [9:2] respectively.
EB_ADDR_0 and EB_ADDR_1 correspond to the lower
two bits of address. For systems with 256k bytes or less
EB_IO_LE2 can be ignored. EB_IO_CS0n, EB_IO_WEn and
EB_IO_OEn provide chip select, write enable and output
enable control of the external RAM.
FLASH_P_ENn, IPCS_SSn, IPCS_SCK, IPCS_MISO,
IPCS_SSn: The In-circuit programming control system

POWER SUPPLY
Eterna is powered from a single pin, VSUPPLY, which
powers the I/O cells and is also used to generate internal
supplies. Eternas two on-chip DC/DC converters minimize
Eterna’s energy consumption while the device is awake. To
conserve power the DC/DC converters are disabled when
the device is in low power state. Eterna’s integrated power
supply conditioning architecture, including the two inte-
grated DC/DC converters and three integrated low dropout
regulators, provides excellent rejection of supply noise.
Eternas operating supply voltage range is high enough
to support direct connection to lithium-thionyl chloride,
Li-SOCl2, sources and wide enough to support battery
operation over a broad temperature range.
SUPPLY MONITORING AND RESET
Eterna integrates a power-on reset (PoR) circuit. As the
RESETn input pin is nominally configured with an internal
pull-up resistor, no connection is required. For a graceful
shutdown, the software and the networking layers should
be cleanly halted via API commands prior to assertion of
the RESETn pin. See the SmartMesh IP Manager API Guide
for details on the disconnect and reset commands. 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 func-
tionality, in conjunction with a fault tolerant file system,
yields a robust non-volatile storage solution.
PRECISION TIMING
A major feature of Eterna over competing 802.15.4 prod-
uct offerings is its low power dedicated timing hardware
and timing algorithms. This functionality provides timing
precision two to three orders of magnitude better than
any other low power solution available at the time of
publication. 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 SmartMesh networks. 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.
APPLICATION TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
In addition to coordinating time slots across the network,
which is transparent to the user, Eterna’s timing manage-
ment 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 API 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 an API request is used, due
to packet processing, the value of the timestamp may be
captured several milliseconds after receipt of the packet due
to packet processing. See section TIMEn AC Characteristics,
for the time functions definition and specifications.
TIME REFERENCES
Eterna includes three clock sources: an internal relaxation
oscillator, a low power oscillator designed for a 32.768kHz
crystal, and the radio reference oscillator designed for a
20MHz crystal.
Relaxation Oscillator
The relaxation oscillator is the primary clock source for
Eterna, providing the clock for the CPU, memory subsys-
tems, and all peripherals. The internal relaxation oscillator
is dynamically calibrated to 7.3728MHz. The internal re-
laxation 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 the State Diagram section, allows Eterna to
wake up and receive data over the UART and SPI interfaces
by simply detecting activity on the appropriate signals.

operaTion
32.768kHz Crystal
Once Eterna is powered up and the 32.768kHz crystal
source has begun oscillating, the 32.768kHz crystal re-
mains operational while in the active state, and is used as
the timing basis when in doze state. See the State Diagram
section, for a description of Eterna’s operational states.
20MHz Crystal
The 20MHz crystal source provides a frequency reference
for the radio, and is automatically enabled and disabled
by Eterna as needed.
RADIO
Eterna includes the lowest power commercially available
2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4e radio by a substantial margin.
(Please refer to section Radio Specifications, for power
consumption numbers). Eterna’s integrated power ampli-
fier is calibrated and temperature-compensated to con-
sistently provide power at a limit suitable for worldwide
radio certifications. Additionally, Eterna uniquely includes
a hardware-based autonomous MAC that handles precise
sequencing of peripherals, including the transmitter
, the
receiver, and advanced encryption standard (AES) periph-
erals. The hardware-based autonomous media access
controller (MAC) minimizes CPU activity, thereby further
decreasing power consumption.
UARTS
The principal network interface is through the applica-
tion 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. The defini-
tion for packet encoding on the API UART interface can
be found in the SmartMesh IP Manager API Guide and the
CLI command definitions can be found in the SmartMesh
IP Manager CLI Guide.
API UART PROTOCOL
The API UART protocol was created with the goal of sup-
porting a wide range of companion multipoint control units
(MCUs) while reducing power consumption of the system.
The receive half of the API UART protocol includes two ad-
ditional signals in addition to UART_RX: UART_RX_RTSn
and UART_RX_CTSn. The transmit half of the API UART
protocol includes two additional signals in addition to
UART_TX: UART_TX_RTSn and UART_TX_CTSn. The
API UART protocol is referred to as Mode 4.
In the figures accompanying the protocol descriptions,
signals driven by the companion processor are drawn
in black and signals driven by Eterna are drawn in blue.
UART Mode 4
UART Mode 4 incorporates level-sensitive flow control
on the TX channel and requires no flow control on the
RX channel, supporting 115200 baud. The use of level-
sensitive flow control signals enables higher data rates
with the option of using a reduced set of the flow control
signals; however, Mode 4 has specific limitations. First,
the use of the RX flow control signals (UART_RX_RTSn
and UART_RX_CTSn) for Mode 4 are optional provided
the use is limited to the industrial temperature range
(–40°C to 85°C); otherwise, the flow control is mandatory.
If RX flow control signals are not used, UART_RX_RTSn
should be tied to VSUPPLY (inactive) and UART_RX_CTSn
should be left unconnected. Second, unless the com-
panion processor is always ready to receive a packet,
the companion processor must negate UART_TX_CTSn
prior to the end of the current packet. Failure to negate
UART_TX_CTSn prior to the end of a packet may result
in back to back packets. Third, the companion processor
must wait at least tRX_INTERPACKET between transmitting
packets on UART_RX. See the UART AC Characteristics
section for complete timing specifications. Packets are
HDLC encoded with one stop bit and no parity bit. The flow
control signals for the TX channel are shown in Figure 11.
Transfers are initiated by Eterna asserting UART_TX_RTSn.

The UART_TX_CTSn signal may be actively driven by the
companion processor when ready to receive a packet or
UART_TX_CTSn may be tied low if the companion pro-
cessor is always 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
tTX_INTERPACKET, defined in the UART AC Characteristics
section, before asserting UART_TX_RTSn again.

UART AC Characteristics section.
to remain inactive during the majority of the radio activity.
The autonomous MAC, provides software-independent
timing control of the radio and radio-related functions,
resulting in superior reliability and exceptionally low power.
SECURITY
Network security is an often overlooked component of a
complete network solution. Proper implementation of se-
curity 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
that includes authentication and encryption at the MAC
and network layers with separate keys for each mote.
This not only yields end-to-end security, but if a mote is
somehow compromised, communication from other motes
is still secure. A mechanism for secure key exchange al-
lows keys to be kept fresh. To prevent physical attacks,
Eterna includes hardware support for electronically locking
devices, thereby preventing access to Eterna’s flash and
RAM memory and thus the keys and code stored therein.
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 the Temperature
Sensor Characteristics section.
RADIO INHIBIT
The RADIO_INHIBIT input enables an external control-
ler 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 the radio is active in the current time
slot when RADIO_INHIBIT is asserted the radio will be
disabled after the present operation completes. For details
on the timing associated with RADIO_INHIBIT, see the
RADIO_INHIBIT AC Characteristics section.
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.
AUTONOMOUS MAC
Eterna was designed as a system solution to provide a
reliable, ultralow 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 the Precision Timing
section, proper time management is essential for optimizing
a solution that is both low power and reliable. To address
these requirements Eterna includes the autonomous MAC,
which incorporates a coprocessor 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

FLASH DATA RETENTION
Eterna contains internal flash (non-volatile memory) to
store calibration results, unique ID, configuration settings
and software images. Flash retention is specified over the
operating temperature range. See Electrical Characteristics
and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections.
Non destructive storage above the operating temperature
range of –40°C to 85°C is possible; although, this may
result in a degradation of retention characteristics.
The degradation in flash retention for temperatures >85°C
can be approximated by calculating the dimensionless
acceleration factor using the following equation.
AF =e
Ea
k
1
TUSE+273 1
TSTRESS+273
Where:
AF = acceleration factor
Ea = activation energy = 0.6eV
k = 8.625 10–5eV/°K
TUSE = is the specified temperature retention in °C
TSTRESS = actual storage temperature in °C
Example: Calculate the effect on retention when storing
at a temperature of 105°C.
TSTRESS = 105°C
TUSE = 85°C
AF = 2.8
So the overall retention of the flash would be degraded
by a factor of 2.8, reducing data retention from 20 years
at 85°C to 7.1 years at 105°C.
NETWORKING
The LTP5901-IPR/LTP5902-IPR network manager pro-
vides the ingress/egress point for at the wired to wireless
mesh network boundary, via the API UART interface. The
complexity of the mesh network management is handled
entirely within the embedded software, which provides
dynamic network optimization, deterministic power man-
agement, intelligent routing, and configurable bandwidth
allocation while achieving carrier class data reliability and
low power operation.
Dynamic Network Optimization
Dynamic network optimization allows Eterna to address
the changing RF requirements in harsh industrial en-
vironments 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. One of the key advantages of SmartMesh
networking solutions is the network manager is aware of
and tracking the success or failure of every packet trans-
action, so not only can the network be optimized, but the
solution can be rigorously tested to produce a system
solution with better than 99.999% reliability.
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 do-
ing 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 Eternas industry-leading low power radio
technology, deterministic power management enables over
a decade of battery life for network motes.
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.
Configurable Bandwidth Allocation
SmartMesh networks provide configurations that enable
users to make bandwidth and latency versus power trade-
offs both network-wide and on a per device basis. This
flexibly enables solutions that tailored to the application
requirements, such as request/response, fast file trans-
fer, and alerting. Relevant configuration parameters are
described in the SmartMesh IP Users Guide. The design
trade-offs between network performance and current
consumption are supported via the SmartMesh Power
and Performance Estimator.
IP Manager Options
The IP Manager can operate with or without external
SRAM, as described in the LTP5901 and LTP5902 Inte-
gration Guide. When used without external SRAM, the IP
manager is limited to managing networks of 32 motes
or fewer and is limited to a maximum packet throughput
of 24 packets per second. With external SRAM, the IP
Manager supports managing networks of up to 100 motes
and the packet throughput of the IP Manager increases
from 24 packets per second to 36 packets per second.
State Diagram
In order to provide capabilities and flexibility in addition
to ultra low power, Eterna operates in various states, as
shown in Figure 12 Eterna State Diagram and described
in this section. State transitions shown in red are not
recommended.
Start-Up
Start-up occurs as a result of either crossing the power-on
reset threshold or asserting RESETn. After the comple-
tion of power-on reset or the falling edge of an internally
synchronized RESETn, Eterna loads its fuse table which,
as described in the previous section, includes 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 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.

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.
Operation
Once Eterna has completed start-up, 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 pos-
sible power state while fulfilling the demands of network
operation.

Doze State
The doze state consumes orders of magnitude less cur-
rent than the active state and is entered when all of the
peripherals and the CPU are inactive. In the Doze state
Eternas full state is retained, timing is maintained, and
Eterna is configured to detect, wake, and rapidly respond
to activity on I/Os (such as UART signals and the TIMEn
pin). In the doze state the 32.768kHz oscillator and as-
sociated timers are active.
Active State
In the active state, Eternas relaxation oscillator is running
and peripherals are enabled as needed. The ARM Cortex-
M3 cycles between CPU-active and CPU-inactive (referred
to in the ARM Cortex-M3 literature as sleep now mode).
Eterna’s extensive use of DMA and intelligent peripherals
that independently move Eterna between active state and
doze state minimizes the time the CPU is active, signifi-
cantly reducing Eterna’s energy consumption.
