Product details
Overview
ZGM230-DK2603A from Silicon Labs is a compact, low-cost development kit for battery-powered Z-Wave 800 IoT devices, built around the ZGM230S SiP Module (ZGM230SB27HGN3) featuring a 39 MHz ARM Cortex-M33 core, 512 kB flash, 64 kB RAM, +14 dBm TX power, and -110.9 dBm RX sensitivity at 100 kbps.
For engineers reviewing the ZGM230-DK2603A datasheet, ZGM230-DK2603A pinout, ZGM230-DK2603A application, or ZGM230-DK2603A equivalent, this kit delivers rapid prototyping capability with integrated sensors (humidity/temperature, ambient light, pressure, 6-axis IMU, Hall effect, LC metal detection), on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger, USB Type-C virtual COM port, PTI, and Qwiic® connector - all optimized for ultra-low-power evaluation of Z-Wave mesh networking.
Technical Context
The ZGM230-DK2603A implements a complete Z-Wave 800 protocol stack reference platform, integrating the ZGM230S SiP Module with dual-domain power control enabling independent enable/disable of sensor subsystems (e.g., Si7021, BMP384, ICM-20689) via GPIO-controlled switches (PC07, PD03) to minimize active current draw.
It supports three power sources - USB Type-C (5 V), CR2032 coin cell (1.9–3.6 V), or external battery - with automatic switchover and isolation; energy profiling is enabled via Mini Simplicity Connector for AEM and packet trace using external Silicon Labs debuggers.

FAQ
What is the primary purpose of the ZGM230-DK2603A?
The ZGM230-DK2603A is a certified Z-Wave 800 development kit intended for rapid prototyping and evaluation of battery-powered IoT end devices. It integrates the ZGM230S SiP Module with six environmental sensors, on-board J-Link debugging, and multiple power options - enabling engineers to validate Z-Wave network behavior, sensor fusion algorithms, and ultra-low-power sleep/wake cycles before committing to custom hardware. The ZGM230-DK2603A is not a production module but a fully functional evaluation platform.
Does the ZGM230-DK2603A support Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates?
Yes, the ZGM230-DK2603A includes an 8 Mbit Macronix MX25R8035F SPI flash memory dedicated to OTA firmware updates and data logging. This external flash is directly interfaced with the ZGM230S SiP Module and is supported by Silicon Labs' Simplicity Studio™ and Z-Wave SDK tools. Firmware images can be delivered wirelessly over the Z-Wave mesh network and written to the flash using the provided bootloader infrastructure in the ZGM230-DK2603A BSP.
Which sensors are included on the ZGM230-DK2603A and how are they powered?
The ZGM230-DK2603A integrates six sensors: Si7021 (RH/temp), VEML6035 (ambient light), Si7210 (Hall effect), ICM-20689 (6-axis IMU), BMP384 (pressure), and LESENSE-based LC metal detector. All I²C sensors (Si7021, VEML6035, Si7210, BMP384) share a common enable signal (PC07), while the IMU (ICM-20689) uses a dedicated enable (PD03). Power gating allows software-controlled shutdown to reduce system current below 0.5 µA in minimum board sleep mode.
Can the ZGM230-DK2603A be powered solely by a CR2032 battery?
Yes, the ZGM230-DK2603A supports standalone operation from a CR2032 coin cell (1.9–3.6 V nominal), with automatic switchover when USB is connected. In battery-only mode, the board achieves sub-microamp quiescent current (0.5 µA typical) when the ZGM230S is in EM4S and all peripherals are disabled or powered down. The on-board LDO and power isolation circuitry prevent battery drain during USB connection and ensure stable 3.3 V rail delivery across operating conditions.
What debugging interfaces does the ZGM230-DK2603A provide?
The ZGM230-DK2603A provides three complementary debugging interfaces: (1) On-board SEGGER J-Link via USB Type-C for programming, breakpoints, and real-time tracing; (2) Virtual COM port for UART-based application logging and command interaction; and (3) Packet Trace Interface (PTI) for RF packet-level visibility into Z-Wave transmit/receive activity. Additionally, the Mini Simplicity Connector enables advanced energy profiling and wireless network analysis using an external Silicon Labs debugger.
