600 world wide website www.digi.com xbee xbee is the brand name of a family of form factor compatible radio modules from digi international . the first xbee radios were introduced under the maxstream brand in 2005 2 and were based on the ieee 802.15.4 2003 standard designed for point to point and star communications at over the air baud rates of 250 kbit s. 3 two models were initially introduced a lower cost 1 mw xbee and the higher power 100 mw xbee pro . 4 since the initial introduction a number of new xbee radios have been introduced and all xbees are now marketed and sold under the digi brand . the xbee radios can all be used with the minimum number of connections power 3.3 v ground data in and data out uart with other recommended lines being reset and sleep . 5 additionally most xbee families have some other flow control input output i o analog to digital converter a d and indicator lines built in . a version called the programmable xbee has an additional on board processor for user s code . the programmable xbee and a surface mount version of the xbee radios were both introduced in 2010 . 6 contents 1 form factors antennas and data modes 2 product line 2.1 current products comparison 3 see also 4 references 5 external links form factors antennas and data modes edit a pair of xbee radios through hole with the wire whip antenna type . xbee modules are available in two form factors through hole and surface mount smt . all xbees with the exception of the xbee 868lp are available in the popular 20 pin through hole form factor . certain xbee modules are also available in a 37 pad surface mount design which is popular for higher volume applications due to the reduced manufacturing costs of smt . xbee modules typically come with several antenna options including u.fl pcb embedded wire and rpsma . the xbees can operate either in a transparent data mode or in a packet based application programming interface api mode . 7 in the transparent mode data coming into the data in din pin is directly transmitted over the air to the intended receiving radios without any modification . incoming packets can either be directly addressed to one target point to point or broadcast to multiple targets star . this mode is primarily used in instances where an existing protocol can not tolerate changes to the data format . at commands are used to control the radio s settings . in api mode the data are wrapped in a packet structure that allows for addressing parameter setting and packet delivery feedback 8 including remote sensing and control of digital i o and analog input pins . 9 product line edit as of march 2016 the xbee radio family consists of 10 xbee 802.15.4 the initial point to point topology or star topology module running the ieee 802.15.4
