Evaluation Kit Texas Instruments CC1110EMK433

Detailed Description

• Evaluate the SmartRF04 products.

  Right out of the box, the user can do range testing (PER testing) and transfer data from one PC to another using the SmartRF04DK. This enables the user to quickly find out how well the SmartRF04 products fit the intended application. A number of demonstration applications serve to highlight the innovative features of the SmartRF04 ICs.

• Perform RF measurements. Using SmartRF Studio, the user can configure the radio ICs with parameters that suit the intended application and easily measure sensitivity, output power and other RF parameters.
• Develop a prototype. The pin rows on the SmartRF04EB can easily be connected to an existing system for prototyping.

This evaluation kit includes two CC1110EM 433 MHz modules and antennas. The CC1110EMs are add-on daughter boards that require two SmartRF04DKs (included in CC1101DK) for evaluation and development. Alternatively the CC1110EMs can be mounted on SOC-BBs (System-on-Chip Battery Boards) to prototype standalone low power RF nodes.

The CC1110Fx/CC1111Fx is a true low-power sub-1 GHz system-on-chip (SoC) designed for low power wireless applications. The CC1110Fx/CC1111Fx combines the excellent performance of the state-of-the-art RF transceiver CC1101 with an industry-standard enhanced 8051 MCU, up to 32 kB of in-system programmable flash memory and up to 4 kB of RAM, and many other powerful features. The small 6×6 mm package makes it very suited for applications with size limitations.

The CC1110Fx/CC1111Fx is highly suited for systems where very low power consumption is required. This is ensured by several advanced low-power operating modes. The CC1111Fx adds a full-speed USB 2.0 interface to the feature set of the CC1110Fx. Interfacing to a PC using the USB interface is quick and easy, and the high data rate (12 Mbps) of the USB interface avoids the bottlenecks of RS-232 or low-speed USB interfaces.
