Low Power RF for Academia
Chipcon tools for Wireless Projects
The Chipcon product line of low-power RF ICs
operate at sub-1GHz or 2.4GHz ISM band frequencies
providing robust digital communication using
proprietary and industry standards (such as IEEE
802.15.4).
Applications include home automation & security, PC
peripherals, remote control, industrial process
monitoring,
and
wireless
sensor
networks.
Typical data rates are in the range 1.2K to 500K bps.
Device Nomenclature:
CCXXXX
Chipcon devices cover 2 frequency ranges:
CC10XX/CC11xx - Sub 1GHz,
ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and
frequency bands at 315, 433, 868 and 915 MHz.
CC24xx and CC25xx -2.4 GHz,
ISM and SRD band: 2,400 - 2,483.5 MHz.
With 3 types of radio:
CCxx5x - Transmitter
CCxx0x - Transceiver (transmitter
and receiver)
CC2x2x - 802.15.4 Transceiver
CCxx1x – System-on-Chip
(SoC)
CC2x3x - 802.15.4 SoC
Using the CC11xx and CC25xx devices, students
can develop their own proprietary MAC and
network layers. With free downloadable software
and a development kit, you are able to test range,
data rates and modulation/transmission techniques
straight out of the box. Once you are satisfied with
the performance of the radio, you can connect your
own MCU to a transceiver, or program the SoC
CPU, to start developing your project immediately.
With CPU, memory, power management, and
peripherals all in one chip, the SoC devices are
ideal for teaching SoC design concepts and
programming.
And some with
added
functionality:
CC2431– Hardware
location engine
CC2511– USB
controller on-chip
About ZigBee®
ZigBee is an international protocol defined by an
alliance of companies, including TI. It has been
developed to ensure interoperability between
different devices in an ad-hoc wireless network,
which is optimized for low-power, many nodes,
and ease of configuration. For teaching purposes, it
may be more educational to configure classroom
networks manually.
ZigBee is useful if:
- you are developing a large network with
hundreds of nodes, multiple hops, or it is an
evolving “ad-hoc” network
- you need interoperability between manufacturers

EB - Evaluation Board
Smart RF04 EB
The Smart RF04 EB is a hostboard for the EM. It has an onboard 8051 microcontroller for use
with the transceivers, and can also
be used to program the SoCs.
Data rate: 250 kbps
DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)

Digital RSSI / LQI support
Hardware MAC encryption (AES-128)
Battery monitor
System-on-Chip – CCxx1x, CC2x3x devices
The SoC uses an enhanced 8051 core. This uses the standard
8051 instruction set. Instructions execute faster than the standard
8051. One clock per instruction cycle is used as opposed to 12
clocks per instruction cycle in the standard 8051.
It features a range of peripherals, including:
a LCD
4 LEDs
5-way push-switch
2 potentiometers
Audio in/out
It also has all the connections you need to connect your own
peripherals or microcontroller.
DB – Demonstration Board
(CC2430DB)
The CC2430 DB is a sensor board. It
contains a PCB antenna and a USB
connector for use with the ChipCon
packet-sniffer. The CC2430 is onboard.
It features a range of peripherals, including:
Temperature sensor
Light sensor
Switches
LEDs
Potentiometer
Accelerometer
CC2511 EM – USB Dongle
EM – Evaluation Module
The EM contains the minimum components for
a RF part to function.
With a tested RF section, and the complete pinout available, it removes the need for RF design
when prototyping.
Note: A SmartRF04EB is required to program the SoC EMs

*NOTE:
Until Q4 2007, the price for the CC1110DK is $649.
Also the contents are temporarily changed:
- The CC1110EM boards are replaced with two
CC2510EMs and two CC1100EMs.
- Except for the radio, the CC2510 is identical to the
next version of the CC1110 chip, thus full software
development can be carried out using the CC2510.
