CC2500RGPR Datasheet, PDF (2/99 Pages) Texas Instruments – Low-Cost Low-Power 2.4 GHz RF Transceiver

CC2500
 Programmable Preamble Quality Indicator
(PQI) for improved protection against false
sync word detection in random noise
 Support for automatic Clear Channel
Assessment (CCA) before transmitting (for
listen-before-talk systems)
 Support for per-package Link Quality
Indication (LQI)
 Optional automatic whitening and de-
whitening of data
Low-Power Features
 400 nA SLEEP mode current consumption
 Fast startup time: 240 us from SLEEP to
RX or TX mode (measured on EM design)
 Wake-on-radio functionality for automatic
low-power RX polling
 Separate 64-byte RX and TX data FIFOs
(enables burst mode data transmission)
General
 Few external components: Complete on-
chip frequency synthesizer, no external
filters or RF switch needed
 Green package: RoHS compliant and no
antimony or bromine
 Small size (QLP 4x4 mm package, 20
pins)
 Suited for systems compliant with EN 300
328 and EN 300 440 class 2 (Europe),
FCC CFR47 Part 15 (US), and ARIB STD-
T66 (Japan)
 Support for asynchronous and
synchronous serial receive/transmit mode
for backwards compatibility with existing
radio communication protocols
