Texas Instruments: CC11XLDK-868-915 - 868-915MHz Value Line Development Kit

Kit Overview

The CC11xLDK-868-915 development kit provides a complete hardware performance testing and software development platform for Texas Instruments Sub-1 GHz Value Line. The development kit comes with a pre-programmed packet error rate test. RF range and robustness can be tested with different RF settings, and power consumption can be measured easily. This kit supports 868MHz and 915MHz. An extra Evaluation Module Kit (CC11XLEMK-433 ) is needed to evaluate 433MHz.

The TrxEB, Transceiver Evaluation Board, contains an MSP430 and the following peripherals for prototyping applications: MSP430F5438 MCU , USB interface , Dot matrix LCD 128 x 64, 3 axis digital accelerometer, Light sensor SmartRF Studio is a PC application developed for configuration and evaluation of many of the RF-IC products from Texas Instruments. The application is designed for use with SmartRF Evaluation Boards, such as SmartRF TrxEB, and runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems. SmartRF Studio lets you explore and experiment with the RF-ICs as it gives full overview and access to the devices’ registers to configure the radio and has a control interface for simple radio operation from the PC. This means that SmartRF Studio will help radio system designers to easily evaluate the RF-IC at an early stage in the design process. It also offers a flexible code export function of radio register settings for software developers.

Key Applications: Alarm and security, Industrial and home automation, Medical and health, Metering and smart energy, Portable consumer and enterprise, Remote controls, Wireless audio.
