Evaluation module Texas Instruments CC2550EMK

Detailed Description

This evaluation kit includes 1 CC2550EM evaluation module and antenna.

This evaluation module is an add-on daughter board that require a CC2500 development kit for evaluation and development.

• 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 SmartRF04DK includes a a Silicon Labs 8051 core MCU with 16 kB of program memory and 1 kB of data memory. By programming this MCU and utilizing the various peripherals included on the Evaluation Board, the user can easily make a prototype of the intended application. All signals are brought out on 0.1" pin-row connectors so easy connection of other required circuity is possible. These connectors are also compatible with Agilent logic analyser probes for easy debugging. It is also possible to disconnect the Silicon Labs MCU from the EM board, and connect a MCU selected by the user to the I/O connectors.
