Kit Contents 2 x CC1200 Evaluation Modules 2 x Antennas (type depending on frequency) The EMK is an add-on kit to supplement the CC1200DK with evaluation boards supporting additional frequency bands. This document covers the CC1200EMK. The 868-930 MHz RF boards in this kit are FCC and IC certified and both 868-930 MHz and 420- 470 MHz RF boards are tested to comply with ETSI/R&TTE over temperatures from 0 to +35°C. The W5017 whip antenna from Pulse has a gain of 2 dBi and the SPWH24433TI whip antenna from Pulse has a gain of 0 dBi. Antenna types: 868-930 MHz: Pulse W5017 420-470 MHz: Pulse SPWH24433TI 2. How to use the Modules The CC1200EM boards can be plugged into several development boards from Texas Instruments. Most notably, you can use the SmartRF Transceiver EB, which is included in the CC1200DK. This board lets you run a packet error rate (PER) test, control the device from SmartRF™ Studio and it can be used as a development platform. It is also possible to connect the EM to other TI development boards with the appropriate connectors or to the basic “SoC Battery Board”. The latter can be used as a carrier board for the EM to simplify the connection to other boards with a microcontroller. See: http://www.ti.com/tool/soc-bb This guide will show how to use the modules together with SmartRF Transceiver EB (TrxEB). 3. Plug the EM into the TrxEB Insert a CC1200EM into the TrxEB. The connectors will only fit in one position so that the EM cannot be inserted the wrong way. Do not use excessive force on the EM. Remember to mount the antenna. Caution! The kit contains ESD sensitive components. Handle with care to prevent permanent damage. To minimize risk of injury, avoid touching components during operation if symbolized as hot. 4. Select Board Mode Use the switches S1 and S2 to select the operating mode of the board. For the sake of this quick start guide, please select “Enable” and “UART”. This configuration will make it possible to communicate directly with the MSP430 over a virtual COM port on the PC. 5. Power Options There are several ways of applying power to the TrxEB.  2 x 1.5 V AA batteries  USB  External Power Supply  MSP430 Debugger For the batteries and USB, there are voltage regulators on the TrxEB that will set the on-board voltage to 3.3 V. The external power supply should set a voltage that does not exceed 3.3 V. By default, the MSP430 debugger supplies 3.0 V. Note that there should only be one active power source at any one time. Warning! To minimize risk of personal injury or property damage, never use rechargeable batteries to power the board. Do not leave the EVM powered when unattended. 6. Select Power Source Depending on the power source, make sure you connect jumpers to the appropriate pins on the “Power Source” header. For instance, if you use batteries, use a jumper to short- circuit pin 1 and 2 on the header. The last jumper in the row (pin 9-10) should always be mounted, unless the MSP430 FET is used as the power source. 7. Welcome Screen Turn on power with the Main Power switch. You should now see the Texas Instruments logo and a short description of the buttons on the LCD. Pushing any of the five buttons on the board will take you to the main menu. NB! If you don’t see anything on the screen make sure the mode switches are in the correct positions (see step 4 above).. 8. Packet Error Rate Test Select the PER (Packet Error Rate) test by highlighting the selection using the up/down buttons. Confirm your selection by pressing Enter (right button). 9. Select Test Mode The PER test can be run is several modes. Easy Mode sets up a one-way test and uses default settings. This test is convenient for practical range testing. The other test modes are described in the “TrxEB RF PER Test Software Example User’s Guide”. To proceed, highlight “Easy Mode” and press Enter (right button). 10. Select Frequency Select which frequency to use for the test. Make sure that the evaluation modules you have match the selected frequency. 11. Select Mode One of the boards must operate as the slave (transmitter) and the other as master (receiver). Select Slave on one board... ...and Master on the other board. 12. Establish Link The slave node will now wait for a configuration package from the Master. The configuration contains the parameters used for the PER test. The configuration package will be sent when you select “link devices” on the master node. 13. Link Established When the initial linking has completed, the slave node will start the test by continuously transmitting packets to the master. 14. Start the Receiver (master) On the master node, you can select the number of packets you want to receive in order to calculate the packet error. When selecting “Start PER Test”, the master (receiver) will begin to count the number of received packets and provide some statistics. 15. PER Test Results The master will display a window that plots the received signal strength (RSSI) for each packet. Press the “Up” button to go to the detailed statistical window. 16. PER Test Results The statistics window will show the error rate based on the number of lost or erroneous packets divided by the total number of packets that should have been received. 17. Troubleshooting It you are experiencing problems with this test, please check the following:  Nothing is shown in the display! Make sure the mode switches are in the correct positions (see step 4 above).  Please visit the kit web page and check for updated SW and documentation. Updated SW can be downloaded to the device using IAR EW430 or SmartRF Flash Programmer.  If you get poor PER results at …

Texas Instruments Norway AS Gaustadalléen 21 0349 Oslo Norway (+47) 22 95 85 44 (+47) 22 95 85 46 Technical Description The CC1200EM-868-930 is an evaluation board for the CC1200 RF transceiver chip from Texas Instruments. The board will only function together with the SmartRF Transceiver Evaluation Board (TrxEB) which is included in the CC1200 Development Kit. The CC1200 has a single ended PA output and a differential LNA input. On the CC1200EM-868-930 board these RF inputs and outputs are combined and transformed to a 50 ohm signal through a passive component (capacitor/inductor) balun. The output of the balun is low pass filtered to reduce harmonic radiation and then connected to an SMA connector. The CC1200EM-868-930 board is equipped with an 868 - 928 MHz whip antenna W5017 from Pulse. The antenna gain is 2 dBi.
