December 2013 CC2500EMK Quick Start Guide Opening the box and using the modules with SmartRF04EB 1. Kit Contents 2 x CC2500 Evaluation Modules 2 x Antennas (Pulse W1010, 2 dBi) * Documentation The RF boards in this kit are FCC and IC certified and they are tested to comply with ETSI/R&TTE over temperatures from 0 to +35°C. FCC/IC Regulatory Compliance FCC Part 15 Class A Compliant IC ICES-003 Class A Compliant (*) Picture may deviate! 2. How to use the modules The CC2500EM boards can be plugged into several development boards from Texas Instruments. Most notably, you can use the SmartRF04EB, which is included in the CC2500DK. 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. The board can also be plugged into the SmartRF TrxEB (included in e.g. CC1120DK and CC1200DK) and the MSP430 Experimenter’s Boards. For prototyping with other microcontrollers, plug the EM into the “SoC Battery Board” (www.ti.com/tool/soc-bb). This guide will show how to use the modules together with SmartRF04EB. 3. Plug EM into SmartRF04EB Insert a CC2500EM (EM) with an antenna into the SmartRF04EB (EB). Connect the antenna firmly to the SMA connector on the EM. Caution! The kit contains ESD sensitive components. Handle with care to prevent permanent damage. 4a. Power: Battery There are three different ways of applying power to the EB: The first method involves using an alkaline non- rechargeable battery, either a 9V or a 4xAA battery pack connected to the battery connector on the bottom side of the board Warning! To minimize risk of personal injury or property damage, ONLY use alkaline non- rechargeable batteries. Never use rechargeable batteries to power the board. 4b. Power: DC/External The second method applies DC power using the DC input jack (right in picture, centre is +, sleeve is ground), or by connecting a 4-10V voltage source between the 4-10V and 0V terminals of the power connector (left in picture). It is also possible to connect a 3.3V voltage source between the 3.3V and 0V terminals. The on-board voltage regulators will be bypassed in this case. External Power Supply 1 Requirements: Nom Voltage: 6 VDC Max Current: 800 mA Efficiency Level V 4c. Power: USB The EB can also be powered from the USB bus. Make sure that the SmartRF™ Studio software is installed before connecting the EB to the PC; otherwise you may experience problems in installing it later due to driver issues. Note that if multiple power sources are connected, the source with the highest voltage will power the EB. This means that you should disconnect any attached battery when using a lab supply or USB power; otherwise the battery will be drained. 5. Set Power Switch If a 3.3V source is used as described in 4b above, the switch should be set to the leftmost position. For all other cases, the switch should be set to the rightmost position. This switch can be used to turn off the EB by switching it to the opposite position of that used to turn it on Do not leave the board powered when unattended. 6. Packet Error Rate Test When power is applied to the board, the PER test program will start. You should see the text shown above on the LCD display on both evaluation boards. Press the button marked S1 (lower right corner) to continue. 7. Set Frequency Band Select the desired frequency band of operation by using the joystick. The frequency should match the evaluation module and antenna you are using. Note that the value shown in the display is also the selected value. There is no need to press a button to select or activate the selection. 1 When using an external power supply, make sure it meets the listed requirements in addition to complying with applicable regional product regulatory and safety certification requirements such as UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, and PSE Web sites: www.ti.com/lprf E2E Forum: www.ti.com/lprf-forum Make sure to subscribe to the Low-Power RF Newsletter to receive information about updates to documentation, new product releases, and more. Sign up on the TI web pages. 8. Set Network ID Push the joystick down to display the screen shown above. This lets you set the ID of the node in case you need to run several PER tests simultaneously and you have multiple development kits. Leave this set to 1 for now. 9. Packet Length Push the joystick down to display the screen shown above. This lets you set the length of the packets to be transmitted. The packet length will affect the measured packet error rate. Push the joystick left or right to select the packet length you want to use. 10. Number of Packets Push the joystick down to display the screen shown above. This lets you set the number of packets to be transmitted. Set this to the desired value using the joystick. 11. Select RF Settings Push the joystick down to display the screen shown above. This lets you select preset RF configurations, including modulation and data rate Preset 0: 2-FSK, 2.4 kBaud Preset 1: 2-FSK, 10 kBaud Preset 2: MSK, 250 kBaud Preset 3: MSK, 500 kBaud 12. Select Mode Push the joystick down to display the screen shown above. Use the joystick to select master mode. The EB you have configured now will be the master in the PER test. 13. Configure 2 nd EB Perform steps 3 through 11 on the second EB. Push the joystick down until you get the display shown above. Leave this EB in slave mode. 14. Start PER Push the joystick down on both EBs, and the screen shown above is displayed. Push the joystick right on the slave EB first, and then push the joystick right on the master EB. The PER test will start when the two nodes have successfully connected. 15. Run PER Test The uppermost line of the LCD will show the PER for packets transmitted from the slave to the master, while the second line will show the PER for packets transmitted from the master to the slave. The PER test will end when the number of packets you selected in step 10 is reached or if 100 consecutive packets are lost. 16.…

Texas Instruments Norway AS Gaustadalléen 21 0349 Oslo Norway Tel: (+47) 22 95 85 44 Fax: (+47) 22 95 85 46 Technical Description The CC2500EM is an evaluation board for the CC2500 radio transceiver from Texas Instruments. The CC2500 transceiver has a differential RF output. On the CC2500EM board this differential output is transformed to a single ended, 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 antenna supplied with the board is W1010 from Pulse Electronics. The datasheet of the antenna is attached for further details.

The circuit is intended for the2400- 2483.5 MHzISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and SRD (ShortRange Device) frequency band. The RF transceiver is integrated witha highly configurable baseband modem. The modem supports various modulation formats and has a configurable data rate up to 500kBaud. CC2500provides extensive hardware support for packet handling, data buffering, burst transmissions, clear channel assessment, link quality indication,and wake-on-radio. The main operating parameters and the 64- byte transmit/receive FIFOs ofCC2500can be controlled via an SPI interface.

SAR Exclusion Justification Test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at test separation distances ≤ 50 mm Guidance document reference: 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v05r01, page 11, paragraph 4.3.1(1). The 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at test separation distances ≤ 50 mm are determined by: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW)/(min. test separation distance, mm)] * [ √f(GHz)] ≤ 3.0 for 1 -g SAR and ≤ 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR, where • f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz • Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation • The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison • 3.0 and 7.5 are referred to as the numeric thresholds in the step 2 below The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ≤ 50 mm and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm according to 5) in section 4.1 is applied to determine SAR test exclusion. SAR test exclusion analysis: Assumptions: Since the exact separation distance may vary from sensor to sensor, the minimum separation distance of 5 mm is assumed per the guidance document. Max. power of channel:1.9 mW Min. separation distance:5 mm Max. frequency:2.48 GHz [(Pwr/Dist)*√Freq.] =0.6 The result of the above SAR threshold calculation demonstrates that the result is less than the 1-g numeric threshold of 3 and the 10-g numeric threshold of 7.5. Conclusion: The above analysis shows that the evaluated device qualifies for exemption from SAR testing. Signed: , Chief Engineer 1/17/2013
