Pin Out 

The A2541R24A and A2541R24C radios share a common pin-out and foot print, thus enabling 
the use of the same application PCB layout for US/Europe and low power (short range) versus 
higher  power  (long  range).  Depending  on  the  firmware  inside  the  module,  pin  functionalities 
change.  

3.3.1. 

A2541R24x10 (Module with TI BLE Stack) 

A module with no firmware will show the references to the native CC2541 transceiver chip and 
any additional functions added to it. Below the pin-out is shown:

Where applicable: 

 

NC = “NO Connection”.  

Pin is NOT 

connected internally. 

DNC  =  “Do  Not

 

Connect

”.   

Pin 

reserved  for  internal  use,  ensure 
mating footprint pads are 

isolated

GND = “Ground”

. Connect the
