OLIMEX MSP430-CCRF, User Manual

Page: 2 / 16

INTRODUCTION:
MSP430-CCRF is development board with CC430F5137IRGZ microcontrol-
ler from Texas Instruments. This ultra-low-power microcontroller has integrated RF
transceiver. The board has also UEXT, which can be modified as device or host.
MSP430-CCRF can communicate with other boards with integrated CC430F5137IR-
GZ via radio connection.
BOARD FEATURES:
•
Microcontroller:
CC430F5137IRGZ
•
JTAG
• UEXT
•
PWR jack for 2 x 1.5V AA batteries
• on-board voltage regulator
•
On-bard pcb antenna
•
Supported radio frequencies bands 868/915 MHz – software selectable.
By default – 868 MHz.
•
Maximal permissible distance between two MSP430-CCRF boards
depends on RF chip's output power and the selected radio frequency
band. When RF chip's output power is set to maximum (>10 dBm),
then :
- If RF band is 868 MHz, distance is more than 200 m.
- If RF band is 915 MHz, distance is maximum 7-8 m.
•
user button
• status led
•
RTC crystal
• extension pin holes for most of the microcontroller pins
•
FR-4, 1.00 mm, soldermask, component print
•
Dimensions: 78.49 x 39.12mm (3.09 x 1.54")
ELECTROSTATIC WARNING:
The
MSP430-CCRF
board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The board
must not be subject to high electrostatic potentials. General practice for working
with static sensitive devices should be applied when working with this board.
