5 Using the SmartRF Transceiver Evaluation Board
The SmartRF TrxEB is a flexible test and development platform that works together with RF
Evaluation Modules from Texas Instruments.
An Evaluation Module is a small RF module with RF chip, balun, matching filter, SMA antenna
connector and I/O connectors. The modules can be plugged into the SmartRF TrxEB which lets
the PC take direct control of the RF device on the EM over the USB interface.
Currently, SmartRF TrxEB supports:
-
CC1120EM
- CC1121EM
- CC2520EM
- CC1101EM
- CC1100EM
- CC1100EEM
- CC110LEM
- CC113LEM
- CC115LEM
SmartRF TrxEB is included in e.g. the CC1120 development kit. Some of the above EMs comes
in variants combined with a RF front-end such as CC1190 or CC2590/CC2591. Such variants are
called combo EMs and are also supported by the SmartRF TrxEB. See chapter 8 for details on
how to use SmartRF TrxEB rev.
≤1.5.0 to control a combo EM using SmartRF Studio.
