Product Description

The CC2400 is a true single-chip 2.4 GHz

RF transceiver designed for low-power

and low-voltage wireless applications. The

RF transceiver is integrated with a

baseband modem supporting data rates

up to 1 Mbps.

The CC2400 is a low-cost, highly integrated

solution enabling robust wireless

communication in the 2.4 - 2.4835 GHz

unlicensed ISM band. It is intended for

systems compliant with world-wide

regulations covered by EN 300 440

(Europe), CFR47 Part 15 (US) and ARIB

STD-T66 (Japan).

Targeting a wide range of applications at

2.4 GHz, the CC2400 supports over-the-air

data rates of 10 kbps, 250 kbps and

1 Mbps without requiring any modifications

to the hardware.

The CC2400 provides extensive hardware

support for packet handling, data

buffering, burst transmissions, data coding

and error detection reducing the workload

on the host microcontroller.

The main operating parameters of CC2400

can be programmed via an SPI-bus. In a

typical system CC2400 will be used

together with a microcontroller and a few

external, passive components.

CC2400 is based on Chipcon’s SmartRF®-

03 technology in 0.18 μm CMOS.
