CC430 Reference Design, Available NOW!!

Dear CC430 community,  

The CC430 EVM Rev3.2 design files are now officially on the web. This version is considered the official CC430 reference design. This is based on pre-screening results for both ETSI and FCC in the 868 and 915 MHz, respectively.

The files (available here as "EM430F6137RF900 Rev 3.2 Reference Design Files") include schematics, gerbers, BOM, and stackup description. A picture of the board, below.

Note that this version of the board is a newer revision than the one currently being sampled on a preliminary basis, but we wanted to post it up for you guys that are using whip antennas and want to know how to spin a board that will be ETSI and/or FCC compliant. Online availability of the boards is currently under discussion, but I will update the blog as soon as we have some more specific information.

Also note that these same files will soon be updated with both a 315 MHz and 433 MHz schematics and BOM's. The same gerbers (layout) and stackup will be applicable to all three versions of the board - we only change the L's & C's in the impedance matching circuit and, of course, the antenna.

Best Regards, ~Miguel
