Question about CC2560--PAN1325

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2560, MSP430BT5190, MSP430F5438A, CC2540

Hi

    I want to develop a bluetooth hardware based on CC2560 and PAN1315.Can I write my software on ez430-rf2560 evaluation tool and then replace the cc2560+ RF with PAN1325.Is there any RFD available for PAN1325 or PAN1315?

    Hello Hansen,

    As in both cases, the microcontroller (MSP430BT5190 - or possibly temporarily MSP430F5438A) is the same, it should not be a problem to start with the eZ kit and port your work to the full kit later.   Of course the HAL will be somewhat different as there may be different I/O connections/buttons etc. 

    Hope this helps,
    Lisa

    Thanks Lisa, are there any reference design available from TI for integrating MSP430BT5190 alongwith cc2560  if i dont intend to use PAN1315/25.

    I dont have the Eval kit with me so i cant see the components mounted on the board, but how critical is the PCB layout when you compare the RFD of CC2540 or CC2551 which

    simply has a balun and chip antenna.

    Hi Hansen,

    Well, fortunate or not, that I am aware of, you will only be able to buy the solution/CC2560 in form of the PAN1315/25 module from Panasonic.   The CC2560 itself we do not sell.   

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/EZ430-RF2560?DCMP=wtbu_ez430rf2560_pan1315&HQS=Other+OT+ez430-rf2560wiki

    The above link has a lot of useful information including the eZ stick pin outs and further links.   I do not believe the reference design is posted/available.

    Regards,
    Lisa

    Hansen,

     

    The use of the PAN1315 module has many advantages. It enables you to develop your application much faster than you would otherwise. Also, modules are precertified so it makes the job of certification much easier. For most customers, the application is more important than spending time (and usually a lot of money) on designing the module from scratch. I would even suggest that you use the PAN131ETU(the whole board) because then all you will need to do is put 2 connectors in your design. It doesn't get any simpler than that :D

    PCB layout is still critical because you're dealing with signals in the 2.4GHz range. You will need to ensure correct impedance matching to whatever antenna you will be using. The PAN1315 already has the integrated filter.

    As a note, we do not provide the design for the EZ430-RF2560.

       Yes PAN1315 seems easy to integrate and you get to work at stack level but its still quite high in cost for lower volumes.Panasonic may need to reduce their prices a lil bit to compete with other integrated bluetooth solution.Maybe the design is too critical for RFD at this moment but we are really looking forward for a design solution from TI for low cost integration in the future if thats possible.Thanks
