CC2651R3SIPA: certification process

Part Number: CC2651R3SIPA
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640R2F, CC2652RB,

Hi,

We have a product that uses CC2640R2F .  We need to move to a part number with a bigger flash and that can possibly simplify the international certification process (FCC, ISED, ETSI RED).

The product is currently certified only ETSI RED for Europe.

To have more flash it could be fine:

  • CC2642R1F
  • CC2652RB

To get more flash and to simplify also the certification process, perhaps it would be worth evaluating:

CC2651R3SIPA

 

Few questions.

  1.  As CC2651R3SIPA is a pre-certified module which contains all the RF component inside (radio+balun+antenna), can you confirm that it is possible to skip the radio certification? We are interested in certifying the product FCC, ISED and ETSI RED for CE. The expectation is that you can skip all radio tests and only certify the other parts of the board for these standards.
  2. Is there any certification already done by TI for our current CC2640R2F (or CC2642R1F/ CC2652RB) that can help us simplify the certification process? (It must be considered that the balun and the antenna are both external components of Johanson Technology)

  • Hi Carloalberto,

    For question 1, CC2651R3SIPA is designed for OEM integrators. You must follow the guidelines for using certified modules. See https://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra748/swra748.pdf for more information. If you want to simplify the compliance process, this is definitely the way to go.

    For question 2, no as a stand alone component there's no testing we've done that would reduce your compliance testing requirements. The whole system design from IC to antenna is what is qualified in these tests. Just one component on it's own wouldn't give a pass / fail indication. 

    Thanks,
