CC2650: Wireless Communication of CC2500 with CC2650

Part Number: CC2650
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2500, CC2510, CC2652R7, CC2652RSIP, CC2642R, CC2340R5, UNIFLASH

Tool/software:

Hello,

We are in process of shifting from CC2510 to CC2650 considering lower power consumption of the later. On receiver side, we have CC2500 with a powerful micro-controller. We want to keep the receiver side same. 

On CC2500 we have used balun 2450BM15B0003E...And on CC2650 side recommended balun is 2450BM14G0011. Will the communication possible between the two? or does it pose any challenges with packet reception? Let me know.

Is CC2650 is a good choice or is there anything better?

  • Hello,

    Can you list your required PHY properties:

    Modulation format (GFSK, MSK, etc)

    Frequency

    Deviation

    Bandwidth

    Packet Format

    MSB/LSB

    Syncword

    and any special cases.

    Thank you,
    Alex F

  • Hi Alex,

    We are using configuration given by SmartRFStudio for CC2500.

    • Modulation format: GFSK
    • Frequency: 2.4 GHz (ISM band)
    • Data Rate: 250 Kbps (using standard configuration from Smart RF Studio for CC2500)
    • Deviation: As per Smart RF Studio’s standard settings for 250 Kbps
    • Bandwidth: 512 KHz (as per Smart RF Studio)
    • Packet Format: Standard configuration (Preamble + Syncword + Payload + CRC)
    • MSB/LSB: MSB first
    • Syncword: 0xD391 (or based on Smart RF Studio default)
    • Special Cases: None
  • Hello Venugopal Kapre,

    CC2500 supports the settings you list above, however the CC2650 does not.

    CC2652R7

    CC2652RSIP

    CC2642R

    CC2340R5

    among other support your PHY, note you can quickly check this by downloading and opening SmartRF Studio 7 and selecting the target board and seeing if the device supports "Proprietary mode" or not:

    and once opened you can see the list of supported PHYs

    Thank you,

  • Thanks a lot Alex. This helped a lot

  • Hello Alex. Need one help. For CC2510, we were having CC Debugger for flashing. For CC2340R5, any such module is there? Thanks

  • Hello,

    I tend to use the XDS110 for the CC2340R5, the process with UniFlash is very simple, first connect the CC2340R5 and XDS110, the select your device (CC2340R5) and XDS110 should be selected automatically, then open the session. 

    XDS110 Debug Probe (ti.com)

    Thanks,
