CC2510: Radio compatible chip

Frantisek Lysy
Intellectual 540 points
Part Number: CC2510
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2340R5, CC2531, CC2511, CC2652P, CC2642R

Tool/software:

Hello,

I need to build a device that will simply communicate over a short distance with another existing device that uses the CC2510. I don't know the exact protocol yet, but it probably uses one of the methods from the CC2510 examples for wireless communication. I would like to use a newer chip from the CCxxxx series. Can you please advise me which CCxxxx chip to use so that it is radio compatible with the CC2510 and there is a chance to communicate with it? Mainly in terms of frequency, modulation method, supported communication standards, etc.

Thank you very much

    Hello Frantisek Lysy,

    Our CC13xx and CC26xx devices should be able to communicate fine with the CC2510.

    Our newer and more affordable device, CC2340R5 can also communicate with the CC2510, but it does need a few fixes dependent on the PHY and configuration which we may have to take via email if needed. 

    CC2510 is quite modifiable in SmartRF Studio 7 (frequency, data rate, deviation, etc), while CC2340R5 SmartRF Studio 8 is a bit less modifiable (*in terms of deviation/data rate). 

    I would generally say that in order to choose a device here the following details would be nice to know:

    Modulation format:

    Data Rate:

    Deviation:

    Whitening:

    MSB or LSB:

    Packet format:

    Latency or timing requirements:

    (among others)

    Thanks,

    Hello Alex Fager,

    thanks for your response. The idea is that I will choose a suitable chip and use its development board and SmartRF studio and SmartRF Packet Sniffer to sniff the communication of an existing device with CC2510 and thus determine the exact parameters of the radio transmission, which I do not know at the moment. Therefore, I am looking for a chip that covers all the radio capabilities of CC2510 and has a development board available for it. Is such a chip in your portfolio?
    I originally intended to use CC2510, but its development board is no longer available anywhere.
    Do you think that if I build a CC2511 USB Dongle, it will be possible to sniff the communication of CC2510?
    I currently have a CC2531 USB Dongle. Is it possible to use it to sniff the proprietary 2.4 GHz (using SmartRF studio and SmartRF Packet Sniffer) when it is declared only for Zigbee? I think not, but I am not sure.

    Thank you very much for your help

    -Looking at the PHY's that the CC2511 supports, I would say yes.

    -Looking at CC2531, I am not confident that the device can sniff the CC2510 packets.

    -Looking through our chips on SmartRF Studio 7 and 8:

    CC2652P supports GFSK and MSK

    CC2642R supports GFSK and MSK

    CC2340R5 supports GFSK and MSK

    Thanks,
