CC2500: CC2500

Part Number: CC2500
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2511,

May I know whether 2500/2511 is a set of TX/RX?
Can I adjust the PA for the different distance?

A: The distance maybe around 12~15 m (max.), or 2~5m, may I use SW to adjust when install to field not at factory?

B: How to connect RX to our system? The RX should have interface, right?

Hi Ray,
CC2500 is just a radio transceiver whereas CC2511 is a wireless MCU which has a 8051 mated with CC2500 radio core.

For CC2500 you will require an external MCU interface but not so for CC2511. You can change the TX power settings on both devices. You can find more information in their respective datasheets.

For more information on RF range for various devices please see the following:
