Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1310, , CC1311P3, CC1352P, CC1311R3

Hi Experts,

Can you help with the inquiry below?

A customer encountered an issue with smartrf studio 7. Their cc1310 was configured with frequency 433.92032 MHz but it cannot receive any data.

However, with frequency 868, it's active normal.

Would you kindly help?

  • Hi Marvin,

    The LAUNCHXL-CC1310 BOM is for 868/915 MHz operation, so it will not receive packets in the 433 MHz band.

    TI evaluation hardware for the CC13x0 devices for operation in the 433 MHz band is no longer available. So, there are four main options for the customer:

    1. For the CC13x0 devices, the CC13xxEM-7XD-4251 (SWRC330): https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/swrc330 has a BOM for 433 MHz operation; the customer would need to mount the 433 MHz BOM from that design onto the LAUNCHXL-CC1310.
    2. Alternatively, the LAUNCHXL-CC1352P-4 (SWRC352): https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/swrc352 has a BOM for 433 MHz operation (and is a more modern device).
    3. The CC1311P3 RGZ (7x7mm) device is pin-to-pin compatible with CC1352P designs and offers improved RF performance compared to the CC1310. It can use the same 433 MHz BOM as the LAUNCHXL-CC1352P-4 or the LP-CC1352P7-4 (SWRC373): https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/swrc373 (the latter is a more recent design).
    4. The CC1311R3 offers the same improvements (it uses the same RF front-end as the CC1311P3 and CC1352P) but without the integrated +20 dBm power amplifier. This would be the closest to the CC1310 whilst still offering the same performance improvements over the CC1310 and comes in 7x7mm and 5x5mm package sizes.

    The last option, switching to the CC1311R3, is the best from a support perspective. 

    Migrating between different members of the CC131x device family is explained in the following App Note: SWRA814 (SimpleLink CC131x and CC135x Family Hardware Migration Guide) https://www.ti.com/lit/swra814
