CC1200EMK-868-930: Using with LaunchPad MCU boards

Part Number: CC1200EMK-868-930
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1120, CC1200, CC1190, , BOOST-CCEMADAPTER

Hello,

I'm looking to prototype the CC1200 with a TI microcontroller. I know the CC1120 has a nice Booster Pack with the CC1190, but as I understand there is no such board for the CC1200. I need the CC1200 b/c I will be doing FHSS with channels wider than 50 kHz. It looks like I can use the CC1200EMK-868-930 with the BOOST-CCEMADAPTER but that's not one of the TI chips specifically listed as compatible with the adapter. Will that still work? I'm going to use the LaunchPad MSP-EXP432E401Y if it matters, because I need the MCU to have Ethernet and USB.

I understand that that doesn't allow me to use SmartRF Studio. Is that actually required to do some sort of calibration or is it just a convenience tool that automated some calculations? How would I get by without it on a production PCB?

Thanks,

Aidan

    Hi Aidan,

    You can use a BOOST-CCEMADAPTER together with a CC1200EMK-868-930 and a LaunchPad. The CC1200 only requires a SPI interface.

    SmartRF Studio is used for simple RF testing and to get settings for the radio. You can use SmartRF Studio in offline mode and export the register settings.
