Inquiry about CC2530-CC2591-Evaluation Module

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2591, CC2530

Greetings,

I wanted to ask that how do I use this kit in BALUN mode only (range-extender not mounted)? How L21 & L41 are going to be mounted? The schematic symbol shows a 3 pad bead. Are the inductors going to be mounted diagonally in the layout? Please see the attachment of the Layout and help me with the problem.

Regards,

Muhammad Rehan.

  • If I understand you correctly you want to use the CC2530+CC2591 as CC2530 only. The CC2591 has a differential input and to use CC2530 stand alone you would need a diff to single structure which you don't have space for.
  • Dear TER,

    Thank you for your response.
    Actually I want to know the function of L21 & L41 shown in the above comment. Why these components have tri pad? How is the BALUN and Range Extender are connected to the CC2530?

    Regards,
  • To connect the CC2530 output to the CC2591 input by fitting L21/ L41 between 3 and 2 (L21) and 1 and 2 (L41). U3 is added to the design to be able to connect the CC2591 input by using the P4 SMA connector you may use L21 between pad 1 and 2 and L41 between 2 and 3.

    If you want to connect CC2530 to CC2591 U3 is not in use.
