CC2652R: FCC Certification of RF ICs and RF PCB Board and Modules

Part Number: CC2652R


I am working on a PCB with a CC2652R (sample IC) and have a few question about certification; pardon my naiveté .

1) Do you plan to FCC certify the CC2652R chip, or has it already been done? I mean the (non-beta) production part?

2) Approximately when will the production version of CC2652R come out? When will it be certified?

3) If I make a little 2-layer PCB with a certified CC2652R IC on it, add a printed antenna, oscillator and a temp sensor plus some caps and resistors, will I have to certify my PCB? (This is my main question so please elaborate on the need for certification.)

4) How long does it usually take and cost for someone to get certified a PCB like what I’ve mentioned which will be used as part of a tracking-type system?

I'm concerned that the cost and time of certification could break the shoestrings of my projects shoestring budget.

I'm sure this information will be useful to many people.

Thanks so much in advance!,

  • CC2652R is not FCC certified since it's not the IC, but the end-product that needs to be certified. The CC2652R reference design has been thoroughly tested against FCC rules in our lab so if you follow this design you will be in a good position to get your product certified.

    As for time and cost I suggest you contact an accredited test house.
  • Thanks Sverre.
    Can you please contact me directly for a non-public question regarding approach to using the reference design?
