CC2530: How to check if HGM is working

Jack Loop

Part Number: CC2530
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2592, Z-STACK

Hi,
I wanted to know how I could check if HGM was activated in Z-Stack on a CC2530 + CC2592 ZigBee device. Where would I set a breakpoint on IAR to see this, and how could I check if the HGM was working properly (Higher RX Sensitivity)?

HGM is enable by a GPO so you only need to check the pin status.

Is there a way to check on IAR if receiver sensitivity is improved?

No, there’s not. We use SmartRF Studio 7 and signal generator to do conductive test to verify it.

You have to use signal generator to generate signal into CC2530 (conductive) and also connect CC2530 to SmartRF Studio to check the RSSI of receiving signal.

In HGM, does the CC2530 + CC2592 consume more power?

How much more power does it consume?

If you look into CC2592 datasheet, HGM disable consumes 1.9mA and HGM enable consumes 4mA.
