CC2530: Is it possible for CC2530 ADC to measure relevant circuits of a MW Transmitter controller and updates the data every second via Zigbee in a energy-saving mode?

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

Hi,

We would like to recording the voltage changes of auxiliary power supplies in a controller of an MW transmitter.

We suppose CC2530 can measure a differential voltage  signal every second and send the data via PCB Zigbee antenna towards a zigbee router outside the transmitter which is operating on air. The CC2530-based mesuring terminal is supplied by 2 CR2032 batteries in series.

A STM32F103-based apparatus which includes a  zigbee module finally receives the data via the router and present them on a capacitive touch panel continuously. 

We would like to know whether it is possible for CC2530 in a power-saving mode to measure by its ADC function and directly transferred via Zigbee function?

And we would like to know whether we have to develop all Zigbee communication protocals by ourselves?

We were told that Ti CC2530Zigbee modules on the Taobao.com market are designed to be used as just Zigbee transparent transmitters via serial communication protocal supported. If we want to use the ADC function of CC2530,we have to develop the relevant Zigbee commnication protocals by ourselves.

Jie

  • Basically, CC2530 has to be waken up when doing ADC reading. It's feasible to waken up doing ADC reading and sending reading out then let CC2530 enters power saving without problem. TI provide Zigbee Stack which is Z-Stack and you don't have to develop all Zigbee protocal by yourself. By the way, CC2530 is old chip and not recommended for new design. I would suggest you to use CC2652 instead CC2530 if this is a new project.

  • Hi Jie,

    Please refer to YK's instructions alongside the Z-Stack 3.0.2 Temperature Sensor/Thermostat application examples and the generic devices examples.
