CC2510+CC2591

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2591, CC2510, CC2592, CC2538, SIMPLICITI

Hello,

If anybody has successfully designed a stable combination of CC2510+CC2591, could you please share the PCB design for reference.

I have currently designed the lone CC2510 as per the recommended designs of TI and am getting a range of 10 meters to 50 meters based on the environment. I need to at least double this range without the use of a repeater circuit.

I am in need of enhancing the range of the CC2510.

Any help will be appreciated.

    For new designs I would recommend using CC2592.

    We don't have a reference design for CC2510+CC259x

    Thank for your reply.

    Can we utilize the CC2538-CC2592 as a direct reference to design the CC2510+CC2592 without making changes to the CC2592 Section?

    Also, I propose to use the Inverted F Antenna instead of the SMA Connector?

    What are the probable changes that I may need to incorporate?

    Thank you for your help

    You may have to do some modifications on the network between CC2510 and CC2592 compared to CC2538+CC2592 due to different PA in the two SoCs. I would add place holders for a series component on the RF_P/  RF_N line in addition to the place holder for a component between RF_P and RF_N.

    The SMA connector is included to ease conducted measurements. In a design that should be included in a product a F antenna is more practical.

    Hi,

    This is to inform all those who are interested in CC2510, I have successfully built the CC2510+CC2592 board and have achieved satisfactory results. Needed to make some modifications in the mrfi_radio.h files to take care of external controls for switching between Tx and Rx modes. (SimpliciTI protocol)

    I have adapted the CC2538+CC2592 specifications and designs as is and am able to communicate between two devices upto a 100 meter distance.

    I guess if I now do some R&D on the existing board and try to do some impedance matching for the antenna, I will be able to achieve longer distances.

    PS: This distance is achieved with SMA connector and 2.4GHz Ducky Antenna on both the devices.

    All the Best.
