Below are the latest updates from Texas Instruments on Low-Power RF products, events and more.
Z-Stack software
2.1.0 is compliant with ZigBee 2007 and 2006 (supporting both ZigBee and ZigBee PRO), in addition to supporting the Smart Energy (AMI) and Home Automation Profiles. Z-Stack
software 2.1.0 works in combination with TI's SmartRF software 05 platform. This platform includes the MSP430 ultra-low power MCU, the CC2520 RF transceiver, and the CC2591 range extender, which increases your range up to 15 times. Download Z-Stack software for free.
CC2430+CC2591 combo board available: CC2430-CC2591EMK
The CC2430-CC2591EMK evaluation module kit is available for purchase at $99. The kit includes two CC2430+CC2591 modules with the CC2430 SoC and the CC2591 RF front end, plus external
components.
These boards give you an output power of ~19 dBm and a receiver sensitivity of ~ -98 dBm, which will extend your wireless
range up to 15 times over using the CC2430 alone. The boards can be tested by using the EB evaluation boards included in the CC2430DK development kit.
SmartRF software studio, version 6.10.2
- Support for the CC2430_CC2591EM combo board
added
- Support for the CC2520_CC2591EM combo board
added
- CC2500: Register settings for FSCTRL1 changed to fix reduced
sensitivity for 250- and 500-kbaud data rate
New design note: DN110 –
Main Radio Control State Transition Times
This design note explains how the state transition timing is dependent on both the system clock speed and the radio
register settings on the CC111xFx and CC251xFx.
New design note: DN111 –
Current Consumption for a Polling Receiver
This design note shows how to optimize the current consumption for a polling receiver based on some of the digital
features of the CC1100, CC1101 and CC2500, such as WOR and RSSI. The design note also shows how a polling receiver can be implemented using the CC1110/CC1111Fx and CC2510/CC2511Fx.

Do you want to find out more about TI's solution for RF4CE?
TI has joined the newly formed RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) Consortium. This consortium is designed
to create a new protocol that will enable the development of radio-frequency (RF) remote controls to replace IR remote controls. These RF remote controls will deliver richer communications,
increase reliability and improve flexibility.
If you are interested in RF4CE-based products from TI, contact your local sales office or Product Information Center for more information.
Wireless coolstore/cool storage monitoring powered by TI's Z-Stack software
- Location-aware, wireless, real-time temperature
monitoring
- Allows easy monitoring of the product throughout the storage
process, as one end device stays with a pallet
- 3-D visualization of your temperature profile throughout the
coolstore/cool storage facility
- TI SoCs with Z-Stack software provide fast, simple building
blocks for ZigBee
Texas Instruments delivers RFID asset visibility in harsh and metallic environments with two new low-frequency
products
Although 134.2-kHz low-frequency (LF) RFID technology has been used to identify everything from livestock to
automotive parts since the late 1980s, a host of new applications are demanding tags with improved performance in highly metallic or other harsh industrial environments.
TI recently announced two additions to its LF product family: the
12-mm multi-use wedge transponder and 24-mm LF circular inlay. Learn more about this announcement and our full suite of LF products at www.ti.com/rfid.
Low-Power RF Developer Network
TI has launched an extensive network of low-power RF development partners to help customers speed up their application development. The network consists of recommended companies, RF
consultants and independent design houses that provide a series of hardware module products and design services. For more information, see www.ti.com/lprfnetwork.
