| NEW reference design: CC1120 + Skyworks SKY65313 1W 915 MHz Reference Design |
| The CC112x SKY65313 915 MHz EM Reference Design contains schematics and layout files for the CC112x SKY65313 Evaluation Module. This design demonstrates good techniques for CC112x decoupling and RF layout. For optimum RF performance, the design should be copied accurately. This is a 4-layer reference design with the option to connect to the SMA antenna connector designed for a single ended 50 ohm antenna, or connection to the integrated PCB helical antenna. The RF section has been designed for operation in the 902 to 928MHz (US) frequency bands with 1W (30 dBm) output power. |

| TI's Home Gateway Reference Design makes homes smarter by enabling home automation and smart energy system management in the palm of a hand |
| This easy-to-use reference design links home energy systems that use ZigBee® to any Wi-Fi-router, so consumers can monitor or control their smart energy devices or home automation systems in the palm of a hand via smartphones or tablets. The reference design supports ZigBee, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity right out of the box to allow developers to create home gateways that can interface with multiple systems, products and applications within a smart home. TI's new reference design has been designed in partnership with Alektrona – a specialist in creating networked smart energy products and applications. |
