CC2400-RTB1

RF Transceiver ICS Overview

The CC2400-RTB1 is a low-power single-chip 2.4 GHz ISM band transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within the 2.4 GHz to 2.483 GHz frequency range with a maximum data rate of 1 Mb/s using FSK modulation. The device supports a supply voltage range of 1.6 V to 3.6 V, drawing 24 mA during reception and 19 mA during transmission. It features an SPI interface and is housed in a 48-VFQFN package with an exposed pad. The component functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and delivers 0 dBm output power.

RF Transceiver ICS Feature Summary

• Provides extensive hardware support for packet handling, data buffering, burst transmissions, data coding, and error detection to reduce system workload.
• Integrates a fully functional RF transceiver and a highly integrated, energy-efficient baseband section designed for low-cost wireless applications.

RF Transceiver ICS Applications

• Wireless sensor networks
• Alarm and security systems
• Telemetry and telecommand systems

RF Transceiver ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status before procurement, as this component may be classified as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Confirm that the specific tape-and-reel packaging variant matches the required manufacturing process. Ensure compatibility with existing SPI-based control interfaces and validate that the 48-VFQFN footprint aligns with the target PCB design constraints.

RF Transceiver ICS Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a complete, low-cost solution for 2.4 GHz communication without external mixers or synthesizers. It is suitable for designs prioritizing minimal bill-of-materials count and reduced board space. Consider the NRND status when planning long-term production runs. Evaluate the 1.6 V to 3.6 V operating range against available power supplies in the target environment.

RF Transceiver ICS Part Context

The CC2400-RTB1 belongs to the CC2400 series of radio transceivers from Texas Instruments. This series is engineered for general-purpose ISM band communications, offering a high level of integration. The part represents a single-chip solution that combines RF and baseband functionalities, distinguishing it from discrete component approaches or more complex multi-chip modules found in higher-tier wireless protocols.

RF Transceiver ICS Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. The component is marked as Not Recommended for New Design (NRND), indicating potential obsolescence. Engineers should consult official Texas Instruments resources for any officially endorsed replacements or next-generation alternatives.
