CC2591RGVT

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Overview

The CC2591RGVT is a 2.4-GHz RF front-end module designed as a range extender for low-power transceivers and System-on-Chip products from Texas Instruments. It integrates a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and a Power Amplifier (PA) to enhance link budget in IEEE 802.15.4 and Zigbee applications. The device operates within the 2.4 GHz ISM band and is housed in a 16-VQFN (4x4 mm) package with an exposed pad for thermal management. This component supports improved receiver sensitivity and transmission distance for wireless sensor networks.

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Feature Summary

• Integrates LNA and PA functions into a single compact module
• Optimized for extending communication range in 2.4-GHz wireless protocols
• Designed for compatibility with existing TI low-power RF transceivers

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Applications

• IEEE 802.15.4 compliant wireless sensor nodes
• Zigbee network devices requiring extended coverage
• Low-power RF transmitter and receiver systems

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix RGVT corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the component status is noted as Not Recommended for New Designs, which may impact long-term supply chain stability and future product iterations. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts before procurement.

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Selection Notes

Select this component when existing transceiver sensitivity or output power is insufficient for the target application range. It serves as a drop-in solution for designs utilizing compatible TI SoCs. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements due to the integrated PA functionality. Consider end-of-life status if designing new hardware for long-term production cycles.

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Part Context

This part belongs to the CC2591 family of RF front-ends manufactured by Texas Instruments. It complements other CCxxxx series microcontrollers and transceivers by providing dedicated signal conditioning. The RGVT designation indicates the specific reel packaging variant of the base CC2591 device, ensuring consistent handling specifications during surface-mount assembly.

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not explicitly documented in the provided source material. Verify direct pin-to-pin compatibility with any alternative RF front-end modules from other manufacturers if considering a design change.
