RC1880CEF

Overview

The RC1880CEF is an ISM sub-1GHz RF transceiver module by Radiocrafts AS, utilizing the CC1310 IC. It operates within the 862MHz to 930MHz frequency range with a data rate of 50kbps and 2FSK modulation. The module delivers 14dBm output power and -110dBm sensitivity. Power consumption is 24mA during reception and 32mA during transmission, supported by a 1.8V to 3.8V supply. It features 128kB flash and 20kB SRAM, SPI/UART interfaces, and a castle-shaped SMD package.

Feature Summary

• Supports IEEE 802.15.4 (6LoWPAN) protocol stack
• Integrated high-performance CC1310 processor core
• Castle-shaped surface mount design for compact integration

Applications

• Wireless sensor networks requiring 6LoWPAN compliance
• Industrial IoT monitoring systems
• Smart metering applications in ISM bands

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix CEF indicates the inclusion of the associated evaluation board or specific packaging configuration as distinct from the standard RC1880 module. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and ECCN classification for export requirements. Ensure the supplier documentation explicitly links this part number to the 802.15.4 capabilities described.

Selection Notes

Select this variant when official evaluation hardware for 802.15.4 development is required alongside the transceiver. The integrated CC1310 provides sufficient processing for complex protocol stacks. Compare against standard RC1880 units if evaluation tools are not needed for the production phase.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Radiocrafts RC series of sub-1GHz modules. It is based on the Texas Instruments CC1310 SoC, combining RF front-end capabilities with a Cortex-M3 processor. The CEF designation typically associates the module with specific development kits for protocol verification.
