RC1880HPCF-GPR

Overview

The RC1880HPCF-GPR is a high-power sub-1 GHz RF transceiver module designed for RIIoT gateway applications. It utilizes the CC1310 integrated circuit and supports frequencies between 902 MHz and 928 MHz. Key electrical parameters include a maximum output power of 27 dBm, receiver sensitivity of -124 dBm, RX current of 12.5 mA, and TX current of 350 mA. The module offers a data rate of 50 kbps and features SPI and UART serial interfaces. It includes 128 kB of flash memory and 20 kB of RAM, operating without an integrated antenna.

Feature Summary

• High-output power capability up to 27 dBm for extended range communication
• Ultra-low receiver sensitivity of -124 dBm for reliable signal detection
• Integrated co-processor architecture based on the CC1310 SoC
• Castellation surface-mount package design for direct board integration

Applications

• RIIoT (Radiocrafts Industrial Internet of Things) gateway modules
• Industrial automation sensor networks
• Long-range telemetry systems requiring high transmit power

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency band configuration (902-928 MHz) against regional regulatory requirements before deployment. Confirm that the host system can supply sufficient current during transmission peaks, as the TX current reaches 350 mA. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the castellation SMD package dimensions and provides adequate thermal dissipation for high-power operation.

Selection Notes

Select this module when high transmit power and superior sensitivity are critical for network coverage. It is suitable for scenarios where standard low-power modules fail to maintain connectivity. Consider the higher current consumption compared to standard variants when designing the power management subsystem. Verify compatibility with the intended application protocol stack supported by the CC1310 core.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Radiocrafts RC18x0HPCF series, which focuses on high-performance industrial IoT solutions. Unlike lower-power variants such as the RC1880CEF, the HPCF-GPR variant emphasizes maximum output power and sensitivity. It serves as a bridge between industrial devices and central gateways within the RIIoT ecosystem, leveraging the capabilities of the Texas Instruments CC1310 processor.
