Texas Instruments - Development kit for fully-integrated single-chip radio transceiver (CC1200)

Texas Instruments now offers the CC1200 Development Kit, which provides a complete platform for hardware performance testing and software development for its CC1200 devices below 1GHz. CC1200 is a fully integrated single-chip radio transceiver designed to achieve high performance with very low power consumption and low voltage operation in a cost-effective wireless system. The development kit is pre-programmed with a packet error rate test that makes it easy to evaluate the RF performance of the device out of the box. RF range and robustness can be tested with different RF settings, and power consumption can be easily measured. The kit supports a frequency range of 868 to 930MHz. Additional plug-in boards (EMK) can be purchased separately to support other frequencies. The kit includes the SmartRF Transceiver Evaluation Board (TrxEB), which has many useful features for developing prototype software, and USB connectivity to connect the evaluation board to a PC and control SmartRF Studio's radio.
