SiFLEX01 TRANSCEIVER MODULE DATASHEET MODULE OVERVIEW Figure 3 shows the internal interconnects of the ICs on the SiFLEX01 module. Consult the respective IC datasheets for details, or contact LSR sales to purchase the SiFLEX01 module schematics as part of LSR’s ModFLEX™ design program. For a high-level block diagram of the SiFLEX01 module, see Figure 1.

SiFLEX01 TRANSCEIVER MODULE DATASHEET Microcontroller The CC430 contains an MSP430 16 bit RISC core with 16 registers. The radio registers allow access to radio functions without the bottleneck of an intermediate interface. There are 5 modes of operation including Active Mode and 4 low power modes with progressively lower power achieved through disabling peripherals and clocks. RAM is organized into 2k sectors which can be powered down to save current when not in use.

SiFLEX01 TRANSCEIVER MODULE DATASHEET Radio The internal radio is based on the TI CC1101. It is a low-IF type with all digital AGC and filtering. Memory mapped registers are used for data access and controlling radio characteristics. Figure 5 CC430 Sub 1 GHz Radio Block Diagram RF Power Amplifier The SiFLEX01 module contains a TI CC1190 front-end chip. It is capable of 250mW output power.

SiFLEX01 TRANSCEIVER MODULE DATASHEET DEVELOPMENT TOOLS TI MSP-FET430UIF IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430 Custom firmware development can be done on the SiFLEX module using development tools available thought TI. Shown in Figure 6, a MSP-FETUIF USB interface is required. It plugs directly into the SiFLEX Development Board, and can easily be adapted to other hardware. See the Texas Instruments website for more information. Also required is Embedded Workbench for TI MSP430 from IAR Systems.
