The CC2500 is a low-cost 2.4 GHz transceiver designed for very low-power wireless applications. Applications include 2400-2483.5 MHz ISM/SRD band systems, including consumer electronics, wireless game controllers, wireless audio, wireless keyboard and mouse, RF enabled remote controls.
The CC2500 is a 2.4 GHz ISM/SRD band transceiver designed for very low‑power wireless applications such as game controllers, wireless keyboards, and audio links. It integrates a highly configurable baseband modem and supports multiple modulation formats (OOK, 2‑FSK, GFSK, MSK) with data rates from 1.2 kBaud to 500 kBaud.
Key features include high sensitivity (‑104 dBm at 2.4 kBaud), low current consumption (400 nA in sleep), programmable output power up to +1 dBm, and extensive packet‑handling hardware. The device is offered in a compact 4 × 4 mm QLP 20‑pin package and complies with EN 300 328, FCC Part 15, and ARIB STD‑T66 regulations.
