The CC2400 single-chip RF transceiver provides a highly integrated, flexible low-cost solution for applications using the world wide unlicensed 2.4 GHz frequency band. The CC2400DBK demonstration board kit is a complement to the development kit (DK) as the hardware is representative of an actual application, and it is well suited as a prototyping platform for application code. The CC2400DBK Demonstration Board Kit includes two CC2400DB Demonstration Boards. These boards contain a CC2400 with necessary support components, an Atmel mega8 AVR microcontroller, a PCB antenna, as well as a joystick, buttons and LEDs.
This manual describes the CC2400DBK Demonstration Board Kit, a development platform that includes two CC2400 transceiver boards, an AVR Atmega8L microcontroller, a PCB antenna, joystick, buttons and LEDs. It explains how to program the board using Atmel AVR Studio, provides wiring diagrams, and lists the kit contents.
The document is organized into sections on the RF front‑end, antenna design, power supply regulators (3.3 V and 1.8 V), RS‑232 serial interface, microcontroller features, PCB layout, and troubleshooting steps. Contact information for Chipcon (a Texas Instruments business) is provided at the end.
