CC2420RTC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended crystal oscillator frequency for the CC2420RTC?
  The recommended crystal oscillator frequency for the CC2420RTC is 32.768 kHz, which is used as the clock source for the real-time clock (RTC) and the radio frequency (RF) synthesizer.
• How do I configure the CC2420RTC for optimal power consumption?
  To configure the CC2420RTC for optimal power consumption, set the device to sleep mode when not transmitting or receiving data, use the lowest possible transmission power, and adjust the data transmission rate to the minimum required for the application.
• What is the maximum transmission distance of the CC2420RTC?
  The maximum transmission distance of the CC2420RTC depends on the environment and the antenna used. In ideal conditions, the transmission distance can be up to 100 meters indoors and up to 1 kilometer outdoors.
• How do I implement frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) with the CC2420RTC?
  To implement FHSS with the CC2420RTC, use the device's built-in frequency synthesizer to hop between 16 different frequency channels in the 2.4 GHz band. The hopping sequence can be programmed using the device's registers.
• What is the maximum data transmission rate of the CC2420RTC?
  The maximum data transmission rate of the CC2420RTC is 250 kbps, which is suitable for low-power wireless applications such as Zigbee and IEEE 802.15.4.
