“solder” (reverse) side is used for a ground plane. The CC1000PP layout can easily be used as a reference layout by importing it into a PCB CAD program. Chipcon provides the layout in the industry-standard Gerber format. To download the files, please visit the Chipcon web site.
Chipcon application note AN003. Circuit diagram The circuit diagram of the CC1000PP is shown below. There are two versions of the CC1000PP module, the CC1000PP-433 for 433 MHz operation, and the CC1000PP-868 for operation in the 868 MHz and 902-928 MHz bands. Since the 868 version covers both the European 868 MHz band and the US 902-928 MHz band, one system can be used in both Europe and the US using the same hardware, changing the frequency by software control.

The value of the matching components, the VCO inductor and the LC filter will depend on the operating frequency. Bills of materials are supplied for both versions. For operating frequencies other than those listed here, please use the latest version of SmartRF calculate the component values.

The CC1000 is designed to be used together with low cost passive components. The components specified for the CC1000PP are the same as those listed in the data sheet. The only critical component is the VCO inductor, which must be the exact type listed in order for LO leakage to meet specifications.
