27.1
SmartRF™ Software for Evaluation (www.ti.com/smartrfstudio)
Texas Instruments' SmartRF Studio can be used for radio performance and functionality evaluation and is
great for exploring and gaining knowledge about the RF-IC products. This software helps the designers of
radio systems to evaluate the RF-ICs easily at an early stage in the design process. It is especially useful
for generation of the configuration data and for finding optimized external component values.
SmartRF Studio software runs on Microsoft™ Windows™ 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows
Vista (32 bit) and Windows 7 (32 bit). SmartRF Studio software can be downloaded from the Texas
Instruments Web page:

RemoTI™ Network Protocol (www.ti.com/remoti)
Most existing remote controls use infrared technology to communicate commands to consumer electronics
devices. However, radio frequency (RF) remote controls enable non-line-of-sight operation and provide
more advanced features based on bidirectional RF communication.
ZigBee Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics (RF4CE) is the result of a recent agreement between
the ZigBee Alliance and the RF4CE Consortium (http://www.zigbee.org/rf4ce) and has been designed to
be deployed in a wide range of remotely-controlled audio and visual consumer electronics products, such
as TVs and set-top boxes. ZigBee RF4CE promises you:
•
Richer communication and increased reliability
•
Enhanced features and flexibility
•
Interoperability
•
No line-of-sight barrier
The RemoTI network protocol is Texas Instruments' implementation of the ZigBee RF4CE standard. It is a
complete solution offering hardware and software support for TI's low-power RF product portfolio. With the
RemoTI network protocol we provide:
•
The industry-leading RF4CE-compliant stack featuring the interoperable CERC profile support, a
simple API, easy-to-understand sample application code, full development kits and reference designs,
and much more.
•
Operation on our best-in-class IEEE 802.15.4 compliant System-on-Chip, the CC2530, with excellent
RF co-existence and RF performance. The four flexible power modes include the lowest-current-
consumption power-down mode for long battery in life low-duty-cycle applications.
•
Extensive worldwide support and tools to ensure that development of ZigBee RF4CE-based products
is simple, fast, and can be completed at minimal cost.
•
The RemoTI network protocol is a Golden Unit platform; that is, it is used for testing other
implementations of the ZigBee RF4CE standard for standard compliance.
