Description

1.1 Description
The TRF6901 RF tool kit is to be used to evaluate the functionality and system
performance of Texas Instrument's TRF6901 ISM-band transceiver. It is
intended to be an evaluation tool and is not to be considered a reference
design. It is important to remember that board layout is a critical parameter
affecting the performance of any RF device. The performance of the TRF6901
on the TRF6901 RF EVM demonstrates one implementation of a TRF6901
transceiver layout.

1.3 TRF6901 EVM/Parallel Port Configuration

The TRF6901 EVM/parallel port configuration, as shown in Figure 1−1, is to
be used when observing the functionality of the TRF6901 on the TRF6901 RF
EVM stand alone via a standard PC parallel port. Chapter 2—TRF6901 RF
EVM PCB Hardware covers the TRF6901 RF EVM in detail.

1.4 TRF6901 EVM/Serial Port Module Configuration

The TRF6901 EVM/serial port module configuration, as shown in Figure 1−2,
is to be used when observing the functionality of the TRF6901 on the TRF6901
RF EVM with the serial port module via a standard PC serial port. With this
configuration, the system mode functionality can also be observed. See
Chapter 6—TRF6901 RF Tool Kit System Mode for further details on the
system mode operation.
