ccRF click
1. Introduction
ccRF click is an accessory board in
™
mikroBUS
form factor. It's a compact and
™
easy solution for adding RF transceiver to
your design. It features CC2500 Low-Power
2.4 GHz RF transceiver as well as PCB
trace antenna. ccRF click ™ communicates
with the target board microcontroller via
mikroBUS SPI (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS), RST
™
and PWM lines. The board is designed to
use 3.3V power supply only. LED diode
(GREEN) indicates the presence of power
supply.
2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board, make sure
™
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left
and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in

perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into desired
mikroBUS ™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at
the mikroBUS socket. If all of the pins are
™
aligned correctly, push the board all
the way into the socket.
4. Essential features
CC2500
ccRF click ™ with it's IC is a low-power
2.4 GHz transceiver designed for the 2400-
2483.5 MHz ISM and SRD frequency band.
CC2500
The is integrated with a highly
configurable baseband modem that supports
various modulation formats and has data rate
up to 500 kBaud. All these features make
this board ideal for consumer electronics,
wireless audio, wireless keyboard and mouse
