  • Page 10 CC2430 ® Powering SmartRF 04EB ® If several power sources are connected to SmartRF 04EB the board will be powered from the supply that supplies the highest voltage. Figure 4: Power switch setting The Power Switch S3 must be set according to what power source is used. If 3.3V is applied using the power terminal block, the switch should be set to the left position.
  • Page 11 Chebychev filter. This filter serves to attenuate frequencies above 6 kHz, and so converts the PWM signal to an analogue audio signal. A headphone amplifier IC (TPA4411 from Texas Instruments) is used to drive the headphones. Note that the headphone amplifier IC uses switch-mode power supply techniques to generate negative voltages, and this may cause electrical noise.

  • Page 14 CC2430 EM connectors ® The EM connectors are used for connecting the EM to the SmartRF 04EB. The connectors P1 and P2 are used as the main interface. The EM should be used as an RF reference design with the Chipcon SoC, decoupling, and all required RF circuitry.
  • Page 15 CC2430 6.10 EM LCD connection Please note that the I/O pins P2_3 and 2_4 on the SoC are connected to a 32 kHz X- oscillator on the CC2430EM boards. The LCD display is therefore internally, on the EM, swapped from P1_2 to P2_3 and P2_0 to P2_4 as shown in Figure 8. Therefore there is no access to LED2 (red) and LED4 (blue) from the SoC.
