Information in the following Applications section is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI's customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
For general design guidelines and hardware configuration guidelines, refer to CC13xx/CC26xx Hardware Configuration and PCB Design Considerations Application Report.
For optimum RF performance, especially when using the high-power PA, it is important to accurately follow the reference design with respect to component values and layout. Failure to do so may lead to reduced RF performance due to balun mismatch. The amplitude and phase balance through the balun must be <1 dB and <6 degrees, respectively.
PCB stack-up is also critical for proper operation. The CC1354P10 EVMs and characterization boards are using a finished thickness between the top layer (RF signals) and layer 2 (ground plane) of 175 µm. It is very important to use the same substrate thickness, or slightly thicker, in an end product implementing the CC1354P10 device.
Integrated balun devices can be used both at sub-1 GHz frequencies and at 2.4 GHz. The following baluns are recommended for CC1354P10 high-power PA output:
