Only a few external components are required for the SimpleLink™ ZigBee® Network Range Extender Reference Design[3]. A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 8. Note that the application circuit figure does not show the complete schematic or layout of the CC2530 - CC2592EM. The board layout will greatly influence the RF performance of the CC2530 - CC2592EM.
When using the CC2530 - CC2592EM at high power levels, an RF shield is required to be complaint with FCC harmonic emission regulations. TI provides a compact CC2530 - CC2592EM reference design incorporating shielding footprints that is highly recommended. The layout, stack-up, and schematic for the CC2592 should be copied as closely as possible to obtain optimum performance. The reference design also includes a bill of materials with manufacturer part numbers.
