SWRA465A August 2014 – July 2015 CC2530 , CC2530 , CC2530-RF4CE , CC2530-RF4CE , CC2592 , CC2592
The RF output power of the CC2530 - CC2592EM is controlled by the 8-bit value in the CC2530 TXPOWER register. Table 6 shows the typical output power and current consumption for the recommended power settings. The results are given for TC = 25°C, VDD = 3.0 V and f = 2440 MHz, and are measured on the SimpleLink™ ZigBee® Network Range Extender Reference Design[3] with a 50 Ω load. For recommendations on the remaining CC2530 registers, see Section 8.
| TXPOWER | Power [dBm] | Current [mA] |
|---|---|---|
| 0xF5 | 21.1 | 172.3 |
| 0xE5 | 20.4 | 155.7 |
| 0xD5 | 19.7 | 143.1 |
| 0xC5 | 18.9 | 133.8 |
| 0xB5 | 18.2 | 124.8 |
| 0xA5 | 17.2 | 115.2 |
| 0x95 | 15.7 | 102.7 |
| 0x85 | 14.8 | 95 |
| 0x75 | 13.4 | 87.5 |
| 0x65 | 11.8 | 82.3 |
| 0x55 | 9.9 | 77.9 |
| 0x45 | 7.7 | 75.1 |
| 0x35 | 5.4 | 73.6 |
Note that the recommended power settings given in Table 6 are a subset of all the possible TXPOWER register settings. Using settings other than those recommended might result in sub-optimal performance in areas like current consumption, EVM, and spurious emission.
