Product details

2.4 GHz radio front-end — no baseband baggage

The Texas Instruments CC2500RGP is a 2.4 GHz TxRx Only transceiver — a pure radio front-end without an integrated baseband controller or MCU. It handles the RF modulation and demodulation (2FSK, GFSK, MSK, OOK) up to 500 kBaud, and talks to a host processor over SPI. This architecture keeps the radio power budget lean but means you supply the protocol stack and timing in an external MCU.

Sensitivity and link budget for the BOM

The -104 dBm sensitivity sets the noise floor for the link budget at 2.4 GHz.

Industrial temperature range — deployment scope

At 21.5 mA max transmit current the junction stays well within limits at 85°C ambient with a proper ground plane.

Lifecycle status — active, no LTB watch

The CC2500RGP is listed as Active. For a BOM planner that means no urgency to stockpile or qualify a drop-in replacement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum output power of CC2500RGP?

The maximum RF output power is 1 dBm. For higher power, an external power amplifier is needed.
