Description
CC2591 is a cost-effective and high-performance RF front end for low-power and low-voltage 2.4-GHz
wireless applications. The device is a range extender for all existing and future 2.4-GHz low-power RF
transceivers, transmitters, and System-on-Chip products from TI. CC2591 increases the link budget by
providing a power amplifier for increased output power, and an LNA with low noise figure for improved
receiver sensitivity. The device provides a small size, high output power RF design with its 4-mm × 4-mm
QFN-16 package. The device contains PA, LNA, switches, RF-matching, and balun for simple design of
high-performance wireless applications.

NOTE
The exposed die attach pad must be connected to a solid ground plane as this is the
primary ground connection for the chip. Inductance in vias to the pad should be minimized. It
is highly recommended to follow the reference layout. Changes will alter the performance.
For best performance, minimize the length of the ground vias, by using a 4-layer PCB with
ground plane as layer 2 when CC2591 is mounted onto layer 1.

Controlling the Output Power from CC2591
The output power of CC2591 is controlled by controlling the input power. The CC2591 PA is designed to
work in compression (class AB), and the best efficiency is reached when a strong input signal is applied.
5.2.1
Input Levels on Control Pins
The four digital control pins (PAEN, EN, HGM, RXTX) have built-in level-shifting functionality, meaning
that if the CC2591 is operating from a 3.6-V supply voltage, the control pins will still sense 1.6-V - 1.8-V
signals as logical ‘1’.
An example of the above would be that RXTX is connected directly to the RXTX pin on CC24xx, but the
global supply voltage is 3.6 V. The RXTX pin on CC24xx will switch between 0 V (RX) and 1.8 V(TX),
which is still a high enough voltage to control the mode of CC2591.
The input voltages should however not have logical ‘1’ level that is higher than the supply.

Device Support
Development Support
TI offers an extensive line of development tools, including tools to evaluate the performance of the
processors, generate code, develop algorithm implementations, and fully integrate and debug software
and hardware modules. The tool's support documentation is electronically available within the Code
Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The following products support development of the CC2591 device applications:
Software Development Tools: Code Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE):
including Editor C/C++/Assembly Code Generation, and Debug plus additional development tools
Scalable, Real-Time Foundation Software (DSP/BIOS™), which provides the basic run-time target
software needed to support any CC2591 device application.
Hardware Development Tools: Extended Development System (XDS™) Emulator
For a complete listing of development-support tools for the CC2591 platform, visit the Texas Instruments
website at www.ti.com. For information on pricing and availability, contact the nearest TI field sales office
or authorized distributor.
6.1.2
Device Nomenclature
To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all
microprocessors (MPUs) and support tools. Each device has one of three prefixes: X, P, or null (no prefix)
(for example, CC2591). These prefixes represent evolutionary stages of product development from
engineering prototypes (TMDX) through fully qualified production devices and tools (TMDS).
Device development evolutionary flow:
X
Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final device's electrical
specifications and may not use production assembly flow.
P
Prototype device that is not necessarily the final silicon die and may not necessarily meet
final electrical specifications.
null
Production version of the silicon die that is fully qualified.
Support tool development evolutionary flow:
X and P devices are shipped against the following disclaimer:
"Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."
Production devices have been characterized fully, and the quality and reliability of the device have been
demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.
Predictions show that prototype devices (X or P) have a greater failure rate than the standard production
devices. Texas Instruments recommends that these devices not be used in any production system
because their expected end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to be
used.
TI device nomenclature also includes a suffix with the device family name. This suffix indicates the
package type (for example, RGV) and the temperature range (for example, blank is the default
commercial temperature range). provides a legend for reading the complete device name for any CC2591
device.
For orderable part numbers of CC2591 devices in the RGV package types, see the Package Option
Addendum of this document, the TI website (www.ti.com), or contact your TI sales representative.

Electrostatic Discharge Caution
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
