Health Care
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.
DESCRIPTION
The CC2531 is a USB enabled true system-on-chip (SoC) solution for IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee and RF4CE
applications. It enables USB dongles or USB upgradable network nodes to be built with low total bill-of-material
costs. The CC2531 combines the performance of a leading RF transceiver with an industry-standard enhanced
8051 MCU, in-system programmable flash memory, 8-KB RAM, and many other powerful features. The CC2531
has various operating modes, making it suited for systems where ultralow power consumption is required. Short
transition times between operating modes further ensure low energy consumption. Source code for USB HID and
CDC libraries and examples are downloadable from the CC2531 product page on www.ti.com.
Combined with the industry-leading and golden-unit-status ZigBee protocol stack ( Z-Stack™) from Texas
Instruments, the CC2531 provides a robust and complete ZigBee USB dongle or firmware upgradable network
node.
Combined with the golden-unit-status RemoTI™ stack from Texas Instruments, the CC2531 provides a robust
ZigBee RF4CE remote-control target for USB dongle or TV/STB implementations.

Texas Instruments CC2530 EM reference design is suitable for systems targeting compliance with EN 300 328, EN 300 440, FCC
CFR47 Part 15, and ARIB STD-T-66.
Margins for passing conducted requirements at the third harmonic can be improved by using a simple band-pass filter connected
between matching network and RF connector (1.8 pF in parallel with 1.6 nH); this filter must be connected to a good RF ground.
Margins for passing FCC requirements at 2483.5 MHz and above when transmitting at 2480 MHz can be improved by using a lower
output-power setting or having less than 100% duty cycle.

SWRS086A – SEPTEMBER 2009 – REVISED JUNE 2010
For more details about the modules and their usage, see the corresponding chapters in the CC253x User's
Guide (SWRU191).
CPU and Memory
The 8051 CPU core used in the CC253x device family is a single-cycle 8051-compatible core. It has three
different memory-access buses (SFR, DATA, and CODE/XDATA) with single-cycle access to SFR, DATA, and
the main SRAM. It also includes a debug interface and an 18-input extended interrupt unit.
The interrupt controller services a total of 18 interrupt sources, divided into six interrupt groups, each of which
is associated with one of four interrupt priorities. Any interrupt service request is serviced also when the device is
in idle mode by going back to active mode. Some interrupts can also wake up the device from sleep mode
(power modes 1–3).
The memory arbiter is at the heart of the system, as it connects the CPU and DMA controller with the physical
memories and all peripherals through the SFR bus. The memory arbiter has four memory access points, access
of which can map to one of three physical memories: an 8-KB SRAM, flash memory, and XREG/SFR registers. It
is responsible for performing arbitration and sequencing between simultaneous memory accesses to the same
physical memory.
The 8-KB SRAM maps to the DATA memory space and to parts of the XDATA memory spaces. The 8-KB
SRAM is an ultralow-power SRAM that retains its contents even when the digital part is powered off (power
modes 2 and 3). This is an important feature for low-power applications.
The 256 KB flash block provides in-circuit programmable non-volatile program memory for the device, and
maps into the CODE and XDATA memory spaces. In addition to holding program code and constants, the
non-volatile memory allows the application to save data that must be preserved such that it is available after
restarting the device. Using this feature one can, e.g., use saved network-specific data to avoid the need for a full
start-up and network find-and-join process.
Clocks and Power Management
The digital core and peripherals are powered by a 1.8-V low-dropout voltage regulator. It provides power
management functionality that enables low-power operation for long battery life using different power modes.
Five different reset sources exist to reset the device.
Peripherals
The CC2531 includes many different peripherals that allow the application designer to develop advanced
applications.
The debug interface implements a proprietary two-wire serial interface that is used for in-circuit debugging.
Through this debug interface, it is possible to perform an erasure of the entire flash memory, control which
oscillators are enabled, stop and start execution of the user program, execute supplied instructions on the 8051
core, set code breakpoints, and single-step through instructions in the code. Using these techniques, it is
possible to perform in-circuit debugging and external flash programming elegantly.
The device contains flash memory for storage of program code. The flash memory is programmable from the
user software and through the debug interface. The flash controller handles writing and erasing the embedded
flash memory. The flash controller allows page-wise erasure and 4-bytewise programming.
The I/O controller is responsible for all general-purpose I/O pins. The CPU can configure whether peripheral
modules control certain pins or whether they are under software control, and if so, whether each pin is configured
as an input or output and if a pullup or pulldown resistor in the pad is connected. CPU interrupts can be enabled
on each pin individually. Each peripheral that connects to the I/O pins can choose between two different I/O pin
locations to ensure flexibility in various applications.
A versatile five-channel DMA controller is available in the system, accesses memory using the XDATA memory
space, and thus has access to all physical memories. Each channel (trigger, priority, transfer mode, addressing
mode, source and destination pointers, and transfer count) is configured with DMA descriptors anywhere in
memory. Many of the hardware peripherals (AES core, flash controller, USARTs, timers, ADC interface) achieve
highly efficient operation by using the DMA controller for data transfers between SFR or XREG addresses and
flash/SRAM.

Timer 1 is a 16-bit timer with timer/counter/PWM functionality. It has a programmable prescaler, a 16-bit period
value, and five individually programmable counter/capture channels, each with a 16-bit compare value. Each of
the counter/capture channels can be used as a PWM output or to capture the timing of edges on input signals. It
can also be configured in IR Generation Mode, where it counts Timer 3 periods and the output is ANDed with
the output of Timer 3 to generate modulated consumer IR signals with minimal CPU interaction.
Timer 2 (the MAC Timer) is specially designed for supporting an IEEE 802.15.4 MAC or other time-slotted
protocol in software. The timer has a configurable timer period and a 24-bit overflow counter that can be used to
keep track of the number of periods that have transpired. A 40-bit capture register is also used to record the
exact time at which a start-of-frame delimiter is received/transmitted or the exact time at which transmission
ends, as well as two 16-bit output compare registers and two 24-bit overflow compare registers that can send
various command strobes (start RX, start TX, etc.) at specific times to the radio modules.
Timer 3 and Timer 4 are 8-bit timers with timer/counter/PWM functionality. They have a programmable
prescaler, an 8-bit period value, and one programmable counter channel with an 8-bit compare value. Each of
the counter channels can be used as a PWM output.
The sleep timer is an ultralow-power timer that counts 32-kHz crystal oscillator or 32-kHz RC oscillator periods.
The sleep timer runs continuously in all operating modes except power mode 3 (PM3). Typical applications of
this timer are as a real-time counter or as a wake-up timer to come out of power mode 1 (PM1) or 2 (PM2).
The ADC supports 7 to 12 bits of resolution in a 30-kHz to 4-kHz bandwidth, respectively. DC and audio
conversions with up to eight input channels (Port 0) are possible. The inputs can be selected as single-ended or
differential. The reference voltage can be internal, AVDD, or a single-ended or differential external signal. The
ADC also has a temperature-sensor input channel. The ADC can automate the process of periodic sampling or
conversion over a sequence of channels.
The random-number generator uses a 16-bit LFSR to generate pseudorandom numbers, which can be read by
the CPU or used directly by the command strobe processor. It can be seeded with random data from noise in the
radio ADC.
The AES encryption/decryption core allows the user to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES algorithm with
128-bit keys. The core is able to support the AES operations required by IEEE 802.15.4 MAC security, the
ZigBee network layer, and the application layer.
A built-in watchdog timer allows the CC2531 to reset itself in case the firmware hangs. When enabled by
software, the watchdog timer must be cleared periodically; otherwise, it resets the device when it times out. It can
alternatively be configured for use as a general 32-kHz timer.
USART 0 and USART 1 are each configurable as either a SPI master/slave or a UART. They provide double
buffering on both RX and TX and hardware flow control, and are thus well suited to high-throughput full-duplex
applications. Each has its own high-precision baud-rate generator, thus leaving the ordinary timers free for other
uses.
The USB device operates at full-speed, 12-Mbps transfer rate. The controller has 5 bidirectional endpoints in
addition to control endpoint 0. The endpoints support bulk, interrupt, and isochronous operation for
implementation of a wide range of applications. The 1024 bytes of dedicated, flexible FIFO memory combined
with DMA access ensures that a minimum of CPU involvement is needed for USB communication.
Radio
The CC2531 features an IEEE 802.15.4-compliant radio transceiver. The RF core controls the analog radio
modules. In addition, it provides an interface between the MCU and the radio which makes it possible to issue
commands, read status, and automate and sequence radio events. The radio also includes a packet-filtering and
address-recognition module.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Few external components are required for the operation of the CC2531. A typical application circuit is shown in
Figure 18. For a complete USB-certified reference design, see the CC2531 product page on www.ti.com. Typical
values and description of external components are shown in Table 2. The USB_P and USB_N pins need series
resistors R21 and R31 for impedance matching, and the D+ line must have a pullup resistor, R32. The series
resistors should match the 90 Ω ±15% characteristic impedance of the USB bus. Notice that the pullup resistor
and DVDD_USB must be connected to a voltage source between 3 V and 3.6 V (typically 3.3 V). The voltage
source should be derived from or controlled by the VBUS power supply provided by the USB cable. In this way,
the pullup resistor does not provide current to the D+ line when VBUS is removed. The pullup resistor may be
connected directly between VBUS and the D+ line. As an alternative, if the CC2531 firmware needs the ability to
disconnect from the USB bus, a GPIO on the CC2531 can be used to control the pullup resistor.

Input/Output Matching
When using an unbalanced antenna such as a monopole, a balun should be used to optimize performance. The
balun can be implemented using low-cost discrete inductors and capacitors. The recommended balun shown
consists of C262, L261, C252, and L252.
If a balanced antenna such as a folded dipole is used, the balun can be omitted.
Crystal
An external 32-MHz crystal, XTAL1, with two loading capacitors (C221 and C231) is used for the 32-MHz crystal
oscillator. See the 32-MHz Crystal Oscillator section for details. The load capacitance seen by the 32-MHz
crystal is given by:

XTAL2 is an optional 32.768-kHz crystal, with two loading capacitors (C321 and C331) used for the 32.768-kHz
crystal oscillator. The 32.768-kHz crystal oscillator is used in applications where both low sleep-current
consumption and accurate wake-up times are needed. The load capacitance seen by the 32.768-kHz crystal is
given by:

A series resistor may be used to comply with the ESR requirement.
On-Chip 1.8-V Voltage-Regulator Decoupling
The 1.8-V on-chip voltage regulator supplies the 1.8-V digital logic. This regulator requires a decoupling capacitor
(C401) for stable operation.

Power-Supply Decoupling and Filtering
Proper power-supply decoupling must be used for optimum performance. The placement and size of the
decoupling capacitors and the power supply filtering are important to achieve the best performance in an
application. TI provides a recommended compact reference design for the user to follow.
