1 TI Low Power RF Hardware and Software Tools

2 Abstract This presentation will give an overview of the hardware and software tools available for the TI Low Power RF ICs. We will briefly get into what is possible to do with the development kit and how to use them to get the most out of the TI Low Power RF ICs.

3 Tools Hardware and Software that enables customers to use and understand TI LPRF ICs Development Kits Reference Designs Software Examples Software Stacks PC Tools TI LPRF has what the customers need in order to get started and succeed with LPRF ICs.

4 Development Kit Overview

5 Development Kits The typical development kit contains 2x RF EMs 2x SmartRF Boards 2x Antennas Div cables Div documentation

6 Evaluation Module Kit The evaluation module kit contains two RF EMs and antennas. We have EMs for all of our radios The reference design (schematics, gerbers and bill of material) for all of the EMs are available on the web.
