Overview

The CC2541 Postage Stamp reference design contains the schematics and layout files for the CC2541PS Module. The reference design demonstrates good techniques for CC2541 decoupling and RF layout for a very compact 16.3mm x 13mm PCB . For optimum RF performance, the reference design should be copied accurately. This is a 2-layer PCB reference design using an integrated solution of a Johanson Chip balun(2450BM15A0002) and a Johanson chip antenna(2450AT42A100). The CC2541 Postage stamp is perfect for applications requiring proximity detecting and temperature sensing. It is ideal for proof of concept prototyping on existing systems.

Features
  • Affordable low cost, 2 layer board design in a compact form factor of 16.3mmX13mm
  • Onboard chip antenna (from Johanson, 2450AT42A100) with integrated balun (from Johanson, 2450BM15A002) matching circuit, with 1 SPI, 1 I2C and 1 USART interface pinout
  • Can be used for proximity sensing, temp data logging, quick prototyping and quick PoC (Proof of Concept) purposes
  • Free schematics, BOM and gerber available online for download
