3.1 Layout Reference Design

It is recommended to follow the provided reference design and guidelines as close as possible in order to achieve the capabilities of the CC33xx listed in the data sheet as well as to pass certification. These layout guidelines are especially important in the engine area, which includes the sensitive RF components and traces.

The following designs incorporate the layout guidelines given throughout this document. Refer to these as reference sources:

The figures below include the engine area of CC33xx on the top layer (layer 1) and ground layer (layer 2) for all three designs.

Before proceeding with any hardware build involving the CC33xx, it is recommended to submit the design for review. Note that the engine area as shown in the reference design can be rotated as necessary according to the design requirements.
