Texas Instruments · RF Transceiver ICs · QFN-20-EP(4x4)

CC2500RGPR from Texas Instruments, in a QFN-20-EP(4x4). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 SCLK input SPI clock input, maximum frequency 10 MHz (9 MHz for single-access mode without delay between address and data bytes).
2 SO (GDO1) tri_state SPI serial data output (default high-impedance tri-state), configurable as general-purpose output when chip select is high.
3 GDO2 output Configurable digital output for FIFO status signals, clear channel indicator, sync word detection, or downsampled crystal oscillator clock outputs.
4 DVDD power_in Digital power supply input, 1.8 to 3.6 V, requires external 100 nF decoupling capacitor.
5 DCOUPL power_out Digital core voltage regulator output, 1.6 to 2.0 V; intended for CC2500 internal decoupling only and must not be used to supply external devices.
6 GDO0 (ATEST) bidirectional Configurable digital input/output for general-purpose signals, FIFO status, serial TX data input, or on-chip analog temperature sensor output (enable with PTEST register).
7 CSn input SPI chip select input (active low); must be held low during all SPI header and data transfers.
8 XOSC_Q1 bidirectional Crystal oscillator pin 1 (26 to 27 MHz) or external reference clock input (full-swing digital or sine wave up to 1 V peak-peak).
9 AVDD power_in Analog power supply input, 1.8 to 3.6 V; all supply pins must have the same voltage.
10 XOSC_Q2 bidirectional Crystal oscillator pin 2 (26 to 27 MHz), used with loading capacitors (typically 27 pF for 10 pF crystal load capacitance).
11 AVDD power_in Analog power supply input, 1.8 to 3.6 V (duplicate pin for enhanced power distribution and lower inductance).
12 RF_P bidirectional Positive differential RF signal to LNA in receive mode, positive RF output from PA in transmit mode; differential load impedance 80 + j74 Ω.
13 RF_N bidirectional Negative differential RF signal to LNA in receive mode, negative RF output from PA in transmit mode; differential load impedance 80 + j74 Ω.
14 AVDD power_in Analog power supply input, 1.8 to 3.6 V (duplicate pin for enhanced power distribution and lower inductance).
15 AVDD power_in Analog power supply input, 1.8 to 3.6 V (duplicate pin for enhanced power distribution and lower inductance).
16 GND power_in Analog ground connection for RF and low-noise analog circuits, connected to main ground plane.
17 RBIAS bidirectional External bias resistor connection (typically 56 kΩ to ground); sets internal reference current for LNA, mixer, and other analog front-end circuits.
18 DGUARD power_in Isolated digital power supply for digital noise isolation guard ring, 1.8 to 3.6 V; must match other supply pins.
19 GND power_in Isolated digital ground for digital noise isolation guard ring, connected to main ground plane.
20 SI input SPI serial data input; carries address and data bytes for chip configuration and register access.
21 Exposed Die Attach Pad (EP) power_in Thermal ground pad and primary ground connection for the chip; must be soldered to solid ground plane using multiple vias (minimum 5×0.01 in diameter) for thermal dissipation and low impedance return path.
