The A8520E24A91 is a high-performance, FCC/IC-certified radio
module that incorporates the Texas Instruments CC8520 transceiver
chip and the CC2591in the industry’s smallest package (11 x 19 x
2mm).
The A8520E24A91 module is a surface mount module integrating a
8520 PurePath™ wireless audio transceiver with the CC2591
PA/LNA device ,for increased range, and an integral antenna. The
module incorporates a crystal, the required RF matching and filtering
for FCC/IC compliance as well as filtering on all digital lines for good
noise reduction and sensitivity. The modules operate in the global
non-licensed 2.4GHz ISM/SRD frequency band. These radio mod-
ules are ideal for achieving low power wireless connectivity without
having to deal with extensive Protocol, RF, antenna design and regu-
latory compliance, allowing quick time to market. The modules are
100% tested to provide consistent performance.
The A8520E24A91 has an RoHS-compliant ENIG finish and is pack-
aged on tape and reel for high-volume automated manufacturing.
