Product overview Block diagram
The A2530E24AZ1 is a high-performance, FCC & IC certified
and ETSI-compliant ZigBee /IEEE 802.15.4 RF SOC module
that incorporates the Texas Instruments CC2530 transceiver
chip and CC2591 range extender in the industrys smallest
package (11 x 19 x 2.5 mm). The module incorporates a
crystal, the required RF matching and filtering for regulatory
compliance, plus filtering on select digital lines for better noise
reduction and sensitivity. The modules operate in the global
unlicensed 2.4GHz ISM/SRD frequency band. These radio
modules are ideal for achieving low power wireless
connectivity without having to deal with extensive Protocol, RF
design and regulatory compliance, allowing quick time to
market. The modules are 100% tested to provide consistent
Layout information

is packaged in 27-piece matrix trays or on 500-piece tape &
reel for high-volume automated manufacturing.
