The maximum transmission power of CC2510F8RSP is +3 dBm.
To configure the CC2510F8RSP for optimal power consumption, use the lowest possible transmission power, disable unnecessary peripherals, and use the power-down mode when not transmitting or receiving.
Yes, the CC2510F8RSP can be used with an external antenna. However, the antenna must be matched to the chip's 50-ohm impedance and meet the FCC and ETSI regulations for RF emissions.
Frequency hopping can be implemented using the CC2510F8RSP's built-in frequency synthesizer and the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer. The device can hop between 16 channels in the 2.4 GHz band.
The CC2510F8RSP supports a maximum data rate of 250 kbps.
