Introduction
CMT2110A/2210A One-Way RF Link Development Kits (Development Kits) are a set of the hardware and software tools designed to help the users to easily evaluate the performance and demonstrate the features of products CMT2110A and CMT2210A. These two devices are part of the CMOSTEK Microelectronics Co., Ltd.
TM
(CMOSTEK) NextGenRF CMT2110A is an ultra low-cost, highly flexible, high performance, single-chip OOK transmitter for various 240 to 480 MHz wireless applications. The CMT2210A is an ultra low-cost, highly flexible, high performance, single-chip OOK receiver for various 300 to 480 MHz wireless applications. These two devices are optimized for the low system cost, low power consumption, battery-powered one-way RF link application with their highly integrated and low power design.
The Development Kits c ontain the components of two evaluation boards named RF-EB, a Tx evaluation module named CMT2110A-EM, an Rx evaluation module named CMT2210A-EM, a USB Programmer and a PC application named RFPDK (RF Products Development Kit). The package of the Development Kits is shown in Figure 1.

2. Application Schemes
The Development Kits can be used in 2 different application schemes.

Evaluation Scheme:

Configuration Scheme:

2.1 Evaluation Scheme
The necessary components of the evaluation scheme are:
Two RF-EBs  CMT2110A-EM  CMT2210A-EM
Main product features can be evaluated and demonstrated in this scheme. Follow the step-by-step instructions to start working in the Evaluation Scheme.
1. Turn off the RF-EB power switch (SW1, see Figure 6 in Page 10). It is always good practice to plug in or out the evaluation modules after the RF-EB is powered off.
2. Switch the Power Mode Jumper (J7, see Figure 6 in Page 10) to the USB or BAT side to select the available power supply source.
3. Plug the evaluation modules into both RF-EBs respectively. Please note that there are 2 sets of evaluation modules and antennas, the user should pair them properly according to their frequency labeled on them.
4. Turn on the power switch (SW1) of the RF-EB. The LED indicator for the power supply indication will be light up to show to “ON” status of the RF-EB.
5. Start to configure the evaluation modules according to the instructions displayed on the LCD and then evaluate the main features/performance.
2.2 Configuration Scheme
The necessary components of the configuration scheme are:
RFPDK  USB Programmer  CMT2110A-EM or CMT2210-EM
This scheme allows the user to freely customize all product features and program them into the chips. Once the programming is done successfully, the evaluation module is ready to be integrated into the user’s own application systems. Moreover, the users can program chip configurations to their self-designed CMT2110A/2210A modules as long as the programming interface is reserved.
Main product features can be configured and evaluated/demonstrated in this scheme. All product features of can be configured in this scheme.
