Chipcon SmartRF ® CC2400 CC2400 Errata Note 001, rev. 1.0 When using the CC2400 in buffered mode at data rates below 250 kbps, the last bit in a packet will not be sent. A software fix solves the problem. Description and reason for the problem When the CC2400 is used in buffered mode with an over-the-air data rate lower than 250 kbps, the PA is shut off before the last bit is sent. This will cause problems when automatic CRC checking is used, as well as if the last byte in a packet contains data. Suggested workarounds Alternative 1: If the protocol used does not use automatic CRC generation/checking, a “dummy” byte should be written as the last byte in a packet. This will ensure that no data is lost. Alternative 2: If automatic CRC generation/checking is used, automatic CRC generation should be turned off during transmit and a dummy byte should be written as the last byte in a packet. If the microcontroller software inserts a CITT CRC-16 checksum behind the data in a packet, then automatic CRC checking can be used in receive mode. Otherwise, CRC generation and detection should be done in entirely in software. Fix This problem is solved by a software workaround. Batches affected This errata note applies to all chip batches and revisions of the chip.
