RFFM6204EM357 Reference Design The RFFM6204EM357 reference design builds upon the partnership between Qorvo and Silicon Figure 1. Top and Bottom view of RFFM6204EM357 Reference Design Labs by presenting a complete 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4-2006 compliant wireless solution based upon Silicon Labs EM35xx SOC and Qorvo’s Top View RFFM6204 FEM. Silicon Labs presents a fully integrated system-on-chip (SoC) with a 32-bit ARM® CortexTM-M3 microprocessor with flash memory, and RAM memory, delivering unmatched performance and EmberZNet PRO network protocol stack to designers of ZigBee-based systems. Qorvo presents the RFFM6204 world class front end module (FEM) for efficient extended output power at +14 dBm with harmonic filtering, a low noise amplifier (LNA), a bidirectional through mode path and a single balanced TDD access. This document briefly describes the RFFM6204EM357 reference design and how it is set up and configured for Engineering Evaluation of the RFFM6204 FEM using Silicon Labs nodetest application firmware, pre-flashed on the EM35xx SoC.

The RF section is coplanar with ground (CPW) and the microstrip line target impedance is 50 Ω +/-5%. The target frequency is 2.5GHz and the dielectric constant is 4.26. The vias are thru-hole from layers 1 – 4. The stiching vias around the transmission line and antenna are nececssary to prevent RF leakage and to improve isolation. The dimensions are 1634.858 x 851mils. It is highly recommended to follow the reference design layout and PCB material and stack up for optimum performance. Please see the RFFM6204 (4) and EM35x data sheets for the Stencil, Metal Land pattern and solder paste recommendations. Figure 2. RFFM6204 Ground Slug Via hole dimensions Figure 3.

Power is provided using a USB supply, external supply, or external battery pack. RF communications is made either over-the-air via the ceramic chip antenna (AT1) or J2 the coaxial connector and switch (Murata P/N MM8130-2600RA2). A 2-megabit DataFlash® is provided for external serial-interface Flash memory EEPROM. A 10-pin Insight port is provided for JTAG debugging. Figure 7.

If you do not have the proper FTDI drivers installed, please go to www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm and install the drivers for your operating system. These drivers are needed to establish communication. Note that these drivers may have to be installed twice to ensure proper operation. After connection is established with that port, set field values as follows: After choosing the appropriate COM port the bits per second field should be 115,200; the data bits field should be 8; the parity field should be none and the stop bits should be 1 with flow control set to Hardware. Pressing "Enter" will then establish a response from the EM35xx SoC and configuration of the RFFM6204 FEM can now occur. TOKEN_MFG_PHY_CONFIG Programming. Before custom firmware is downloaded onto the EM35xx be sure to update the CIB token “TOKEN MFG PHY CONFIG” from 0xFFFF to 0xFFFB. 1. Connect the SiLabs ISA3 box to a PC via USB. 2. Connect the InSightPort on the ISA3 box to the Insight Port on the RFFM6204EM357 board via the ribbon. 3. Connect the RFFM6204EM357 board to the EM35xx Breakout Board and set the Target Power switch on the ISA3 to INT. Figure 8.
