Description
VT-CC1110PA-470M is based on RF Transceiver CC1110 of TI Chipcon ，it ’ s a small size and ultra low power
UHF wireless module. CC1110 is a low cost true single chip UHF transmitter designed for very low power
wireless applications. The circuit is mainly intended for the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and SRD
(Short Range Device) frequency bands at 315, 433, 868 and 915 MHz , The max RF output power can be set as
high as +10dBm, with data rate as high as 500Kbps. The module integrated PA to make the maximum output
power up to +20dBm. The integrated EEPROM on the module can be used to store important data. Customer can
use it conveniently and reducing your development time.

CC1110 ’ s pin P0.6 and P0.7 are used as power amplifier switch control. The right voltage level is:
RX mode: RE=0 （Low ） ； TE=1 （High ）
TX mode: RE=1 （High ） ； TE=0 （Low ）
Except the TX mode you have to set the PA control voltage at TX mode, the PA control pins should be set at RX
mode to get a low power consumption.

Can ’ t
communication
1．The power supply connect not well, check the module VCC whether it is out of maximum
rating.
2．The signal line connect not well, check the module SPI interface.
3．The settings of the transmitter module and receiver module are not the same. Check these
modules ’ register configuration.
4．Signal block. If the transmitter work with a high TX power, and the receiver was put at a short
distance(<0.5m), maybe there is a signal block to make no communication.
Communication
distance is too
short
1．The application environment is too bad or the antenna is shield. Put the antenna to a better place
outside or higher throw a coaxial line , replace it with a higher gain antenna.
2．The work space contains a same frequency interference source, or a strong magnetic field
interference, power source disturbance. Try to change the carrier frequency or get far away from
the source of the disturbance.
3. The PA control voltage is not correct, check whether if it is TE=0, RE=1 in transmit mode; and
TE=1, RE=0 in receive mode.
4．The power supply is not strong. Check the voltage and the current whether it is enough.
High data error
1．The power supply ripple is too big, Change the power supply.
2．Check the module register configuration, it is recommended to set as the CC1110-datasheet.
3．There is a carrier frequency interference, change the channel.
4．The antenna unmatched to the module RF interface, change another matched antenna.
