FCC Certification Considerations

CC1312PSIP FCC Module Certification

In order to re-use the FCC RF Module certification of CC1312PSIP on Sub 1GHz channels, an application using TI 15.4 stack (in Frequency Hopping mode) or TI Wi-SUN FAN stack needs to limit the transmit power to the following values. If you set the transmit power to more than the values stated in the following tables, you need to re-certify the product and will likely pass only with duty cycling.

Additional Condition

TI 15.4 Stack

19 dBm

If you only use channels between 908.2-927MHz

TI 15.4 Stack

16 dBm

If you include any channel between 902.2-908MHz

Additional Condition

TI Wi-SUN FAN Stack

19 dBm

If you duty cycle with 60ms out of 100ms in TX

TI Wi-SUN FAN Stack

17 dBm

Without duty cycling

If you are using other certified PHYs, you will find the limits in the following tables.

If you are using the 14 dBm port, the following table provides the maximum TX power that you can set during transmission in order to re-use the FCC RF Module certification of CC1312PSIP on Sub 1GHz channels. It is not necessary to use duty cycling or modify channel plans in this case.
