I know that it is already old chip, however because of equipment and budget issue I don’t have much choice. I am using it to make a wireless headphone, I plan to wire the SPI interface, that is, PDATA, PCLK, PALE to the PIC which I plan to use to write registers. and DIO, DCLK to the ADC which I convert the signal into digital data, BUT have the chip select (CS) pin of the ADC control by PIC. The ADC I plan to use is AD7827. I’m afraid that the timing would not be coherent, but it would be too slow if I use the PIC to do ADC instead.
I used the 1000 series on a remote control project. I spent weeks trying to perfect it.I was very unhappy with their range and performance. There are much better cheap chips out there, you may want to revisit the choice.

I know it’s not a very good chip, however as I’m doing a FYP project and this is the first time I design my PCB. I would like to avoid too much risk in designing HF part, 2.4GHz chip like cc2500 or nordic one would offer me great performance but are too risky to use, since I can only hand solder them. That’s why I choose cc1000 because it offer TSSOP package. Do your guys know any other good transceiver offering package that are easy to solder with? I want to avoid QFN. and still the question : could I separate the SPI interface to MCU but DCLK and DI/O to ADC/DAC? thanks very much for your help.
