Mouser Electronics Inc. is now stocking the SimpleLink Ultra-Low Power Wireless Microcontrollers (MCUs) from Texas Instruments (TI). These wireless MCUs target Bluetooth Smart, ZigBee, and other 2.4 GHz RF applications. The SimpleLink Wireless MCU platform is very low power with low active RF and run current requirements and provide excellent battery life when used with small coin-cell batteries or in energy harvesting applications.
The TI CC26xx SimpleLink Ultra-Low Power Wireless Microcontrollers are available in three product models. The CC2650 has a 48MHz ARM Cortex-M3 core paired with a 2.4GHz RF transceiver compatible with Bluetooth Smart, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, and other IEEE 802.15.4 protocols. The CC2640 also has a 48MHz ARM Cortex-M3 with a Bluetooth Smart radio for systems targeting compliance with ETSI EN 300 328 (Europe), EN 300 440 Class 2 (Europe), FCC CFR47 Part 15 (US), and ARIB STD-T66 (Japan). The CC2630 has a 48MHz ARM Cortex-M3 and has a 2.4GHz RF transceiver with an IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC for ZigBee and 6LoWPAN.
Each of the three wireless products boast a rich feature set of timers and peripherals. A dedicated ARM Cortex-M0 on each core manages the radio sections from code embedded in unchangeable ROM. The platform is code and pin-compatible and support Bluetooth Smart, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, sub-1 GHz, RF4CE and proprietary modes up to 5 Mbps, which allows developers to leverage PC board designs across different wireless systems.
Each product is supported by ready-to-use protocol stacks for Bluetooth, TCP/IP, RTOS, and others. Several development systems are available including the Texas Instruments SimpleLink Bluetooth Smart SensorTag Kit (CC2650STK), allowing developers to quickly receive sensor-based data through their cloud-connected IoT designs.
