Cost-effective family of ultra low-power 2.4GHz and sub-1GHz RF devices

Available now from Farnell element14, the Texas Instruments (TI) SimpleLink CC1310 wireless MCU contains an ARM Cortex-M3 (CM3) 32-bit CPU, providing a high performance, low-cost platform for minimal memory implementation and low-power consumption, while delivering outstanding computational performance and exceptional system response to interrupts. A highly-flexible RF core interfaces the analog RF and base-band circuits, handles data to and from the system side and assembles the information in a given packet structure. The core also autonomously handles a range of time-critical radio protocols and offers a high-level, command-based API to the main CPU. Sensor controller contains selectively enabled peripherals including a low-power clocked comparator, capacitive sensing functionality and 120bit, 220 ksamples/s ADC with eight inputs and built-in voltage reference, plus analog modules that can be connected to up to eight different GPIOs.
