Texas Instruments CC1350 SimpleLink™ Dual Band Wireless MCUs

Texas Instruments CC1350 SimpleLink™ Dual Band Wireless Microcontrollers (MCUs) are cost-effective, ultra-low-power, wireless MCUs capable of handling both Sub-1GHz and 2.4GHz RF frequencies. These MCUs have very low active RF and microcontroller (MCU) current consumption. These include flexible low-power modes that provide an excellent battery life. The MCUs allow long-range operation on small coin-cell batteries and in energy-harvesting applications. The Texas Instruments CC1350 combines a flexible, very low-power RF transceiver with a powerful 48MHz Cortex-M3 microcontroller in a platform supporting multiple physical layers and RF standards. A dedicated Radio Controller (Cortex-M0) handles low-level RF protocol commands stored in ROM or RAM. This Radio Controller ensures ultra-low power and gives the flexibility to handle both Sub-1GHz protocols and 2.4GHz protocols. This flexibility enables combining a Sub-1GHz communication solution that offers the best possible RF range and a BLUETOOTH® low energy smartphone connection that allows excellent user experience through a phone application.
