Texas Instruments announced two new devices in its scalable SimpleLink Bluetooth low energy wireless microcontroller (MCU) family. The new devices continue to feature advanced integration including a complete single-chip hardware and unified software solution with an ARM Cortex-M3 based MCU, automatic power management, highly flexible radio and a low-power sensor controller.
For Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the CC2640R2F offers more available memory for richer, more responsive and high-performance applications. The device comes in a tiny 2,7 x 2,7 mm chip-scale package (WCSP) option that is less than half the size of TI’s smallest 4 x 4 mm QFN package. The CC2640R2F is ready for the Bluetooth 5 core specification which offers longer range, higher speed and more data for enhanced connection-less applications in building automation, medical, commercial and industrial automation.
The CC2640R2F-Q1 wireless MCU enables smartphone connectivity for car access including passive entry passive start (PEPS) and remote keyless entry (RKE), as well as emerging automotive use cases with AEC-Q100 qualification and Grade 2 temperature rating. Additionally, the device is the industry’s first solution to be offered in a wettable flank QFN package which helps reduce production line cost and increases reliability enabled by optical inspection of solder points.
The CC264x family is supported by a unified software and application development environment, royalty-free Bluetooth low energy software, Code Composer Studio integrated development environment (IDE), system software and interactive training materials.
