Texas Instruments recently demonstrated an RF system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates an IEEE 802.15.4 (2,4 GHz) radio, an ARM Cortex-M3 processor, dedicated Smart Energy (SE) 2.0 hardware security acceleration, and enough Flash and RAM to run the ZigBee IP stack and SE2.0 profile. A true single-chip solution, the CC2538 removes the need for an additional microprocessor and will enable simplified, cost-effective development of SE2.0 compliant Smart Grid and remote sensor connectivity applications such as electricity, gas or water smart meters and in-home displays. The chip will support TI’s Z-Stack ZigBee protocol stack, which features full SE1.1 functionality.
