Texas Instruments announced availability of the newest device in the SimpleLink ultra-low power platform, designed to help customers easily add ultra-low power, long-range connectivity to their Internet of Things (IoT) designs.

The new SimpleLink sub-1 GHz CC1310 wireless microcontrollers (MCUs) offer up to 20 years of battery life for building and factory automation, alarm and security, smart grid and wireless sensor network applications.

The devices help to extend battery life with their ultra-low power radio, integrated ARM Cortex-M3 MCU, sensor controller, low-power modes and 0,6 μA sleep current, as well as a ULPBench score of 158. Featuring high sensitivity and strong coexistence, their range of application spans full buildings to city-wide coverage for over 20 km on a coin cell battery.

TI has simplified development by providing software options to fit a developer’s needs. Software available includes point-to-point communication examples with EasyLink and a wM-Bus protocol stack leveraging TI RTOS, as well as a Contiki 6LoWPAN mesh networking stack. Developers will also have access to development tools, reference designs, online training and E2E community support to help ease their design process. Additionally, TI offers scalable memory to fit developers’ code size with 32 KB, 64 KB or 128 KB Flash.

Initially available in the SimpleLink sub-1 GHz CC1310 family are models for 868 MHz, 915 MHz and 920 MHz ISM bands. Further rollouts will see these joined by 315 MHz, 433 MHz, 470 MHz and 500 MHz versions in 4x4, 5x5 and 7x7 mm QFN packages.
