TEXAS Instruments has announced the new SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz CC1310 wireless microcontrollers (MCUs) which offer up to 2 decades of battery life.
The CC1310 wireless MCUs offer the lowest power consumption balanced with high RF performance, with applications for building and factory automation, alarm and security, smart grid and wireless sensor network applications.
Designed for ultra-low power, long-range applications, the CC1310 wireless MCUs feature:
- extended battery life with an ultra-low power radio
- integrated ARM Cortex-M3 MCU
- sensor controller
- low-power modes
- 0.6 µA sleep current
The MCUs provide longer range: spanning full buildings to city-wide coverage over 20km on a coin cell battery, thanks to its great sensitivity – all on a fingertip-sized package.
TI also offers software options to simplify development with the SimpleLink CC1310 wireless MCUs. The software available today 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 developer’s code size with 32kB, 64kB, or 128kB Flash.
