Texas Instruments CC2620 SimpleLink ZigBEE RF4CE Wireless MCUs

Texas Instruments CC2620 SimpleLink™ ZigBEE RF4CE Wireless Microcontrollers are a wireless MCU targeting ZigBee RF4CE applications. The device is a member of the CC26xx family of cost-effective, ultra-low power, 2.4GHz RF devices. Very low active RF and MCU current, and low-power mode current consumption provides excellent battery lifetime and allows operation on small coin cell batteries and in energy-harvesting applications.

The CC2620 device contains a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor that runs at 48MHz as the main processor and a rich peripheral feature set that includes a unique ultra-low power sensor controller. This sensor controller is ideal for interfacing external sensors and for collecting analog and digital data autonomously while the rest of the system is in sleep mode. This makes the CC2620 device ideal for ZigBee RF4CE remote controls with features like voice, motion, RF-IR hybrid remotes, and qwerty keyboards and STB/target nodes with capacitive touch.

The IEEE 802.15.4 MAC is embedded into ROM and runs partly on an ARM Cortex®-M0 processor. This architecture improves overall system performance and power consumption and frees up flash memory for the application.
