CC2630 is a SimpleLink Ultra-Low Power Wireless MCU for 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.15.4-based RF Protocols

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments.

The CC2630 from Texas Instruments is a wireless MCU targeting ZigBee and 6LoWPAN applications.  

The device is a member of the CC26xx family of cost-effective, ultra-low power, 2.4-GHz 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 CC2630 contains a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor running at 48-MHz as the main processor and a rich peripheral feature set, including a unique ultra-low power sensor controller, ideal for interfacing external sensors and/or collecting analog and digital data autonomously while the rest of the system is in sleep mode. This makes the CC2630 ideal for battery-powered and energy harvesting end nodes in ZigBee / 6LoWPAN networks. 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. Applications include home and building automation, lighting control, alarm and security, electronic shelf labeling, proximity tags, wireless sensor networks, and smart grid.
