Texas Instruments' (TI) CC1310 SimpleLink ultra low-power wireless
microcontrollers are now stocked by Mouser. The cost-effective sub-1GHz RF
device combines a flexible, very low-power RF transceiver with a powerful
48MHz Cortex-M3 microcontroller in a platform supporting multiple physical
layers and RF standards.
A dedicated radio controller (Cortex-M0) handles low-level RF protocol
commands that are stored in ROM or RAM, thus ensuring ultra low-power and
flexibility. The low-power consumption of the CC1310 device does not come at
the expense of RF performance; the CC1310 device has excellent sensitivity
and robustness (selectivity and blocking) performance. The very low active
RF, MCU current, and low-power mode current consumption provide a long
battery lifetime and allow operation on small coin-cell batteries and in
energy-harvesting applications.
