TI Connect Podcast

The SimpleLink™ CC2652RB is the first crystal-less wireless MCU (SoC) on the market, providing simplified design options for connectivity by decreasing the overall footprint for factory and building automation and grid infrastructure.

• By integrating a TI BAW resonator within the QFN package, there is no need for an external highspeed 48-MHz crystal. The device is a self-contained wireless MCU with integrated reference clocking resonators.

• The CC2652RB device works in the full 40c to +85c temp range, which is unlike many crystal solutions currently on the market

SimpleLink multi-band CC1352P wireless MCU with integrated power amplifier is Zigbee 3.0 compliant, integrated +20dBmPA, industry’s lowest power and multi-band support for Sub-1 GHz, Bluetooth 5, Zigbee and Thread. www.ti.com/product/cc1352p

The SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz stack solution is built on TI’s SimpleLink MCU platform, and offers a complete solution for connecting long-range, low power sensors in the home, building, and city. The SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz stack offers a standards-based, star-network that makes Sub-1 GHz connectivity easy by providing all of the necessary components for a robust system. Benefits of the network solution include:

• Sub-1 GHz ISM bands provide RF advantages such as long range, wall penetration, and low power

• Future proof deployments with scalable network features

• Provide a standards based network solution with robust performance

• Lower development cost by providing an end-to-end solution

Join Nick and Adrian for a tour of the SimpleLink Platform, made by developers for developers with special considerations for IoT connected applications. It consists of 3 parts:

1. Hardware: wireless MCUs for Bluetooth, Zigbee, Thread, Wi-Fi, Sub-1 GHz and more.

2. Software: Common SDK that all SimpleLink hardware is developed, enabling 100% code portability between devices.

3. Development Tools: Cloud tools, SimpleLink Academy on-demand training, TI LaunchPad™ ecosystem.

The new Bluetooth 5 standard brings 3 new key features including:

1. Long range mode: Get 4x the range and extend into full home/building coverage

2. High speed mode: 2x data throughout and faster over-the-air downloads

3. Advertising extensions: Reduce load on advertising channels and inititate long-range connections

These new features enable new applications like industrial automation (i.e. Smart Home, Smart Building) and automotive, using your smartphone as a key. TI's SimpleLink™ Bluetooth low energy CC2640R2F is the smallest SoC in the market with a 2.7mm x 2.7mm footprint.

The Zigbee protocol is a multi-hop (mesh) network perfectly suited for home, building and smart grid applications. It’s a low-power solution, able to last multiple years in a battery application and also ideal for large networks with 100+ nodes. With the latest 3.0 release, the SimpleLink SDK can also support green energy for energy harvesting applications! www.ti.com/zigbee
