Texas Instruments CC2650MODA SimpleLink™ Wireless MCU Module

Texas Instruments CC2650MODA SimpleLink™ Wireless Microcontroller (MCU) Module targets BLUETOOTH® low energy applications. The CC2650MODA device can also run ZigBee® and 6LoWPAN, and ZigBee RF4CE remote control applications. The module is based on the SimpleLink CC2650 wireless MCU, a member of the CC26xx family of cost-effective, ultra-low-power, 2.4GHz RF devices. Very low active RF, MCU current, and low-power mode current consumption provide excellent battery lifetime and allow for operation on small coin-cell batteries and in energy-harvesting applications.

The CC2650MODA module 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 good for interfacing with external sensors or for collecting analog and digital data autonomously while the rest of the system is in sleep mode. Thus, the CC2650MODA device is good for applications within a wide range of products including industrial, consumer electronics, and medical devices.
