Texas Instruments SimpleLink™ CC335xMOD Energy Companion Modules

Texas Instruments SimpleLink™ CC335xMOD Energy Companion Modules are certified modules designed to simplify hardware design and reduce time-to-market. These modules are available in two different versions.

• CC3350MOD: A 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi^® 6 companion module
• CC3351MOD: A 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 and BLUETOOTH^® Low Energy 5.4 companion module

The Texas Instruments CC335xMOD supports current Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy standards while maintaining compatibility with Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 4 (802.11 a/b/g/n). These CC335xMOD devices are based on the 10th-generation connectivity combo chip from Texas Instruments. As such, the CC335xMOD is based on proven technology. These modules are an excellent choice for cost-sensitive embedded applications that use an RTOS or a Linux host running TCP/IP. CC335xMOD brings the efficiency of Wi-Fi 6 to embedded device applications for the Internet of Things (IoT).
