View attachment 13440The RF-on-MCU trend continues to pick up momentum. TI introduced additions to the SimpleLink MCU family, supporting a wide range of popular connectivity for IoT devices. With an ARM Cortex-M3 processor core and a Cortex-M0 running the RF, family members include:
Future variants are the CC1310 for sub-GHz, and the CC2620 for RF4CE.
STMicro's lead we reported on a few days ago EEMBC ULPbench was short-lived. The CC2650 achieved a new high score of 143.6.
TI is sampling in a 7x7mm QFN, planning smaller packages soon. Pricing for the CC2640 is $3.00 in 1K, and for the CC2630 $5.10 in 1K.
