ZigBee Processor Simplifies Low-power Wireless Product Design

( 1 Jul 2008 )

Texas Instruments Inc.'s CC2480 2.4GHz ZigBee-certified network processor provides engineers complete ZigBee functionality without having to learn the complexities of a full ZigBee stack, making it easy to integrate ZigBee into a wide variety of applications, such as home and building automation and industrial monitoring and control, with minimal development effort.

The CC2480 ZigBee processor simplifies the design of a new low-power wireless product, or the addition of wireless into an existing product, by allowing customers to separate the application code from the networking component of their systems. The CC2480 communicates with any MCU via an SPI or UART interface. The device supports SimpleAPI, which has only 10 API calls to learn, and features excellent radio performance, low power consumption and an automatic low-power mode in idle periods.
