Texas Instruments CC3200MOD Internet-on-a-Chip Wireless MCU Module
Texas Instruments CC3200MOD Internet-on-a-Chip Wireless MCU Module offers programmable FCC, IC, CE, and Wi-Fi® Certified Wireless microcontroller (MCU) module with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Created for the Internet of Things (IoT), the SimpleLink™ CC3200MOD is a wireless MCU module that integrates an Arm® Cortex®-M4 MCU, allowing customers to develop an entire application with a single device. With on-chip Wi-Fi, Internet, and robust security protocols, no prior Wi-Fi experience is required for faster development. The CC3200MOD integrates all required system-level hardware components, including clocks, SPI flash, RF switch, and passives, into an LGA package for easy assembly and low-cost PCB design. The CC3200MOD is a complete platform solution, including software, sample applications, tools, user and programming guides, reference designs, and the TI E2E support community.The device includes various peripherals, including a fast parallel camera interface, I2S, SD/MMC, UART, SPI, I2C, and four-channel ADC. The CC3200 family includes flexible embedded RAM for code and data; ROM with external serial flash bootloader and peripheral drivers; and SPI flash for Wi-Fi network processor service packs, Wi-Fi certificates, and credentials. The Wi-Fi network processor subsystem features a Wi-Fi Internet-on-a-chip and contains an additional dedicated Arm MCU that completely offloads the applications MCU. This subsystem includes an 802.11 b/g/n radio, baseband, and MAC with a powerful crypto engine for fast, secure Internet connections with 256-bit encryption. The CC3200MOD supports station, access point, and Wi-Fi Direct™ modes. The device also supports WPA2 personal and enterprise security and WPS 2.0. The Wi-Fi Internet-on-a-chip includes embedded TCP/IP and TLS/SSL stacks, an HTTP server, and multiple Internet protocols. The power-management subsystem includes integrated DC-DC converters supporting various supply voltages. This subsystem enables low-power consumption modes, such as the hibernate with RTC mode requiring less than 7μA of current.
