Texas Instruments (TI) CC2640 is a member of the CC26xx series of low-cost, ultra-low power 2.4GHz RF devices. The extremely low active RF and MCU currents and current consumption in low-power modes extend battery life and allow operation in small coin cell batteries and energy harvesting applications.
CC2640 contains a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor running at 48MHz as the main processor and a rich set of peripheral functions, including a unique ultra-low power sensor controller, ideal for interfacing with external sensors and / or automatic Collect analog and digital data while the rest of the system is in sleep mode.
This makes the CC2640 ideal for applications that require extended battery life, small size, and ease of use.
The Bluetooth low energy controller is embedded in the ROM and runs partly on the ARM Cortex-M0 processor. This architecture improves overall system performance and power consumption, and frees flash memory for applications.
The company said it can get the Bluetooth Smart stack from TI for free.
