Bangalore: Advancing its single-chip radio-frequency (RF) solutions, Texas Instruments (TI) announced the availability of its CC430F513x microcontrollers (MCUs). According to the company, the new MCUs combine the ultra-low power MSP430 with the high performance, sub-1GHz CC1101 RF transceiver.
According to TI, the CC430F513x devices offer up to 20 MIPS performance in a small package (7mm x 7mm) and support security options such as an integrated AES hardware module. TI is also expanding its LCD product offering with the CC430F61xx series of devices, providing developers with more options to meet varying design needs. Developers can also immediately start CC430 MCU-based designs with the EM430F6137RF900 and eZ430-Chronos wireless development tools that include all the hardware design information required to develop a complete wireless project.
TI is also working closely with third party developers to bring various industry accepted software stacks to customers. Production quantities of the CC430F513x MCUs are immediately available to order starting at $4.15 (1,000 units). Sampling in May, the CC430F61xx family with integrated LCD is also immediately available to order and pricing starts at $4.35 (1,000 units).
