Texas Instruments – Cost-effective low-power true wireless MCU for low-energy applications (CC2540T)

 Texas Instruments introduced the CC2540T, which can build a powerful BLE master or slave node at a very low total bill of materials cost, which is a new type of low-power true wireless MCU for low-energy applications. The CC2540T is capable of operating at temperatures up to 125C, combining a high-performance RF transceiver with an industry-standard enhanced 8051 MCU, in-system programmable flash memory, 8 KB RAM, and many other powerful support functions and peripherals. CC2540T is suitable for systems requiring very low power consumption. Provides very low power sleep mode. The short transition time between operating modes further reduces power consumption. The company said that the CC2540TF256 combined with Texas Instruments' low-energy protocol stacks constitutes the most flexible and cost-effective single-mode low-energy solution on the market.
