Bringing personal and industrial wireless networking to the mass market
The CC430 technology platform – offering the industry's lowest power, single-chip radio-frequency (RF) family for microcontroller (MCU)-based applications. By making RF design easy, small, performance-rich and power-efficient, the CC430 platform helps advance RF networking applications including industrial/building automation, asset tracking, energy harvesting, industrial monitoring and tamper detection, personal wireless networks, alarm and security systems, sports/body monitoring and automatic metering infrastructure (AMI).

The CC430F61xx and CC430F513x families leverage TI’s industry leading RF expertise and ultra-low-power MSP430™ microcontroller to offer a powerful sub-1GHz RF protocol/applications processor. Supported by the well-known and easy to use MSP430 tool kit, as well as RF design tools such as SmartRF® Studio, the CC430 allows fast and efficient design-ins.

The MSP430 product family is an ideal protocol/applications microcontroller for various low power wireless applications. See www.ti.com/430wireless for more details on MSP430 use for your low power wireless application.
Key features and benefits
  • Enable smarter, low-power RF applications with more flexibility via the latest MSP430 MCU and leading low-power RF IC
  • Smaller products, easier manufacturing and lower systems cost through leading technology integration
  • Making RF design easy and driving fast time to-market via comprehensive tools and ecosystem available for our customers – including ETSI/FCC compliant reference designs and online support forums/infrastructure.

The CC430 ecosystem
RF / Wireless networking is emerging as a key driver in several applications. While wireless applications are easy and convenient for the end user, the successful adoption of any wireless system is dependent on the robustness, interoperability and ease of use of the product. This in turn depends on the hardware and software infrastructure. More so than wired communication applications, the presence of varied RF protocols (some still emerging, in standards bodies) across the spectrum of applications and regulatory oversight over some of the RF bands around the world increases the importance of a proven ecosystem.

Texas Instruments has partnered with several industrial leaders in the hardware and software fields to bring a compelling suite of options for our customers to enable various applications.
