CC3235MODSF LaunchPad™ Development Kit (LAUNCHCC3235MOD)

Start your design with the industry's first programmable FCC, IC/ISED, ETSI/CE, MIC, and SRRC (1)Certified SimpleLinkTM Wi-Fi® CC3235MOD Dual-Band Wireless Microcontroller Module with built-in Dual-Band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) Wi-Fi® connectivity. Created for the Internet-of-Things (IoT), the SimpleLink™ CC3235MODx and CC3235MODAx family of devices from Texas Instruments are wireless modules that integrate two physically separated, on-chip MCUs:

  • An application processor – Arm®Cortex®-M4 MCU with a user-dedicated 256KB of RAM and an optional 1MB of serial flash.
  • A network processor MCU to run all Wi-Fi and Internet logic layers. This ROM based subsystem includes an 802.11 a/b/g/n radio, baseband, and MAC with a powerful crypto engine for fast, secure internet connections with 256-bit encryption.

The CC3235MODx and CC3235MODAx have four total variants:

  • CC3235MODSM2MOB
    • Requires an external antenna
  • CC3235MODSF12MOB
    • Requires an external antenna
    • Contains 1MB of serial flash
  • CC3235MODASM2MON
    • Contains an integral antenna
  • CC3235MODASF12MON
    • Contains an integral antenna
    • Contains 1MB of serial flash

The LAUNCHCC3235MOD is a low-cost evaluation platform for MCUs based on Arm® Cortex®-M4 devices. The LaunchPad™ design highlights the CC3235MODSF fully-integrated industrial module solution and Dual-Band Wi-Fi capabilities. The LAUNCHCC3235MOD also features temperature and accelerometer sensors, programmable user buttons, an RGB LED for custom applications, and onboard emulation for debugging. The stackable headers interface demonstrates how easy it is to expand the functionality of the LaunchPad when interfacing with other peripherals on existing BoosterPack™ add-on boards, such as graphical displays, audio codec, antenna selection, environmental sensing, and more.

Figure 1-1 shows the CC3235MODSF LaunchPad development kit.
