1.1 Overview

The SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi™ CC33xx family of devices is where potential cost savings meet reliability, enabling engineers to connect more applications with confidence. CC33xx devices are available in a single-chip, or pre-certified module, integrating both Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.4. The following devices are also pin-to-pin compatible within the relevant packaging family (for example, IC to IC or module to module):
