Low-power 2.4GHz design & development

Evaluate the wireless protocol of your choice using our LaunchPad development kits, any of our supported IDEs, and several code examples. Whether a seasoned developer or new to wireless connectivity, our Quick Start Guides serves as a road map for users developing using our platform.

Across our device portfolio, we offer a variety of wireless protocols such as Bluetooth® Low Energy, Zigbee®, Thread, and Matter. The SimpleLink™ Low Power SDKs provide a comprehensive package of drivers for the development of 2.4GHz applications. Each wireless protocol has a dedicated software stack optimized for low-power consumption while the device peripheral drivers remain the same.

Our portfolio helps you develop in a familiar operating system you are using. Whether it is bare metal, TI-RTOS, FreeRTOS™ or Zephyr®, you can choose the one that meets your team's and application needs.

TuyaOS is a platform-agnostic IoT operating system built on top of the RTOS. As opposed to using the API’s provided by the TI SimpleLink SDK or Zephyr RTOS, your software can be written using the TuyaOS libraries and abstraction layers. In doing so, your device will be interoperable with TuyaOS smart home devices from other companies, allow it to be controlled from the Tuya mobile app, and connect to the cloud.

Our SDKs can be used with a variety of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to develop and debug your application. These IDEs can be accompanied by other configuration and debug tools to accelerate development.

Code Composer Studio is based on the Theia IDE open source software framework

SmartRF Studio is designed to aid RF engineers easily evaluate the radio at an early stage of the development process. It simplifies generation of the configuration register values and commands as well as practical testing and debugging.

EnergyTrace is an energy-based code analysis tool that measure and displays the energy profile of an application and helps optimize it for ultra-low-power consumption.

For Bluetooth® Low Energy testing, the TI Simplelink SDK provides BTool. Like SmartRF Studio, Btool can be used to test RF performance but by flashing specific firmware onto the board, the device can then be controlled by sending HCI commands over UART. Additionally, developers can leverage the SimpleLink Connect Mobile App.

Choose a single-chip solution that integrates the processor, peripherals, and radio to enable smaller, more modular designs. Within device families there are a variety of pin-to-pin compatible options that offer simple hardware migration paths. Additionally, these device families have scalable memory variants that use the same SDK’s, making it possible for you to reuse your software across different products.

For applications such as gateways, access points, bridges and network hubs, depending on software, compatibility or processing needs, it is common to need a device more powerful than the majority of microcontrollers (MCUs). In most cases, these devices will not have a built-in radio for wireless communication. Rather than writing software for both your main processor and a wireless MCU, you can send commands as a host to control the wireless MCU. This simplifies your software logic and prevents the need for different development environments.

Enable a faster time to market by integrating external components into a single module and utilizing our wireless certification. Internalizing the surrounding passives simplifies your manufacturing supply chain and design effort. Each module is certified with key regulatory bodies around the world, eliminating the need for expensive RF equipment, engineering and investment.

AT Commands are a universal instruction set for controlling RF modules. Regardless of manufacturer, AT commands allow developers to send and receive device and network parameters. This further simplifies the design process when using RF modules, eliminating the need to write software for the wireless SoC, allowing all software to sit on the host device.
