Product Description

The CC2430 comes in three different flash versions: CC2430F32/64/128, with 32/64/128 KB of flash memory respectively. The CC2430 is a true System-on-Chip (SoC) solution specifically tailored for IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee® applications. It enables ZigBee® nodes to be built with very low total bill-of-material costs. The CC2430 combines the excellent performance of the leading CC2420 RF transceiver with an industry-standard enhanced 8051 MCU, 32/64/128 KB flash memory, 8 KB RAM and many other powerful features. Combined with the industry leading ZigBee® protocol stack (Z-Stack™) from Texas Instruments, the CC2430 provides the market’s most competitive ZigBee® solution.

Key Features

• RF/Layout

o 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver (industry leading CC2420 radio core)

o Excellent receiver sensitivity and robustness to interferers

o Very few external components

o Only a single crystal needed for mesh network systems

o RoHS compliant 7x7mm QLP48 package

• Low Power

o Low current consumption (RX: 27 mA, TX: 27 mA, microcontroller running at 32 MHz)

o Only 0.5 µA current consumption in powerdown mode, where external interrupts or the RTC can wake up the system

o 0.3 µA current consumption in stand-by mode, where external interrupts can wake up the system

o Very fast transition times from low-power modes to active mode enables ultra low average power consumption in low dutycycle systems
