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-ofmaterial

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.

The CC2430 is highly suited for systems where

ultra low power consumption is required. This

is ensured by various operating modes. Short

transition times between operating modes

further ensure low power consumption.

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

o Wide supply voltage range (2.0V - 3.6V)

• Microcontroller

o High performance and low power 8051

microcontroller core
