DESCRIPTION

The CC2570 and CC2571 are ANT RF network

processors that implement the easy-to-use,

power-efficient ANT protocol. The CC2570 supports

one ANT channel, whereas the CC2571 supports

eight ANT channels. The CC2570/71 can be

connected to a host MCU (such as an MSP430)

through a UART or SPI serial interface and accessed

through a set of API calls. The majority of the ANT protocol is built into the CC2570/71, including the

ANT-FS file system functionality; only the application

and profile layers must reside on the host MCU, thus

keeping host MCU memory requirements to a

minimum.

The ANT protocol has been designed to be very

power-efficient, yet is flexible enough to support

various network topologies (point-to-point, star,

connected star, 1-to-N, and N-to-1) and data transfer

modes (broadcast, acknowledged, burst data

transfer). Each logical ANT channel can be

independently configured for one-way or two-way

operation, depending on requirements of the

application.
