CC2530F128RHAR

The Texas Instruments CC2530F128RHAR is an integrated wireless microcontroller designed for 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.15.4 systems, including Zigbee and RF4CE applications. It boasts a powerful and low-power 8051 microcontroller core with code prefetch, coupled with 256KB of in-system-programmable Flash memory and 8KB of RAM with retention in all power modes.

The device integrates a highly capable RF transceiver with excellent receiver sensitivity and robustness to interference. It supports programmable output power up to 4.5 dBm and requires very few external components, often needing only a single crystal for asynchronous networks. The CC2530F128RHAR operates within a wide supply voltage range of 2V to 3.6V and features low power consumption in various modes, including active RX at 24 mA and active TX at 29 mA (at 1 dBm).

Key peripherals include a five-channel DMA, an integrated op-amp and comparator, multiple timers, an IR generation circuitry, a 32-kHz sleep timer, CSMA/CA hardware support, and an AES security coprocessor. It also includes a 12-bit ADC with eight channels and two powerful USARTs. The microcontroller is housed in a compact 6mm x 6mm QFN40 package, suitable for systems targeting compliance with worldwide radio-frequency regulations.

Applications for the CC2530F128RHAR include home and building automation, lighting systems, industrial control and monitoring, low-power wireless sensor networks, and consumer electronics. Development tools such as the CC2530 Development Kit and SmartRF software are available to aid in system design.
