TI Introduces 2.4 GHz ZigBee Wireless Network Processor
Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) introduced the first product from the company’s new Z-Accel family of 2.4 GHz ZigBee-certified network processors. The CC2480 provides engineers complete ZigBee functionality without them having to learn the complexities of a full ZigBee stack, making it easy to integrate ZigBee into a wide variety of applications, such as home and building automation and industrial monitoring and control, with minimal development effort. The device also allows customers the flexibility to work with any host microcontroller (MCU).
“The CC2480 ZigBee processor drastically simplifies the design of a new low-power wireless product, or the addition of wireless into an existing product, by allowing customers to separate the application code from the networking component of their systems,” said Art George, Senior Vice President of TI’s High-Performance Analog business unit. “TI continues to deliver innovative products, software, and support so that customers can design advanced low-power wireless systems with shorter development times and lower production costs.”
