The Sensor Controller is a small programmable CPU core that is highly optimized for low power consumption and efficient peripheral operation. It can perform simple background tasks autonomously and allow the System CPU and MCU to remain in sleep mode. This allows for power optimization based on events such as wake on temperature, wake on touch, and beyond. It is fully configurable by the developer who can write and download code through the free online sensor controller studio.

Join Dan Torres, product marketing engineer from our automotive connectivity team, as he discusses the different ways wireless connectivity is being used in the car. Learn how our CC2640R2F-Q1 and new CC2642R-Q1 devices are optimized for low-power wireless communications in applications such as car access, car sharing, piloted parking, head units, cable replacement, smartphone connectivity and more. https://www.ti.com/product/CC2642R-Q1

MIOTY technology is the new LPWAN standard for massive IoT deployment. Join Edvard Pettersen, applications engineer from our TI Oslo office, as he explains the new standard and how TI has been involved in the creation of the MIOTY Alliance. www.ti.com/mioty

To help simplify configuration challenges and accelerate software development, we created SysConfig, an intuitive and comprehensive collection of graphical utilities for configuring pins, peripherals, radios, subsystems and other components. The SysConfig tool is integrated in Code Composer Studio (CCS), as a standalone installer, or can be used via the dev.ti.com cloud tools portal.

The SimpleLink™ CC2652RB is the first crystal-less wireless MCU (SoC) on the market, providing simplified design options for connectivity by decreasing the overall footprint for factory and building automation and grid infrastructure. • By integrating a TI BAW resonator within the QFN package, there is no need for an external highspeed 48-MHz crystal. The device is a self-contained wireless MCU with integrated reference clocking resonators. • The CC2652RB device works in the full 40c to +85c temp range, which is unlike many crystal solutions currently on the market

SimpleLink multi-band CC1352P wireless MCU with integrated power amplifier is Zigbee 3.0 compliant, integrated +20dBmPA, industry’s lowest power and multi-band support for Sub-1 GHz, Bluetooth 5, Zigbee and Thread.

The SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz stack solution is built on TI’s SimpleLink MCU platform, and offers a complete solution for connecting long-range, low power sensors in the home, building, and city. The SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz stack offers a standards-based, star-network that makes Sub-1 GHz connectivity easy by providing all of the necessary components for a robust system. Benefits of the network solution include: • Sub-1 GHz ISM bands provide RF advantages such as long range, wall penetration, and low power • Future proof deployments with scalable network features • Provide a standards based network solution with robust performance • Lower development cost by providing an end-to-end solution
