CC3100 / CC3200 Internet-on-a-chip™ Solutions

Overview
TI makes connectivity even easier with the
next-generation SimpleLink Wi-Fi solutions.
The product family features Internet-on-a-chip
solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) space
solving industry challenges for broad embedded applications. The SimpleLink CC3100 and
CC3200 enable:
•t Easier Wi-Fi development
•t Secure and fast connection to the cloud
•t oT made possible for low-power MCU
I
­applications
•t rowing cloud ecosystem for quicker time to

market and long-term platform
With the SimpleLink Wi-Fi family no Wi-Fi
experience is required for the user who can
choose between two options, both pin-to-pin
compatible.

also be made available. In addition, designers
are given many options to ensure Internet connection in headless applications. Flexible connection methods (provisioning) include Access
Point Mode, WPS, SmartConfig™ Technology
and others. On the security side, an embedded
hardware cryptography engine allows establishing TLS secure Link in 200ms.
Interfacing to any MCU, designed with lowpower radio and advanced low-power modes,
the SimpleLink Wi-Fi family makes sensor-tothe-cloud connectivity possible. Moreover, the
solution contains several Internet protocols
in ROM including mDNS, DNS, SSL/TLS and
HTTP server. There are also several wireless
applications such as instant messaging, email
and more. The SimpleLink Wi-Fi family enables
easy implementation of Internet applications
such as service discovery, email, instant messaging, and security.

ANALOG

The CC3100 device is a Wi-Fi, self-contained
network processor with on-chip web server and
embedded TCP/IP stack that connects easily
to any low-cost and low-power microcontroller
(MCU) such as the MSP430F552, thanks to a
simple UART or SPI driver and host memory
footprint as low as 7kB of code to reside on
the MCU. Hardware design is made easy for
space-constrained boards with a small 64-pin
9×9 mm QFN package. Certified modules will

integrates a high-performance 80-MHz ARM®
Cortex®-M4 MCU and peripherals allowing
customers to develop their application with a
single device. Developers can fully access the
MCU portion with 200kB of application code
available fully independent from the Wi-Fi
processing. The peripheral set includes parallel
camera, I2S ­ udio, SDMMC, ADC, SPI, UART,
a

I C, PWM, I/Os, built-in power management
and RTC enabling many MCU embedded applications to connect to the cloud.

Software and Support
Both CC3100 and CC3200 devices are supported by a software development kit (SDK)
including software drivers, sample applications, API guide, user documentation and a
world-class support E2E™ community. On the
integrated Cortex-M4, all sample applications
in the SDK are supported with Code Composer
Studio™ Integrated Development Environment
and no RTOS. In addition, a few of the applications support IAR, GCC, Free RTOS, TI-RTOS.
