Dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0 controller
now with integrated audio capabilities

Overview
The TI SimpleLink CC256x device is a complete Bluetooth®
BR/EDR/LE HCI or Bluetooth + Bluetooth Low Energy
solution that reduces design effort and enables fast time
to market.
A royalty-free software Bluetooth stack available from
TI is pre-integrated with TI’s MSP430™ and ARM®
Cortex®-M4 MCUs. The stack is also available for MFi
solutions and on other MCUs through Stonestreet One
(www.stonestreetone.com). Profiles supported today
include: serial port profile (SPP), human interface device
(HID), A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP
(Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) and several BLE
profiles (profiles can vary based on the supported MCU).
In addition to software, reference designs are available
with a low BOM cost. For example, TI’s Audio Sink solution uses the Bluetooth® device for audio processing, an
MSP430™, audio DAC and USB charger. For more information, visit TI Designs.
