TICC1200
Overview
The CC1200 is a high-performance, single-chip sub-GHz radio transceiver designed for low-power wireless applications in the 164-190 MHz, 410-475 MHz, and 820-950 MHz frequency bands. It features a 16-bit ultra-low-power processor and hardware accelerators for AES128 encryption, FEC, and WaveMatch technology to improve sensitivity. With a maximum data rate of 1.25 Mbps and -123 dBm sensitivity, it is optimized for long-range communication and robust link performance.
Why Choose This Part
The CC1200 offers class-leading sensitivity and high output power up to 16 dBm, enabling long-range links without external amplifiers. It minimizes system power consumption with a 0.5 uA sleep current and a dedicated RX Sniff Mode for low-duty-cycle operation. Hardware-level features like Auto-Acknowledge, CCA, and Antenna Diversity support simplify the development of complex RF protocols.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers should evaluate the part using the CC1200DK Development Kit, which includes evaluation modules and a motherboard for range testing. Configuration is typically performed using Texas Instruments SmartRF Studio, which generates optimized register settings for various modulation schemes like 2-GFSK or 4-FSK. The device interfaces with a host MCU via a standard 4-wire SPI port and four programmable GPIO pins for interrupt-driven operation.
