Overview

The CC2642R1FRGZR is a member of the SimpleLink family, featuring an Arm Cortex-M4F processor dedicated to application code and a separate controller for the radio stack. It is designed for Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy applications, offering a high sensitivity of -105dBm and an integrated on-chip buck DC/DC converter for high power efficiency. The device includes a comprehensive hardware crypto suite including AES, ECC, and RSA accelerators to secure IoT endpoints.

Why Choose This Part

The dedicated Arm Cortex-M0 radio controller offloads timing-critical Bluetooth tasks, ensuring the 48MHz Cortex-M4F remains available for complex application logic. Engineering efficiency is improved via the 352kB Flash which supports Over-the-Air (OTA) updates and a built-in sensor controller for ultra-low-power data acquisition.

Applications

Battery-Powered IoT Sensors
Utilizes the 0.94uA standby current and integrated battery monitor for long-term remote sensing.
Secure Smart Home Locks
Leverages the ECC and RSA public key hardware accelerators to handle secure authentication without stalling the application core.
Medical Wearables
Combines the 80kB RAM and FPU for real-time biometric data processing with a compact 7x7mm VQFN footprint.
Industrial Asset Tracking
Employs the -105dBm sensitivity and +5dBm output power to maintain reliable links in RF-dense environments.
