2.4-GHz ZigBee network processor with
integrated ZigBee PRO software stack
Texas Instruments has introduced a 2.4-GHz ZigBee network
processor with integrated ZigBee PRO software stack. The
new CC2530ZNP is designed to add ZigBee feature in any design
without learning the complexities of a full ZigBee stack.
The CC2530ZNP uses the existing host processor to run application
code while the CC2530ZNP supports the networking component
of the system. Target applications include home and building
automation, industrial monitoring and control, sensor networks
and telehealth.
The other key features of CC2530 ZigBee network processor
inlcude:
Supports TI's Z-Stack software and SimpleAPI, which has
only 10 calls to learn.
Communicates to host processor via an SPI or UART command
interface.
Selectivity and good coexistence with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
devices.
Compatible devices from TI include the CC2590 and CC2591
2.4-GHz analog front ends (range extenders), MSP430 ultra-low-power
microcontrollers and Stellaris ARM processors.
