CC2651R3: Suggested parts for audio and low rate data transmission

Hi Doug,

Thank you for reaching out.

Assuming you want to transmit audio data using Bluetooth LE, I recommend to look at the CC2642R, CC2651R3 and CC2340R5. All these devices are capable of transmitting audio data over Bluetooth LE however, they have different capabilities when it comes to audio sampling and compression.

- If aggressive audio compression (e.g. Opus) is required, then CC2642R is recommended

- If audio sampling through I2S is required, then I would recommend leveraging CC2642R or CC2651R3

- If the device is used to transmit already compressed audio, then CC2340R5 should be considered

In order to evaluate CC2642R or CC2651R3, I would recommend to leverage the LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1 and the following audio examples https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AFfZCYCdhZoqa2UTNzEQxg__com.ti.SIMPLELINK_AUDIO_PLUGIN__RW99gST__LATEST

In order toevaluate CC2340R5, I wuold recommend to leverage the LP-EM-CC2340R5, the UART over BLE example and  these labs.

I hope this will help,

Best regards,

Thanks !
