CC2564MODA: What is the difference between CC2564MODA and CC2564B

Part Number: CC2564MODA


Hi all,

I'm trying to understand the basic difference between CC2564MODA and CC2564B. The CC2564MODA product is described as a module, however from my experience a module would require only "AT command" level coding, whereas CC2564MODA  requires an external fw stack to operate it, so if this is the case I don't understand what is the practical difference between the SOC version, is the only difference on the hardware level support?

  • Hello Udi,

    The CC2564B is a chip. You can use several evaluation boards in order to evaluate it.

    Once you decide to go to MP you will have to design your own board (following our guidelines) match an antenna, etc....

    The CC2564MODA is a module with antenna which comes to help you get to the market faster and reduce the design effort.

    At the end of the day the CC2564MODA has the CC2564B on board with peripherals (antenna, etc...).

    From a SW POV there is no difference you will need a host running a Bluetooth stack on top of it in order to operate either one.

    If you can share some more details about your product we can help you find the best fit for your needs.

  • Hi Chen,

    Thank you very much for the reply. My design is at a very preliminary stage- so there are no additional inputs at this point, however since you mentioned that the SOC (and module) would need a Bluetooth stack host to operate it- than I don't understand what the difference is from the "bluetooth ICs" that are available (such as CSR8510), or is it essentially the same thing?
