CC1312R: Welcome CC1312R and CC1352R to the SimpleLink Wireless MCU Family!

Part Number: CC1312R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1352R, , , LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1, ENERGYTRACE, CC1350, CC1310

TI is pleased to announce pre-production availability of the CC1312R and CC1352R wireless microcontrollers (MCUs). Customers can order a compatible LaunchPad development kit, download the CC13x2 SDK and begin development of their wireless application for these next-generation wireless MCUs.

 The CC13x2R family of wireless MCUs contain a 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M4F processor running at 48 MHz as the main application processor, 352 kB of in-system programmable flash memory, 256kB of device ROM, 80 kB of low-leakage SRAM, a full complement of peripherals such as ADC, I2C, SPI and UART, advanced cryptography accelerators (ECC, AES256, SHA256, etc.) as well as a Sensor Controller Engine (SCE). The SCE is a 2nd programmable processor core ideal for ultra- low- power sensor acquisition and data processing applications. The SCE runs independently from the main Cortex-M4F and handles sensor polling using just a few micro amps of average current. A dedicated Radio Controller (ARM Cortex-M0) handles low-level RF and physical layer (PHY) protocol commands that are stored in ROM or RAM, thus ensuring ultra-low power and great flexibility. A comprehensive list of capabilities can be found in the device data sheet and Technical Reference Manual.

The following CC1312R and CC1352R wireless MCUs, SDKs & LaunchPad™ development kits (*) are supported:

Development Kit

SDK

Technologies

CC1312R LaunchPad (LAUNCHXL-CC1312R1)

SIMPLELINK-CC13X2-SDK

Sub 1-GHz

(*)Please note that these LaunchPads are for early evaluation only and are built with pre-RTM silicon. Software compatibility after newer or updated silicon is released is not guaranteed. At this time, the development kit must be replaced with the new revision. A discount for the new revision of the LaunchPad will be available to customers who purchased the early evaluation version.

 

Additional highlights

 

  • SIMPLELINK-CC13X2 software development kits with sample applications and drivers 
  • SimpleLink Academy
  • Full development support with TI’s free Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) v7 and IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM IDEs

 

How is the pre-release silicon different from the final production silicon?

All device features, including memory sizes, supported peripherals and device pin out on current pre-production silicon version PG1.1 will remain the same on production silicon. This will allow a seamless migration for applications developed with the pre-release silicon that are deploying on production silicon. In addition to any improvements identified during normal silicon validation, the device ROM will be updated with the latest firmware for the RF core

 Do the CC1312R and CC1352R devices consume more power as compared to CC13x0?

One notable improvement is the total standby current consumption remains at just over 1uA with the full 80kB of SRAM retained. The CC1312R and CC1352R1 have standby current consumption equivalent to CC13x0 devices despite the 4x increase in SRAM. For low duty cycle applications powered from coin cell batteries, this can, for example, make the difference of several years of additional battery life.

Are CC1312R and CC1352R pin compatible with CC1310 and CC1350?

CC1312 is pin to pin compatible with CC1310 in the 7x7 QFN package size.  Please note that a 48 MHz high-speed oscillator is used for CC1312R.

CC1352 has separate RF interface for sub 1-GHz and 2.4 GHz and is therefore not pin to pin compatible with CC1350.
