TI Launches Internet-on-Chip™ Wi-Fi Module to Make Wi-Fi Development Easier

Published2015.02.25 10:44

TI Korea (CEO Kent Chon, www.ti.com/kr) February 24, 2015 – TI (CEO Kent Chon) announced the release of SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® CC3100 and CC3200 modules suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The new SimpleLink product family, announced earlier this year, serves as a low-power platform that facilitates connectivity for IoT solutions. By utilizing certified Internet-on-a-chip™ modules, developers can leverage additional design flexibility and easily integrate embedded Wi-Fi and Internet connectivity into various types of home, industrial, and consumer electronics. This enables developers to reduce development costs, accelerate time-to-market, and streamline procurement and certification processes.

In addition, these modules provide a complete antenna reference design, helping to make integration work easier. (For more information about this platform, please refer to www.ti.com/simplelinkwifi)

TI's SimpleLink Wi-Fi platform offers developers advantages in various aspects, as follows:

● These module products have obtained Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ and FCC/IC/CE/TELEC certifications, simplifying the finished product certification process to shorten time-to-market and ensure interoperability.

● With the CC3100 solution, applications can be programmed using any microcontroller (MCU), and with the CC3200, customers can execute their own code on the chip by utilizing the internally integrated user-dedicated programmable ARM® Cortex®-M4 MCU.

● Low-power wireless functionality and an enhanced low-power mode enable the industry's lowest power consumption battery-powered device, allowing it to operate for more than a year on two AA batteries.

● It enables rapid connectivity and supports the cloud, and by integrating Wi-Fi, the Internet, and robust security protocols on-chip, IoT application development is simplified, eliminating the need for Wi-Fi development experience for product connectivity.

● SmartConfig™ technology, WPS, AIt provides multiple provisioning options, including P mode, allowing you to easily and securely connect your device as a Wi-Fi access point (AP) using mobile phone or tablet apps and web browsers.

SimpleLink Wi-Fi support

TI offers modular versions of the CC3100 Booster Pack and CC3200 LaunchPad, along with chip-based kits released earlier this year, to enable rapid commencement of Wi-Fi development work.

In addition, developers can utilize a comprehensive support platform through the CC3100 and CC3200 wikis. These wikis provide detailed explanations on how to get started with design, hardware design information, software examples and detailed information, and help regarding testing and certification, as well as offering community support resources. In addition, relevant forums in the TI E2E™ community provide technical support for these solutions.

In addition, the SimpleLink Wi-Fi product family provides cloud connectivity support through TI's IoT cloud ecosystem members.

Price and Supply Timing

● The SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 module (CC3200MOD) and CC3100 module (CC3100MOD) are sold at the TI store, and TI's sample programs are applied:

‒ The CC3200 module can be purchased for $19.99 per unit in quantities of 1,000.

‒ The CC3100 module can be purchased for $14.99 per unit in quantities of 1,000.

● Along with this, the CC3200 Module Launch Pad (CC3200MODLAUNCHXL) and CC3100 Module Booster Pack (CC3100MODBOOST) are provided:

‒ The CC3200 module launchpad can be purchased for $59.99.

‒ The CC3100 module booster pack can be purchased for $49.99.iv>

● More details regarding the CC3100/CC3200 devices and kits based on these devices can be found here.
