N530AS CC1310 AT Command Wireless Module
Product Overview
Optimized Entry Point: Wireless Simplicity, Cost-Effective Capability.
The N530AS is a versatile and cost-optimized Sub-1GHz wireless communication module built around the widely adopted Texas Instruments CC1310 wireless microcontroller. Designed to accelerate IoT product development for budget-sensitive applications, it operates across key global ISM bands (433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 915 MHz) and is controlled via a simple AT command set over a UART interface. This approach abstracts the complexity of the underlying RF protocol, allowing developers to implement robust wireless connectivity without deep expertise in RF or embedded programming. Coupled with its low power consumption and compact size, the N530AS is an ideal foundational solution for smart home, metering, and a wide range of medium-range IoT applications where cost is a primary driver.
Key Features & Benefits
Simplified Development with AT Commands: Implement wireless functionality quickly by sending plain-text AT commands via UART, drastically reducing firmware development time and complexity.
Multi-Band Global Flexibility: A single hardware design supports deployment in major worldwide Sub-1GHz frequency bands, simplifying logistics for global products.
Optimized for Cost & Power: Leverages the proven, cost-effective CC1310's efficient architecture for extended battery life, presented in a highly optimized module form factor ideal for high-volume, price-sensitive applications.
Foundation for Customization: All CC1310 I/O pins are broken out, providing flexibility for custom peripheral integration. The module serves as a perfect starting point, with a clear migration path to more powerful siblings in the lineup.
Compact and Ready for Production: The small 24.8 x 18.6 mm SMD package is designed for easy integration and compatibility with automated assembly processes.
