Classification of MCU of Texas Instruments

Systematically sort out the mainstream MCU series of TI Company in recent years.

According to the information given on TI's official website, TI's MCU can be roughly divided into the following three series:

SimpleLink MCU

Ultra low power MSP430 MCU

C2000 real-time control MCU

This is only a brief introduction to SimpleLink MCU.

SimpleLink MCU can be roughly divided into two categories:

Wireless microcontroller, supporting multiple wireless communication protocols

High performance microcontroller, MSP432 series microcontroller based on ARM Cortex-M4F

Wireless microcontroller

For the convenience of description, it is divided into the following categories:

Class I: CC1310, CC1312R, CC1311

Class II: CC1350, CC1352P, CC1352R

Category III: CC2640R2F, CC2640R2F-Q1

Category IV: CC2642R, CC2652R

Class V: CC3200MOD, CC3220MOD

Class I: CC1310, CC1312R, CC1311

common ground:

Supports Bluetooth 4 and Bluetooth 5 protocols.

difference:

Compared with CC2640R2F, CC2640R2F-Q1 conforms to automobile standards.

Category IV CC2642R, CC2652R

common ground:

Both have two cores. One is ARM Cortex-M4F, whose clock is 48MHz; The other is ARM Cortex-M0, which is used for wireless controller and can process low-level RF protocol commands stored in ROM or RAM.

difference:

CC2642R only supports Bluetooth 4 and Bluetooth 5 protocols.

CC2652R supports multiple protocols, including Zigbee ®、 Low power Bluetooth ® 5. IEEE 802.15.4g, intelligent object supporting IPv6 (6LoWPAN), etc.
