With the development of IoT technology, wireless applications continue to grow. More and more end products embed with the wireless modules, such as BLE, Wi-Fi, ZigBee and Thread. And some ICs can support multiple protocols.
The CC2652P from Texas Instruments, which is a multi-protocol 2.4 GHz wireless MCU with an integrated power amplifier. It has a dynamic multiprotocol manager (DMM) driver that supports BLE 5.2 (backward compatible), ZigBee 3.0, Thread, and other protocols. In BLE applications, it supports Bluetooth Mesh, compatible with 2M PHY High-Speed mode and Long Range mode of BLE5.0, and also supports AoA Direction finding of BLE5.1. In ZigBee applications, various functions can be developed, including ZigBee coordinator, ZigBee network processor, Sleepy end device, Border router. The built-in integrated power amplifier allows the transmit power up to +20 dBm, which is suitable for a wider range of environments and a smoother application.
RF-star technology is a well-known and reputable wireless RF solution provider and low-power RF core device supplier in the industry. It is also a third-party partner of TI. Based on the CC2652P Soc, 4 popular modules have been launched: RF-BM-2652P1, RF-BM-2652P2, RF-BM-2652P2I and RF-BM-2652P3. The different designs of those modules can meet the needs of customers in different products and applications. Some customers are using those CC2652P modules in smart home, smart building, gas alarm and fire alarm applications.
