CC2640 SoC
CC2640 is a wireless MCU targeting Bluetooth Smart applications. The CC2640 device contains a 32-bit ARM
Cortex-M3 processor that runs at 48 MHz as the main processor and a rich peripheral feature set that includes a unique
ultralow power sensor controller. This sensor controller is ideal for interfacing external sensors and for collecting analog
and digital data autonomously while the rest of the system is in sleep mode. Thus, the CC2640 device is ideal for a wide
range of applications where long battery lifetime, small form factor, and ease of use is important.
The Bluetooth Low Energy controller is embedded into ROM and runs partly on an ARM Cortex-M0 processor.
This architecture improves overall system performance and power consumption and frees up flash memory for the
application. For more detail information on CC2640, please refer to CC2640 SimpleLink Bluetooth Smart Wireless MCU
(SWRS176A) from Texas Instruments.
