Wireless Connectivity Guide Texas Instruments 4Q 2014
The CC2541 is a power-optimized
true system-on-chip (SoC) solution
for both low energy and proprietary
2.4-GHz applications. It enables robust
network nodes to be built with low
total bill-of-material costs. The CC2541
combines the excellent performance
of a leading RF transceiver with an
industry-standard enhanced 8051 MCU,
in-system programmable Flash memory,
8-KB RAM, and many other powerful
supporting features and peripherals.
The CC2541 is highly suited for systems
where ultra-low power consumption is
required. This is specified by various
operating modes. Short transition times
between operating modes further enable
low power consumption.
The CC2541 is pin-compatible with the
CC2540 in the 6-mm × 6-mm QFN-40
package, if the USB is not used on the
CC2540 and the I2C/extra I/O is not
used on the CC2541.
