Embedded Processors for Wireless Connectivity

Embedded Processors

TI Embedded Processors – A perfect companion to our radios in wireless systems

Microcontrollers are an integral part of all wireless connectivity systems, especially in low-power wireless solutions.

From being the main applications and/or protocol processor to performing power management functions to coordinating

communications, microcontrollers play a key role both in battery operated end nodes as well as host devices such as

coordinators and routers. TI’s broad industry leading portfolio of embedded processors, from the ultra-low power MSP430™

microcontrollers to our high-performance Sitara™ portfolio and DSP products, ensures you have the choice of the right device

for any wireless connectivity application.

TI recognizes the importance of embedded software in wireless connectivity solutions. Our embedded processors are

supported by a wide variety of software stacks, including protocol and network solutions.

Finally we offer a comprehensive suite of development tools and online resources to make your wireless connectivity design

robust, easy and fast.
