TI makes connectivity even easier with
the next-generation SimpleLink Wi-Fi
solutions. The product family features
Internet-on-a-chip solutions to solve
industry challenges in designing a
broad array of embedded Internet of
Things (IoT) applications. The plat-
forms enable:

• Growingcloudecosystemfor
quicker time to market and long-
term platform
Two options are available, both pin-to-
pin compatible.
CC3100 Wireless Network Processor
The CC3100 device is a Wi-Fi, self-
contained network processor with on-
chip web server and embedded
TCP/IP stack that connects easily
to any low-cost and low-power
microcontroller (MCU) such as the
MSP430F552, thanks to a simple
UART or SPI driver and host memory
footprint as low as 7kB of code to
reside on the MCU. Hardware design
is made easy for space-constrained
boards with a small 64-pin 9×9-mm
QFN package. Certified modules are
coming soon.
CC3200 Wireless MCU
The SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 solution
The industry’s first Wi-Fi wireless mi-
crocontroller with user-dedicated MCU
capitalizes on the CC3100 benefits
and integrates a high-performance
80-MHz ARM

-M4 MCU and
peripherals. Developers can fully ac-
cess the MCU portion with 200kB of
application code available fully inde-
pendent from the Wi-Fi processing.
