Product Description
The CC2431 is a true System-On-Chip (SOC) for wireless sensor networking ZigBee™ / 802.15.4 solutions with location detection engine hardware onboard allowing location accuracy of around 3 meters or less. It enables ZigBee™ nodes to be built with very low total bill-of-material costs. The CC2431 combines the excellent performance of the leading CC2420 RF transceiver with an industry-standard enhanced 8051 MCU, 128 KB flash memory, 8 KB RAM and many other powerful features. Combined with the industry leading ZigBee™ protocol stack (Z-Stack™) from Figure 8 Wireless / Chipcon, the CC2431 provides the market’s most competitive ZigBee™ solution.
The CC2431 is highly suited for systems where ultra low power consumption is required. This
is achieved by various operating modes. Short transition times between these modes further
ensure low power consumption.
Key Features
• Location Engine accurately calculates the location of a node in a network
• High performance and low power 8051 microcontroller core.
• 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver (industry leading CC2420 radio core).
• Excellent receiver sensitivity and robustness to interferers
• 128 KB in-system programmable flash
• 8 KB RAM, 4 KB with data retention in all power modes
• Powerful DMA functionality
• Very few external components
• Only a single crystal needed for mesh network systems
• Low current consumption (RX: 27mA, TX: 25mA, microcontroller running at 32 MHz)
• Only 0.9µA current consumption in power-down mode, where external interrupts or the RTC can wake up the system
• Less than 0.6µA current consumption in power-down mode, where external interrupts can wake up the system
• Very fast transition times from lowpower modes to active mode enables ultra low average power consumption in low duty-cycle systems
• CSMA/CA hardware support
• Wide supply voltage range (2.0V – 3.6V)
• Digital RSSI/ LQI support
• Battery monitor and temperature sensor
• 8-14 bits ADC with up to eight inputs
• 128-bit AES security coprocessor
• Two powerful USARTs with support for several serial protocols.
• Hardware debug support
• Watchdog timer
• One IEEE 802.15.4 MAC Timer, one general 16-bit timer and two 8-bit timers
• RoHS compliant 7x7mm QLP48 package
• 21 general I/O pins, two with 20mA sink/source capability
• Powerful and flexible development tools available
