A dual-band wireless microcontroller for wireless healthcare uses
Texas Instruments is touting its SimpleLink dual-band CC1350 as the world’s first dual-band (sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz) wireless microcontroller. The MCU, which counts wireless healthcare among its potential applications, is the winner of this year’s Golden Mousetrap Awards in the category of automation and control in industrial network technologies.
The MCU boasts low active RF and microcontroller (MCU) current consumption and flexible low-power modes, allowing for long-range operation on small coin-cell batteries and energy-harvesting applications.
