CC2431,pdf(System-on-Chip for

The CC2431 is a true System-On-Chip (SOC) for wireless sensor networking ZigBee®/IEEE 802.15.4 solutions. The chip includes a location detection hardware module that can be used in so-called blind nodes (i.e. nodes with unknown location) to receive signals from nodes with known location’s. Based on this the location engine calculates an estimate of a blind node’s position. The CC2431 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 Texas Instruments, the CC2431 provides the market’s most competitive ZigBee® solution.
