• Automated Meter Reading
Description
The CC2480 (formerly known as CCZACC06)
is a cost-effective, low power, Z-Accel ZigBee
Processor that provides full ZigBee
functionality with a minimal development effort.
Z-Accel is a solution where TI’s ZigBee stack,
Z-Stack, runs on a ZigBee Processor and the
application runs on an external microcontroller.
The CC2480 handles all the timing critical and
processing intensive ZigBee protocol tasks,
and leaves the resources of the application
microcontroller free to handle the application.
CC2480 supports TI’s SimpleAPI. SimpleAPI
has only 10 API calls to learn, which drastically
simplifies the development of ZigBee
applications.
Z-Accel makes it easy to add ZigBee to new or
existing products at the same time as it
provides great flexibility in choice of
microcontroller.
CC2480 interfaces any microcontroller through
an SPI or UART interface. There is no need to
learn a new microcontroller or new tools.
CC2480 can for example be combined with an
MSP430.
