1.3 Description
Add Wi-Fi^® to low-cost, low-power MCU for IoT applications. The CC3120MOD is an FCC, IC, TELEC,
China, CE, and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ module that is part of the new SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi family, which
dramatically simplifies the implementation of Internet connectivity. The CC3120MOD integrates all
protocols for Wi-Fi and Internet, which greatly minimize host MCU software requirements. With built-in
security protocols, the CC3120MOD solution provides a robust and simple security experience.
Additionally, the CC3120MOD is a complete platform solution including various tools and software, sample
applications, user and programming guides, reference designs, and the TI E2E™ support community. The
CC3120MOD is available in an LGA package that is easy to lay out with all required components including
serial flash, RF filter, crystal, and passive components that are fully integrated.
The Wi-Fi network processor subsystem features a Wi-Fi Internet-on-a-chip and contains an additional
dedicated ARM MCU that off-loads many of the networking activities from the host MCU. This subsystem
includes an 802.11 b/g/n radio, baseband, and MAC with a powerful crypto engine for fast, secure Internet
connections with 256-bit encryption. The CC3120MOD module supports station, access point, and Wi-Fi
direct modes. The module supports WPA2 personal and enterprise security. This subsystem includes
embedded TCP/IP, TLS/SSL stacks, an HTTP server, and multiple Internet protocols. The CC3120MOD
module supports a variety of Wi-Fi provisioning methods, including HTTP based on AP mode,
SmartConfig™ technology, and WPS2.0.
As part of TI’s SimpleLink Wi-Fi family second generation, the CC3120MOD module introduces the new
features and enhanced capabilities, such as the following:
• IPv6
• Enhanced Wi-Fi provisioning
• Optimized low-power management
• Wi-Fi AP connection with up to four stations
• More concurrently opened BSD sockets and up to 16 BSD sockets, of which 6 are secure
• HTTPS support
• RESTful API support
• Asymmetric keys
• Crypto library
