CC3200 LaunchPad

The high performance CC3200 is the industry's first single-chip Microcontroller (MCU) with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for the LaunchPad™ ecosystem. Created for the Internet of Things (IoT), the SimpleLink WiFi CC3200 device is a wireless MCU that integrates a high-performance ARM® Cortex®-M4 MCU allowing customers to develop an entire application with a single IC. With on-chip Wi-Fi, internet and robust security protocols, no prior Wi-Fi experience is needed for faster development. The CC3200 LaunchPad is a low-cost evaluation platform for ARM® Cortex™-M4F-based microcontrollers.

The LaunchPad design highlights the CC3200 Internet-on-a-chip™ solution and WiFi capabilities. The CC3200 LaunchPad also features programmable user buttons, RGB LED for custom applications and onboard emulation for debugging. The stackable headers of the CC3200 LaunchPad XL interface demonstrate how easy it is to expand the functionality of the LaunchPad when interfacing with other peripherals on many existing BoosterPack add-on boards such as graphical displays, audio codec, antenna selection, environmental sensing, and much more.
