CC3220SF LaunchPad

CC3220SF LaunchPad

Created for the Internet of Things (IoT), the SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3220 device is a single-chip microcontroller (MCU) with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for the LaunchPad ecosystem, that integrates a high performance ARM Cortex-M4 MCU allowing customers to develop an entire application with one device. With on-chip Wi-Fi, Internet, and robust security protocols, no prior Wi-Fi experience is required for fast development. The CC3220 LaunchPad, referred to by its part number CC3220-LAUNCHXL, is a low-cost evaluation platform for ARM Cortex-M4-based MCUs. The LaunchPad design highlights the CC3220 Internet-on-a chip solution and Wi-Fi capabilities.

The CC3220 LaunchPad also features temperature and accelerometer sensors, programmable user buttons, three LEDs for custom applications, and onboard emulation for debugging. The stackable headers of the CC3220 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 codecs, antenna selection, environmental sensing, and more. There are two variants of the LaunchPad: the CC3220S-LAUNCHXL and the CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL. This user's guide applies to both variants, and any differences are pointed out in relevant sections. Multiple development environment tools are also available, including TI’s Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment and IAR Embedded Workbench.
