CC2642R-Q1 Automotive SimpleLink™ Bluetooth® 5.1 LE Wireless MCU

Texas Instruments' MCU is optimized for low-power wireless communication in car-access applications

Image of Texas Instruments' CC2642R-Q1 Automotive SimpleLink™ Bluetooth® LE Wireless MCUTexas Instruments' CC2642R-Q1 SimpleLink, AEC-Q100 compliant wireless microcontroller (MCU) targets Bluetooth 5 LE automotive applications. The device is optimized for low-power wireless communication in applications such as car-access and security systems, battery management systems (BMS), car sharing, piloted parking, cable replacement, and smartphone connectivity.

The CC2642R-Q1 device is part of the SimpleLink MCU platform which consists of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, Thread, Zigbee®, sub-1 GHz MCUs, and host MCUs that share a common, easy-to-use development environment with a single core SDK and rich tool set. A one-time integration of the SimpleLink platform enables users to add any combination of the portfolio’s devices into their design allowing 100% code reuse when the design requirements change.
