The TI CC256x device is a
complete Bluetooth BR/EDR/LE HCI solution
that
reduces design effort and enables fast time to market. Based on TIs
seventh-generation Bluetooth core, the CC256x device provides a product-proven solution that
is Bluetooth 4.1
compliant. When coupled with a
microcontroller unit (MCU), this HCI device offers best-in-class RF performance
with a range of about 2X compared to other Bluetooth LE-only solutions. Furthermore, TIs power-management hardware
and software algorithms provide significant power savings in all commonly used
Bluetooth BR/EDR/LE modes of operation.
The TI Dual-Mode Bluetooth Stack software is certified and provided royalty free for TIs
MSP430 and ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 MCUs. Other MPUs can be supported through TIs third party.
iPod® (MFi) protocol is supported by
add-on software packages. For more information, see
TI Dual-Mode Bluetooth Stack. Some
of the profiles supported include the following:
Serial port profile (SPP)
Advanced audio distribution profile (A2DP)
Audio/video remote control profile (AVRCP)
Handsfree profile (HFP)
Human interface device (HID)
Generic attribute profile (GATT)
Several Bluetooth LE profiles and servicesIn addition to software, this solution consists of multiple reference
designs with a low BOM cost, including a new Bluetooth audio
sink reference design for customers to create a variety of applications for low-end, low-power
audio solutions.
