CC430F6135IRGCT

RF Transceiver ICS Overview

The CC430F6135IRGCT is a Texas Instruments RF microcontroller featuring an MSP430 core and integrated Sub-1 GHz radio. It operates within the 300 MHz to 928 MHz frequency range, supporting ISM bands including 315 MHz, 433 MHz, and 868/915 MHz. The device provides 16 KB of Flash memory and 2 KB of SRAM. Key peripherals include a 12-bit ADC, AES-128 encryption engine, and standard communication interfaces such as I2C, SPI, and UART. Packaged in a VQFN-64 format, it supports LCD segments and functions as a complete system-on-chip solution for low-power wireless applications.

RF Transceiver ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IRGCT corresponds to the VQFN-64 package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the ordering part number matches the required memory configuration of 16 KB Flash and 2 KB RAM. Ensure compatibility with the intended operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Check moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles against assembly requirements. Validate that the RF frequency bands align with regional regulatory standards for the target deployment area.

RF Transceiver ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined MCU and RF solution is necessary to reduce board space and power consumption. The CC430F6135IRGCT is suitable for designs requiring moderate processing power alongside reliable Sub-1 GHz connectivity. Consider the available GPIO count and peripheral set against application complexity. Evaluate the trade-off between the 16 KB Flash capacity and potential code size constraints. Compare against higher-memory variants if extensive data logging or complex protocols are required.

RF Transceiver ICS Part Context

This part belongs to the CC430 family of System-on-Chip devices from Texas Instruments. These controllers merge the energy-efficient MSP430 architecture with robust RF capabilities. The series targets applications demanding minimal active and standby current. Variants within the family typically differ in Flash size, RAM capacity, and peripheral availability while sharing the same core processor and radio interface.

RF Transceiver ICS Replacement Considerations

CC430F6137IRGCT offers increased memory resources with 32 KB Flash and 4 KB SRAM in the same package.
