CC430F6137IRGC

RF Transceiver ICS Overview

The CC430F6137IRGC is a System-on-Chip integrating an MSP430 16-bit microcontroller with an RF transceiver core. It features 32 kB of Flash program memory and 4 kB of SRAM data memory. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. The integrated RF section covers ISM bands from 300 MHz to 928 MHz, including specific ranges of 300-348 MHz, 389-464 MHz, and 779-928 MHz. It utilizes a 64-VQFN package with exposed pad for surface mount installation.

RF Transceiver ICS Feature Summary

• Integrates ultra-low-power MSP430 MCU with general-purpose ISM sub-1 GHz RF transceiver
• Supports multiple modulation schemes including 2FSK, 2GFSK, ASK, MSK, and OOK
• Provides high receiver sensitivity and configurable output power levels
• Includes comprehensive digital peripherals such as USCI interfaces and timers

RF Transceiver ICS Applications

• Wireless sensor networks
• Portable medical devices
• Industrial monitoring systems
• Home automation controllers

RF Transceiver ICS Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Texas Instruments distributors or certified partners. Confirm the specific suffix 'IRGC' corresponds to tube packaging rather than tape and reel formats. Check current lifecycle status as some sources indicate this specific variant may be discontinued or limited in availability compared to its reel-based counterparts.

RF Transceiver ICS Selection Notes

Select this part when a combined MCU and RF solution is required for sub-1 GHz applications. Ensure the 64-pin VQFN package fits the PCB layout constraints. Compare against CC430F6137IRGCR if tape-and-reel processing is preferred over tube handling. Verify that the 32 kB Flash and 4 kB RAM meet the firmware requirements.

RF Transceiver ICS Part Context

This component belongs to the CC430 family of RF Systems-on-Chips by Texas Instruments. It combines the energy-efficient MSP430 architecture with a robust RF front-end. The IRGC suffix denotes a specific package and temperature grade configuration within the broader CC430F613x series, designed for cost-sensitive and space-constrained wireless designs.

RF Transceiver ICS Replacement Considerations

CC430F6137IRGCR is a direct functional equivalent differing primarily in packaging format (tape and reel versus tube). Other members of the CC430F61xx series may offer different memory sizes but share the same core architecture.
