CC2531F256RHAT

The CC2531F256RHAT is a System-on-chip (SoC) RF Transceiver for IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee applications. The USB enabled true system-on-chip (SoC) solution for RF4CE applications. It enables USB dongles or USB upgradable network nodes to be built with low total bill-of-material costs. The CC2531 combines the performance of a leading RF transceiver with an industry-standard enhanced 8051 MCU, in-system programmable flash memory, 8kB RAM and many other powerful features. The CC2531 has various operating modes, making it suited for systems where ultralow power consumption is required. Short transition times between operating modes further ensure low energy consumption. Combined with the industry-leading and golden-unit-status ZigBee protocol stack (Z-Stack) from Texas Instruments, the CC2531 provides a robust and complete ZigBee USB dongle or firmware upgradable network node.
