Overview
The Texas Instruments CC2650MODAMOHR is a SimpleLink™ wireless microcontroller (MCU) module designed for Bluetooth low energy (BLE), ZigBee®, 6LoWPAN, and proprietary RF applications. This module is based on the CC2650 wireless MCU, a member of the CC26xx family, known for its ultra-low-power consumption and 2.4-GHz RF capabilities. The CC2650MODAMOHR features a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor running at 48 MHz and includes a unique ultra-low-power sensor controller that can operate autonomously while the rest of the system is in sleep mode. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including industrial, consumer electronics, and medical devices. The module is pre-certified for compliance with worldwide radio frequency regulations, including FCC, IC, ETSI, and ARIB, which simplifies the integration process for customers.
