Description


View  View SimpliciTI Structure

SimpliciTI is a simple low-power RF network protocol aimed at small RF networks. Such networks typically contain battery operated devices which require long battery life, low data rate and low duty cycle and have a limited number of nodes talking directly to each other or through an access point or range extenders. Access point and range extenders are not required but provide extra functionality such as store and forward messages. With SimpliciTI the MCU resource requirements are minimal which results in the low system cost.

SimpliciTI was designed for easy implementation and deployment out-of-the-box on several TI RF platforms such as the MSP430 family of low-power MCUs and the CC1XXX/CC25XX transceivers and SoCs. The sample applications run out-of-the-box on several hardware platforms:

  • SmartRF04 + CC2430EM Development Board
  • SmartRF05 + MSP430F2618 + CC2520EM Development Board
  • MSP430FG4618/F2013 Experimenter Board with CC1100EM, CC1101EM or CC2500EM
  • eZ430-RF2500 Development Tool
  • CC1110-CC1111DK and CC2510-CC2511DK

Download & Register (To Receive Update Notifications via e-mail)

SimpliciTI™-1.0.6.exe for CC11xx, CC25xx and CC2430 SimpliciTI™ 1.0.6 now supports the CC2520 as well as the CC2591 (when combined with the CC2520 and CC2430). The 1.0.6 release has also been improved to provide lower power consumption for longer battery life.

By registering, we will be able to notify you of updates when they become available and provide instructions on how to perform the update.
