Merging the performance and ease-of-use of Stellaris® ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontrollers (MCU) with leading wireless connectivity solutions, TI has launched three new wireless kits. The kits serve as modular extensions to TI’s Stellaris DK-LM3S9B96 development kit to give engineers complete software and reference design solutions for adding RFID, low-power RF and ZigBee® capabilities to designs. With this offering, TI is building on its broad portfolio of 16-bit, ultra-low-power MSP430™-based wireless connectivity solutions, now providing 32-bit Stellaris MCU performance for execution of additional advanced connectivity and control functions in metering, home automation, and security.

ANT provides a simple, low cost and low power solution for short range wireless communication in point-to-point and more complex network topologies. Suitable for many applications, ANT is today a proven and established technology for collection, automatic transfer and tracking of sensor data within sports, wellness management and home health monitoring applications.
Texas Instruments' ANT solution for sensor applications will be available in November 2010.

The design note shows how CC11xx can be configured for maximum output power (+11 dBm) and how it meets FCC Section 15.247 requirements without the need for frequency hopping. Significant update to the design note: measurements performed on CC1101, changes to frequency deviation to meet 6 dB BW requirements, updated PSD and output power measurement results, and sensitivity figures significantly improved.

Crystal changed to 3.2x2.5 mm size

The design note gives measurement results of maximum output power, harmonics emission, and TX current consumption using wire wound inductors from 6 different vendors. The results show that the TX performance is not significantly degraded when using other inductors than the Murata LQW15A series, which is used on the CC1101EM 868-915 MHz reference design.

Anaren, Inc. recently announced the launch of a family of Anaren Integrated Radio (AIR) modules designed for the broad electronics market. Working closely with Texas Instruments as a member of the TI Developer Network, Anaren developed the five-module AIR family to provide a more elegant, FCC Certified, 'plug and play' RF solution to electronic engineers challenged with adding wireless capability to new or existing devices. Available in two standard sizes (9 x 12 x 2.5mm and 9 x 16 x 2.5mm), each modules’ footprint is smaller than a postage stamp.

LSMKE-D1, designed by LS Industrial Systems, is a multi-purpose IHD(In-Home Display) that displays energy consumption data in numeric and graph-view, group-average consumption for comparison, and CO2 emission to encourage energy saving. It also predicts monthly bills based on consumption patterns. Other capabilities include price table display, local weather update, energy saving tips, MP3 player, and digital photo album. It is a clear-type, touch screen, 7” display that can be stand-alone or wall-mounted. LSMKE-D1 uses Texas Instruments’ CC2530 system-on-chip ZigBee solution with CC2591, a 2.4 GHz RF Front End for low-power wireless applications.

A new family of FCC-certified, standard radio modules based on CC2500 and CC1101 devices can now be evaluated using the eZ-430-RF2500 Development Kit. Anaren's 433MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz, and 2400MHs "AIR" modules -- with integral or connectorized antenna -- are now available on a target-board designed to plug directly into the eZ-430 kit's "end-point" battery board and USB "access point" for easy module assessment and quick transition to a production environment with limited RF design required.

The Bluetooth Innovation World Cup 2010 ended successfully on September 15^th. 260 participants from all over the world submitted their concepts for applications making use of the new Bluetooth low energy technology in the categories sports and fitness, healthcare and home automation. With 43% of all ideas, home automation was the category that attracted most innovators. Ideas for the categories of sports & fitness and healthcare arrived at 27% and 30%, respectively. The nine finalists, who will be identified by an international team of experts, will be presented at the Electronica trade show in Munich from November 9-12 at the Bluetooth Innovation World Cup booth in Hall A 4, 573. Stay tuned for more!
Texas Instruments is an official partner of the Bluetooth Innovation World Cup 2010.

While deploring the general aspects and advantages of Bluetooth technology and its different specifications, the main focus of the conference will be on the new Bluetooth low energy technology. Representatives from the semiconductor and electronics industries, as well as sports & fitness and healthcare industries will present their developments and strategies for Bluetooth technology. Mobile operators will give insights on how the technology and the connecting of different devices can actually be realized.

Meet us at the TI booth 420 in Hall A4, and at the "TI Café" in Room A31/32 upstairs in Hall A3 at the Munich Trade Fair Center. At the TI booth you'll see applications of our innovative products, along with solutions for the future in the areas of Energy, Mobility and Industrial.
