| New! Bluetooth® low energy SensorTag app for Android 4.3 |
|
 TI now offers a Bluetooth Smart SensorTag app for Android following the launch of Android 4.3 "Jelly Bean" native support of Bluetooth Smart Ready. The new app, available for free at www.ti.com/sensortag-app-android, removes the barriers to entry for app developers who want to take advantage of the millions of Android smartphones and tablets that will soon be Bluetooth Smart Ready. With Android and iOS support, TI makes Bluetooth Smart "appcessory" development simpler and faster with the CC2541-based SensorTag, which has six commonly used sensors on a single board for quick evaluation and demos.

| DN511 CC112x/C112x RX Sniff Mode |
|
|
The RX Sniff Mode is a novel feature enabled by the TI Performance Line WaveMatch technology. The receiver only needs 4 bits of preamble for settling, as opposed to legacy receivers that often need 3 - 4 bytes. In a typical RF protocol where several preamble bytes are transmitted, TI Performance Line can autonomously duty cycle the receiver while waiting for a packet. Therefore, the RX Sniff Mode can be used fully transparent to the user, while offering greatly reduced average current without sacrificing RF performance. Read how the RX Sniff Mode can be configured for different TX configurations and how average power consumption can be estimated for a receiver implementing this mode. |
