Connect any microcontroller (MCU) to the Internet of Things (IoT) with the CC3135 device, a dual-band wireless network processor from Texas Instruments. The CC3135 Wi-Fi® Internet-on-a chip™ device contains an Arm Cortex-M3 MCU dedicated to Wi-Fi® and internet protocols, to offload networking activities from the host MCU. The subsystem includes a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n radio, baseband, and MAC with a powerful crypto engine for fast, secure Internet connections with 256-bit encryption and a built-in power management for best-in-class low-power performance.

The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED® CC3135 device dramatically simplifies the implementation of low-power, with the integrated Wi-Fi Alliance® IoT low power feature.

This generation introduces new capabilities that further simplify the connectivity of things to the Internet. The main new features include:

  • 802.11a (5GHz) support
  • BLE/2.4GHz radio coexistence
  • Antenna selection
  • Enhanced security with FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certification and more. For exact status of FIPS certification for a specific part number, refer to https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips.
  • Up to 16 concurrent secure sockets
  • Certificate sign request (CSR)
  • Online certificate status protocol (OCSP)
  • Wi-Fi Alliance® certified for IoT applications with low-power capabilities and more
  • Hostless mode for offloading template packet transmissions
  • Improved fast scan

The CC3135 device is delivered with a slim and user-friendly host driver to simplify the integration and development of networking applications. The host driver can easily be ported to most platforms and operating systems (OS). The driver has a small memory footprint and can run on 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit microcontrollers with any clock speed (no performance or real-time dependency).

The CC3135 device is part of the SimpleLink™ MCU platform, a common, easy-to-use development environment based on a single core software development kit (SDK), rich tool set, reference designs, and E2E™ community which supports Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® low energy, Sub-1GHz and host MCUs.
