The
CC3120R device is part of the SimpleLink™ microcontroller (MCU) platform that
consists of Wi-Fi®,
Bluetooth
low
energy, Sub-1 GHz and host MCUs. All share a common, easy-to-use development
environment with a single core software development kit (SDK) and rich tool set. A
one-time integration of the SimpleLink™ platform enables you to add any combination
of the devices from the portfolio into your design, allowing 100 percent code reuse
when your design requirements change. For more information, visit

.Connect
any microcontroller (MCU) to the internet-of-things (IoT) cloud with the CC3120R
device from Texas Instruments™. The Wi-Fi
Alliance®-certified CC3120R device is part of the second generation
of the SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® family that dramatically simplifies the
implementation of low-power internet connectivity.The
CC3120R has all of the Wi-Fi and internet protocols implemented in the ROM, which
runs from the dedicated on-chip Arm® network processor and significantly
offloads the host MCU and simplifies the system integration.The
CC3120R Wi-Fi® Internet-on-a chip™ device contains a dedicated
Arm® MCU that offloads many of the networking activities from the
host MCU. This subsystem includes an 802.11b/g/n radio, baseband, and MAC with a
powerful crypto engine for fast, secure internet connections with 256-bit
encryption. The CC3120R device supports station, AP, and Wi-Fi direct modes. The
device also supports WPA2™ personal and enterprise security and WPA3™ personal and
enterprise. The device includes embedded TCP/IP and TLS/SSL stacks, an HTTP server,
and multiple internet protocols. The CC3120R device supports a variety of Wi-Fi
provisioning methods, including HTTP based on AP mode, SmartConfig™ technology, and
WPS2.0.As part
of TI’s SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® family second generation, the CC3120R device
introduces new features and enhanced capabilities, such as the following:
IPv6
Enhanced Wi-Fi provisioning
Optimized low-power management
Wi-Fi AP connection with up to four stations
More concurrently opened BSD sockets; up to 16 BSD sockets, of which 6 are
secure
HTTPS support
RESTful API support
Asymmetric keys crypto library
The
CC3120R 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 is written
in strict ANSI-C (C99) programming language and requires a minimal platform
adaptation layer (porting layer). The driver has a small memory footprint and can
run on 8-, 16-, or 32-bit MCUs with any clock speed (no performance or real-time
dependency).The
CC3120R device comes in an easy-to-layout VQFN package and is delivered as a
complete platform solution, including various tools and software, sample
applications, user and programming guides, reference designs, and the TI E2E™
support community. The CC3120R device is part of the SimpleLink MCU Ecosystem.
