CC3120 SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi
The CC3120 device is part of the SimpleLink™ microcontroller (MCU) platform which 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 lets you add any combination of devices from the portfolio into your design. The
ultimate goal of the SimpleLink platform is to achieve 100 percent code reuse when your design
requirements change. For more information, visit www.ti.com/simplelink.
The SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3120 wireless network processor from Texas Instruments™ provides users the
flexibility to add Wi-Fi to any MCU. This user's guide explains the various configurations of the CC3120
BoosterPack™ Plug-In Module.
