Product Description
The CC2430 comes in three different flash
versions: CC2430F32/64/128, with 32/64/128
KB of flash memory respectively. The CC2430
is a true System-on-Chip (SoC) solution
specifically tailored for IEEE 802.15.4 and
ZigBee® applications. It enables ZigBee®
nodes to be built with very low total bill-ofmaterial
costs. The CC2430 combines the
excellent performance of the leading CC2420
RF transceiver with an industry-standard
enhanced 8051 MCU, 32/64/128 KB flash
memory, 8 KB RAM and many other powerful
features. Combined with the industry leading
ZigBee® protocol stack (Z-Stack™) from Texas
Instruments, the CC2430 provides the market’s
most competitive ZigBee® solution.
The CC2430 is highly suited for systems where
ultra low power consumption is required. This
is ensured by various operating modes. Short
transition times between operating modes
further ensure low power consumption.

Key Features
• RF/Layout
o 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF
transceiver (industry leading CC2420 radio
core)
o Excellent receiver sensitivity and robustness to
interferers
o Very few external components
o Only a single crystal needed for mesh network
systems
o RoHS compliant 7x7mm QLP48 package
• Low Power
o Low current consumption (RX: 27 mA, TX: 27
mA, microcontroller running at 32 MHz)
o Only 0.5 μA current consumption in powerdown
mode, where external interrupts or the RTC
can wake up the system
o 0.3 μA current consumption in stand-by mode,
where external interrupts can wake up the
system
o Very fast transition times from low-power
modes to active mode enables ultra low
average power consumption in low dutycycle
systems
o Wide supply voltage range (2.0V - 3.6V)
