3 Description

The SimpleLink™ CC274xR-Q1 and CC274xP-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 complaint wireless microcontrollers (MCUs) supporting Bluetooth® Low Energy 6.0 for automotive applications. These devices are optimized for low-power wireless communication in applications such as car access including passive entry passive start (PEPS), phone as a key (PaaK), and remote keyless entry (RKE). The key features of this device include:

• Support for Bluetooth® 6.0 and earlier version features:
  • LE Coded PHYs (Long Range), LE 2Mbit PHY (high speed), advertising extensions, multiple advertisement Sets, CSA#2, as well as backward compatibility with earlier Low Energy specifications.
  • Bluetooth® Channel Sounding technology and Algorithm Processing Unit (APU) to enable high accuracy, low cost, and secure phase-based ranging mechanism for distance estimation.
    • APU enables latency and power-efficient execution of distance-ranging signal processing algorithms including FFT and super-resolution complex algorithms like MUSIC (MUltiple SIgnal Classification) at the lowest energy consumption.
• Arm (Custom Data Extension) CDE instruction support for machine learning acceleration
• Fully qualified Bluetooth software protocol stack included with the SimpleLink™ Low Power F3 Software Development Kit (SDK)
• Advanced security features for connected wireless MCUs:
  • Isolated HSM environment with a dedicated controller handling accelerated cryptographic and random number generation operations
  • Secure boot and firmware updates with the root of trust enabled by immutable system ROM
  • ARM Cortex M33 TrustZone-M based trusted execution environment support
  • Secure key storage support with HSM and TrustZone-M
  • Hardware fault sensors to mitigate low-cost, low-effort, non-invasive physical attack threats like voltage glitch injection.
  • Dedicated AES-128 HW accelerator for handling timing critical link layer encryption/decryption operations
• Ultra-low standby current with full 162KB SRAM retention and RTC operation that enables significant battery life extension, especially for applications with longer sleep intervals.
• Extended temperature support with the lowest standby current
• Integrated BALUN and integrated RF switch to support both transmit and receive operations on the same RF pin even for the P version; thereby, enabling reduced a bill-of-material (BOM) board layout
• Excellent radio sensitivity and robustness (selectivity and blocking) performance for Bluetooth Low Energy

The CC274xR/P-Q1 devices are part of the SimpleLink™ MCU platform, which consists of Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth Low Energy, Thread, Zigbee, Sub1GHz MCUs, and host MCUs that 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 portfolio’s devices into your design, allowing 100 percent code reuse when your design requirements change.
