The CC13x2 and CC26x2 device platform is designed around an Arm® Cortex®-M4F processor core. The Arm® Cortex®-M4F processor provides the core for a high-performance, low-cost platform that meets the needs of minimal memory implementation, reduced pin count, and low power consumption, while delivering outstanding computational performance and exceptional system response to interrupts.
Features of the processor core are as follows:
- 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4F architecture optimized for small-footprint embedded applications
- Outstanding processing performance combined with fast interrupt handling
- Thumb-2 mixed 16- and 32-bit instruction set delivers the high performance expected of a 32-bit Arm® core in a compact memory size, usually associated with 8- and 16-bit devices, typically in the range of a few kilobytes of memory for microcontroller-class applications.
- Single-cycle multiply instruction and hardware divide
- Atomic bit manipulation (bit-banding), delivering maximum memory use and streamlined peripheral control
- Unaligned data access, enabling efficient packing of data into memory
- Fast code execution permits slower processor clock or increases sleep mode time
- Harvard architecture characterized by separate buses for instruction and data
- Efficient processor core, system, and memories
- Hardware division and fast multiplier
- Deterministic, high-performance interrupt handling for time-critical applications
- Enhanced system debug with extensive breakpoint capabilities and debugging through power modes
- Compact JTAG interface reduces the number of pins required for debugging
- Ultra-low power consumption with integrated sleep modes
- Up to 48 MHz operation
