Chipcon founded
Design house
Fabless semiconductor company
From ASIC to ASSP
Global expansion
CMOS enables technology leadership
ASSPs dominate revenue
World’s first on ZigBee
Texas Instruments Norway was established with the acquisition of Chipcon AS on January 24, 2006 and is now the Low Power Wireless headquarter located in Oslo, Norway
Chipcon started in 1996 as a asic design house but quickly moved into standardized products for RF. Allready in late 2003 Chipcon released the industry’s first IEEE transceiver, the CC2420. With the aquisition of Figure 8 Wireless, a ZigBee stack provider, in early 2005 Chipcon became a total solution provider for ZigBee.
Acquired Figure8 Wireless Inc.
ZigBee leader

3. Key Markets Industrial Consumer ZigBee
LPW has three focus markets: Industrial, Consumer and ZigBee.

4. Global Frequencies
This slide shows different open frequency bands used around the world. Often referred to as ISM bands.

5. CC1111 Low-Power RF SoC with USB Controller
Market Leadership
The CC1111 is the industry’s first sub-1 GHz RF system-on-chip (SoC) with an integrated USB controller, enabling a fast and easy bridge between PCs and RF.
The integration of a high-performance radio, microcontroller, flash memory and USB controller results in smaller PCB size, easier assembly, reduced overall system cost and faster time-to-market.
Complete Integration
The CC1111 is pin- and register-compatible with the CC1110 (sub-1 GHz SoC), CC2511 (2.4 GHz SoC with USB) and CC2510 (2.4 GHz SoC) to deliver solutions for both sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency ranges.
SoC Family
Combined with TI’s SimpliciTI™ network protocol, the CC1111 provides easy development and improved low-power designs for wireless sensor networking applications.

10. SimpliciTI™ Network Protocol
SimpliciTI is a proprietary low-power RF network protocol aimed at small, low-power RF networks
Resource requirements (MCU) are minimal which results in low system cost
Easy implementation and deployment
Low-power MCUs and RF chips are not enough to achieve low power consumption in end applications. A well engineered low-power RF protocol is essential
TI wants to help the customer all the way from idea to mass production
Runs out-of-the-box on several TI RF platforms: A small MSP430 + latest CC transceivers or our new 8051 RF SoCs
Range can be extended through repeaters
The circles represent range of gateway and extended range of repeaters

11. Tools: Packet Sniffer Packet Sniffer
General packet sniffer available, runs on the dev kits
Already supports SimpliciTI network protocol
Packet sniffer can be used with all application examples, not just SimpliciTI
The packet sniffer visualizes all RF traffic and content in a graphical format.
Each packet receives a time stamp and RF protocol flow can be inspected in chronological order

12. Tools: SmartRF Studio SmartRF Studio Full support for all four SoCs
Supports code export of all registers
RX and TX packet testing can be done with any RF setting
Includes suggested RF settings which are characterized (”preferred settings”)
