The CC2480 (formerly known as CCZACC06)

is a cost-effective, low power, Z-Accel ZigBee

Processor that provides full ZigBee

functionality with a minimal development effort.

Z-Accel is a solution where TI’s ZigBee stack,

Z-Stack, runs on a ZigBee Processor and the

application runs on an external microcontroller.

The CC2480 handles all the timing critical and

processing intensive ZigBee protocol tasks,

and leaves the resources of the application

microcontroller free to handle the application.

Z-Accel makes it easy to add ZigBee to new or

existing products at the same time as it

provides great flexibility in choice of

microcontroller.

CC2480 interfaces any microcontroller through

an SPI or UART interface. There is no need to

learn a new microcontroller or new tools.

CC2480 can for example be combined with an

MSP430.
