DALLAS, July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments
Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today announced the Stellaris® 2.4
GHz CC2560 Bluetooth® Wireless Kit (DK-EM2-2560B), aimed at
jumpstarting Bluetooth®-enabled designs. The kit includes
the high-throughput, power-efficient CC2560 Bluetooth
solution and proven Bluetooth stack within StellarisWare®
software. The performance and integration of Stellaris MCUs pair
with TI's leading Bluetooth solution to help developers
address the demand for more streaming audio, remote control and
data transfer in industrial and consumer applications. For complete
details, visit www.ti.com/bt-kit-2560b-pr-tf. For a video
demonstration, visit www.ti.com/bt-kt-pr-v.
With this offering, TI further expands its broad portfolio of
complete microcontroller and wireless technology solutions, which
includes 16- and 32-bit MCUs backed by ZigBee®, low-power wireless,
RFID, and Bluetooth hardware and software. The Stellaris 2.4
GHz CC2560 Bluetooth Wireless Kit is modular and can be
combined with the same Stellaris DK-LM3S9B96 Development Kit that
serves as a baseboard for other Stellaris wireless solutions. When
coupled with the DK- LM3S9B96 development board, the kit includes
all hardware and software needed to jumpstart development. It also
speeds the design process, as engineers are able to evaluate the
working Bluetooth solution within 10 minutes or less using
the included quick-start application.
