Product details
Overview
CC1350F128RGZT from Texas Instruments is a dual-band ultra-low-power wireless microcontroller integrating an Arm® Cortex®-M3 CPU (48 MHz), 128 KB flash, 20 KB SRAM, and concurrent Sub-1 GHz + 2.4 GHz RF transceivers supporting Bluetooth® low energy 4.2 and IEEE 802.15.4g. It delivers –124 dBm RX sensitivity in long-range Sub-1 GHz mode and operates down to 0.7 µA in standby with RTC active-enabling multi-year battery life in smart metering and industrial sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the CC1350F128RGZT datasheet, CC1350F128RGZT pinout, CC1350F128RGZT application, or CC1350F128RGZT equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-band protocol coexistence, autonomous sensor controller operation, integrated DC/DC converter, 30 GPIOs in VQFN48, and regulatory compliance for ETSI EN 300 220, FCC Part 15, and ARIB STD-T66.
Technical Context
The CC1350F128RGZT implements a dual-core architecture: a 48-MHz Arm Cortex-M3 for application processing and a dedicated Cortex-M0 Radio Controller executing RF protocol stacks (Bluetooth LE, IEEE 802.15.4g, Wireless M-Bus) from ROM/RAM-enabling simultaneous Sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz operation without host intervention. Its RF section supports programmable output power up to +15 dBm (Sub-1 GHz) and +9 dBm (2.4 GHz), with single-ended or differential RF interface.
Power management is hardware-assisted via multiple low-power modes, including shutdown (185 nA), standby (0.7 µA), and sensor controller wakeups every second performing 12-bit ADC sampling at 0.95 µA. The integrated DC/DC converter enables efficient operation across 1.8–3.8 V supply, while the autonomous 16-bit Sensor Controller (2 KB SRAM, 24 MHz max) offloads analog/digital sensing tasks from the main MCU.

Pinout & Package
VQFN48 (RGZ) package, 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm, 0.5-mm pitch, with exposed thermal pad (EGP). Pinout optimized for RF isolation: RF_P/RF_N on opposite corners, DCDC_SW and VDDR_RF adjacent for decoupling, and dedicated crystal pins (X24M_P/N, X32K_Q1/Q2) grouped for low-noise timing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RF_P / RF_N | Differential RF I/O | Direct connection to matching network for Sub-1 GHz/2.4 GHz antenna switching; requires 50-Ω layout control. |
| DCDC_SW | DC/DC Switch Node | Connects to external inductor; switching frequency ~3.2 MHz - mandates low-ESR ceramic output capacitor (≥10 µF). |
| VDDR_RF / VDDR | RF & Core Analog Supply | 1.7–1.95 V regulated supplies - must be decoupled separately from digital rails to prevent RX noise coupling. |

FAQ
What wireless protocols does the CC1350F128RGZT natively support?
The CC1350F128RGZT natively supports Bluetooth® low energy 4.2 and IEEE 802.15.4g PHY in its ROM-based protocol stack, along with proprietary Sub-1 GHz and Wireless M-Bus (EN 13757-4) implementations. All protocol handling is managed by the dedicated Cortex-M0 Radio Controller, freeing the Cortex-M3 for application tasks. The CC1350F128RGZT does not support Zigbee or Thread without external software integration.
Does the CC1350F128RGZT require external RF components for basic operation?
Yes, the CC1350F128RGZT requires external RF matching components: a balun or diplexer for RF_P/RF_N differential interface, a 24-MHz crystal with load capacitors for the high-frequency oscillator, and a 32-kHz crystal for RTC. The integrated DC/DC converter still needs an external inductor and output capacitor. Reference designs (e.g., LAUNCHXL-CC1350) provide validated bill-of-materials for rapid prototyping of the CC1350F128RGZT.
How does the Sensor Controller in the CC1350F128RGZT reduce system power consumption?
The Sensor Controller in the CC1350F128RGZT is a fully autonomous 16-bit RISC processor with 2 KB SRAM that operates independently of the main Cortex-M3. It can perform analog acquisitions (12-bit ADC, comparator thresholds), digital polling, and conditional wake-up triggers - all while the Cortex-M3 remains in deep sleep. This architecture achieves 0.95 µA average current during one-second wakeup intervals, reducing total system power by up to 95% compared to CPU-driven sensing in the CC1350F128RGZT.
Is the CC1350F128RGZT pin-compatible with other devices in the CC13xx family?
The CC1350F128RGZT in the RGZ package shares identical pinout and footprint with CC1310F128RGZ (Sub-1 GHz only) and CC1352R (dual-band, larger memory), enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts. However, firmware and RF calibration differ - Sub-1 GHz-only variants lack 2.4 GHz transceiver registers, and CC1352R requires updated SDK due to enhanced radio features. Hardware compatibility does not guarantee software equivalence for the CC1350F128RGZT.
What development tools are officially supported for the CC1350F128RGZT?
Texas Instruments officially supports Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) IDE, IAR Embedded Workbench® for Arm, SmartRF Studio for RF configuration, Sensor Controller Studio for autonomous sensor firmware, and the TI SimpleLink™ SDK with royalty-free protocol stacks. Debugging uses cJTAG (2-pin) or JTAG via DIO_3/DIO_4 pins. The LAUNCHXL-CC1350 development kit provides hardware reference, RF validation, and out-of-box examples specifically for the CC1350F128RGZT.
