CC256x Bluetooth 4.0 Controller

Texas Instruments CC256x BLUETOOTH® 4.0 Controller is a complete Bluetooth 4.0 dual mode BR/EDR/LE HCI solution based on TI's seventh-generation Bluetooth core.  When coupled with an MCU device, this HCI device provides best-in-class RF performance. TI's power-management hardware and software algorithms provide significant power savings in all commonly used BLUETOOTH BR/EDR/LE modes of operation. With transmit power and receive sensitivity, this solution provides a best-in-class range of about 2x, compared to other BLE-only solutions. A royalty-free software Bluetooth stack available from TI is pre-integrated with TI's MSP430 and Arm Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 MCUs. Some of the profiles supported today include: serial port profile (SPP), human interface device (HID), and several BLE profiles (these profiles vary based on the supported MCU).
