1 Introduction
1.1 CC3100MOD BOOST
Introducing the CC3100MOD Booster pack compatible with all TI Launchpads for adding
WIFI capability to embedded systems.
The CC3100MODBOOST Booster Pack is an easy-to-use evaluation module for the
CC3100 WIFI device. It contains everything needed to start developing a WIFI solution on
TI Launchpad. This board is also designed to interface with another board named
CC3100EMUBOOST (FTDI based Emulation and debug board) to provide an interface to
the PC for development using SimpleLink™ Studio (TI provided application and source
code to develop WIFI based software on a PC)
The CC3100MOD module integrates the complete RF, digital baseband, and power
management needed to provide WIFI access to any embedded system using a 8,16 ot 32
bit Microcontrollers.
Rapid prototyping is a snap thanks to the 40-pin headers and a wide variety of
Launchpads available. These connectors provide stackability to ensure that other
booster-packs like Audio, LCD, sensors etc. can be mounted on top or bottom of this
booster-pack.
1.2 CC3100MOD Module
The CC3100MOD module is a second-generation SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi self-contained
network processor module that dramatically simplifies the implementation of Internet
connectivity. The CC3100MOD module is an ideal solution for embedded applications
using low-cost and low-power microcontrollers with reduced board space and faster
development times.
Fully integrated module with serial flash, Crystal and RF filter. Only needs power
supply and a serial interface to operate.
