Introduction
1.1
CC3200MOD LaunchPad
Start your design with the CC3200 module LaunchPad (CC3200MODLAUNCHXL), which encapsulates
the industry’s first programmable wireless microcontroller (MCU) module with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity.
Created for the Internet of Things (IoT), the SimpleLink CC3200MOD is a wireless MCU module that
integrates an ARM Cortex-M4 MCU, allowing customers to develop an entire application using a single
device. The CC3200MOD integrates all required system-level hardware components including clocks, SPI
flash, RF switch, and all required passive components.
This document explains the various configurations of the CC3200MODLAUNCHXL, a low-cost evaluation
platform which hosts the CC3200MOD. The module LaunchPad also features programmable user buttons,
RGB LED for custom applications, temperature and accelerometer sensors, as well as onboard emulation
for debugging. The LaunchPad stackable headers interface demonstrates how to expand the functionality
of the CC3200MOD when interfacing with other peripherals on existing BoosterPack add-on boards, such
as graphical displays, audio codec, antenna selection, environmental sensing, and more. The
CC3200MODLAUNCHXL is provided as a complete platform solution including software, sample
applications, tools, user and programming guides, reference designs, and the TI E2E™ support
community.

NOTE:
The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of
at least 20 cm from all persons, and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
