The main features of CC2530 chip and its application areas

CC2530 (Wireless System-on-Chip Microcontroller) is a true system-on-chip solution for IEEE802.15.4, ZigBee and RF4CE applications. It can build a powerful wireless network at a very low cost. Moreover, CC530 also combines the excellent performance of the leading 2.4GHz RF transceiver and is an industry-standard enhanced 8051 microcontroller. Therefore, if you know about the 51 microcontroller, it is very simple to get started with CC2530. The chip pin diagram is as follows:

According to the capacity of the built-in flash memory of the chip, it can be divided into four types: CC2530F32/64/128/256. The number suffixes respectively represent: flash memory with 32KB/64KB/128KB/256KB.
