CC2560ARVMR

CC2560ARVMR is TI’s Reference Validation Module (RVM) for the CC2560 Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR controller. It provides a ready-to-use evaluation platform to prototype, test, and validate BR/EDR Bluetooth applications with a host MCU.
Key points:
- On-board CC2560 BR/EDR module with preloaded firmware and example applications.
- Host interfaces typically include HCI via UART and, optionally, USB for PC access.
- Includes documentation, design guides, and test/demo software to help you evaluate performance, profiles, and integration.
- Used to develop and validate your own production design around the CC2560 before final hardware.
For exact pinouts, interfaces, and getting-started steps, consult the CC2560ARVMR User Guide on TI’s website.

Here are the key features of the CC2560ARVMR (Bluetooth Classic BR/EDR Evaluation Module):
- Fully integrated Bluetooth BR/EDR transceiver and baseband (no BLE) for 2.4 GHz radio.
- HCI interface to host MCU via UART (default) with SPI option available.
- Data paths: ACL and SCO/eSCO support; PCM/I2S audio interface.
- Bluetooth data rate: Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) up to ~3 Mbps.
- ROM-based Bluetooth protocol stack with TI sample software/support (profiles and services via L2CAP/RFCOMM/SDP).
- RF front-end with integrated matching/network; external antenna option.
- Power: 3.3V I/O with on-board regulators; 1.8V core (typical for the CC2560); requires clock crystal (typical frequency provided on board).
- Evaluation board features: USB power/debug/interface, headers/jumpers for easy MCU connection, LEDs for status, JTAG/Debug connectivity.
- Supports standard development toolchains and TI Bluetooth software stacks (e.g., Bluetopia/SimpleLink family).
Note: CC2560A is Classic Bluetooth only (no BLE). Check latest datasheet for exact jumper/connector details.

QFN-28 package (4×4 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), RoHS-compatible; typically supplied in tape-and-reel (RVM) packaging.

- Pin count: 48-pin QFN (5×5 mm) package.
- Function: Bluetooth v2.0+EDR controller/transceiver (radio, baseband, MAC) with host interface via HCI (UART, with optional SPI); provides GPIOs and power management for use with an external MCU as a Bluetooth controller.

- Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI).
- What kind of company: TI is an American multinational semiconductor company that designs and manufactures analog and embedded processing semiconductors and wireless ICs for a wide range of applications.

CC2560ARVMR is TI’s Bluetooth Classic/EDR evaluation module for embedded designs. Applications include wireless audio (headsets, hands-free car kits, speakers), wireless data/telemetry for medical, fitness and industrial sensors, remote controls and consumer electronics, and automotive telematics/gateways requiring BR/EDR connectivity.
