SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi®SensorTag
The SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi®SensorTag from Texas Instruments™ (model CC3200SensorTag) provides a
demo platform for showcasing the capabilities of the CC3200 device. With this easy-to-use platform,
environmental sensing and other Internet of Things (IoT) applications can be done with ease.
The CC3200 device is part of the SimpleLink microcontroller (MCU) platform which consists of Wi-Fi®,
Bluetooth®low energy, Sub-1 GHz and host MCUs. All share a common, easy-to-use development
environment with a single core software development kit (SDK) and rich tool set. A one-time integration of
the SimpleLink platform lets you add any combination of devices from the portfolio into your design. The
ultimate goal of the SimpleLink platform is to achieve 100 percent code reuse when your design
requirements change. For more information, visit www.ti.com/simplelink.

Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 CC3200 SensorTag
The high-performance CC3200 device is the industry's first single-chip microcontroller (MCU) with built-in
Wi-Fi connectivity for easy system application. Created for the Internet of Things (IoT), the SimpleLink™
Wi-Fi CC3200 device is a wireless MCU that integrates a high-performance ARM®Cortex®-M4 MCU that
allows customers to develop an entire application with a single device. With on-chip Wi-Fi, internet, and
robust security protocols, no prior Wi-Fi experience is needed for fast development.
The CC3200 SensorTag is a low-cost IoT demo platform for ARM®Cortex®-M4F-based microcontrollers.
The SensorTag design highlights the CC3200 Internet-on-a chip™ solution and Wi-Fi capabilities. The
CC3200 SensorTag features programmable user buttons, LEDs, reed relay, digital microphone, and a
buzzer for user interaction. Onboard sensors, gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass allow for easy
environmental sensing and IoT applications. Figure 1 shows the CC3200 SensorTag.
NOTE: All figures and references in this document apply to the Rev1.2. Most of the text in this
document also applies to the Rev1.2, unless otherwise stated.
The kit contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive components.
Handle with care to prevent permanent damage.

1.4 FCC/IC Regulatory Compliance
1.4.1 FCC
The CC3200 SimpleLink Wi-Fi and IoT solution with MCU LaunchPad™ hardware is FCC Part 15
compliant. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could voice the
authority of the user to operate the equipment.
Introduction
1.4.1.1 Class B Operation
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
