Sensor Controller

The Sensor Controller Engine (SCE) is an autonomous processor within the CC13x0. The SCE can control the peripherals in the sensor controller independently of the main CPU. Thus, the main CPU does not have to wake up to execute an ADC sample or poll a digital sensor over SPI, and saves both current and wake-up time that would otherwise be wasted. A PC tool enables the user to configure the sensor controller and choose what peripherals are controlled and what conditions will wake up the main CPU.

The Sensor Controller Studio (SCS) is a stand-alone IDE used to develop and compile microcode for execution on the SCE. Refer to the SCS webpage (https://www.ti.com/tool/sensor-controller-studio) for more details on the SCS, including documentation embedded within the SCS IDE.
