Which Zigbee chip should i choose?
CC2652P
CC2652P (48Mhz, 88Kb RAM) is the Top 1 on our list. Reliability has been tested over the years and by many users. CC2652* chips are fully supported in Zigbee2MQTT (EFR32 has an experimental support status), and are also fully supported in ZHA. That is, it is a universal coordinator for both ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT. Zigbee firmware supports up to 200 end devices. Even with the maximum number of Zigbee devices, the chip parameters (processor 48Mhz and 88Kb RAM) are not even close to the maximum, so there is no difference in speed compared to other chips in the series (CC2652P7: 48Mhz+152Kb RAM, CC2674P10: 48Mhz+264Kb RAM). So, CC2652P is #1.
CC2652P7
The CC2652P7 (48Mhz + 152 Kb RAM) has the same processor (48Mhz) as the CC2652P chips, but a slightly larger amount of RAM 152Kb (CC2652P: 88Kb). At the same time, neither the processor nor the memory is used even by 30% when the chip is operating in coordinator mode with the maximum possible number of connected end devices. Therefore, this chip is more of a marketing ploy. Our recommendation is to pay attention to CC2652P. It is cheaper, more reliable (because it has been tested by a large number of users), and supports +20dB of gain at the firmware level. That is, If you like marketing gimmicks, the CC2652P7 is your choice.The CC2652P7 chip is ranked #2 in our rating.
CC2674P10
The CC2674P7 (48Mhz + 264Kb RAM) has the same processor (48Mhz) as the CC2652P and CC2652P7 chips, but a slightly larger amount of RAM 264Kb (CC2652P: 88Kb, CC2652P: 152Kb,). At the same time, neither the processor nor the memory is used even by 30% when the chip is operating in coordinator mode with the maximum possible number of connected end devices. Therefore, this chip is more of a marketing ploy. In addition, the firmware for this chip is in test mode. As of February 2024, we recommend that you buy these coordinators at your own risk, or if you are a firmware developer and you need a test device on this chip. Our recommendation is to pay attention to the CC2652P. It is cheaper, more reliable (as it has been tested by a large number of users), and supports +20 dB of gain at the firmware level.That is, if you like marketing gimmicks, CC2674P10 is your choice.The CC2674P10 chip takes the 4th place in our rating.
