ATWILC1000-MR110UB Microchip

ATWILC1000-MR110xB IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Link Controller Module Introduction The ATWILC1000-MR110xB module is a low-power consumption IEEE 802.11 b/g/n IoT (Internet of Things) module, which is specifically optimized for low-power IoT applications. The ATWILC1000-MR110xB modules feature small form factor (21.7 mm x 14.7 mm x 2.1 mm) while fully integrating Power Amplifier (PA), Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), Transmit/Receive (T/R), switch and power management. The ATWILC1000-MR110PB includes a PCB antenna, whereas the ATWILC1000-MR110UB module includes a U.FL connector to use with an external antenna. With advanced security, it is interoperable with various vendors using IEEE 802.11b/g/n Access Points in wireless LAN. The module provides Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and Secure Digital Input Output (SDIO) to interface with the host controller.
