1. Introduction
1.1 Description
This is a complete WiFi MCU module which is designed for embedded wireless solution and a
cost-effective, low power capabilities high performance MCU in M2M applications. It includes
standards-based wired and wireless technologies to enable IP infrastructures for smart grid, smart
home, security, building automation, toys, robots, remote health and wellness monitoring and other
M2M applications.
The module integrates ARM CortexTM-M3 MCU, clock, WIFi and front end into a smallest form
factor LGA package. It is based on Broadcom IEEE802.11 b/g/n antenna diversity single-stream
Broadcom align technology. Thus, it can be used to enable wireless connectivity to the simplest
existing sensor products with minimal engineering effort.
The solution is provided as a module to reduce development time, lower manufacturing costs, save
board space, ease certification, and minimize RF expertise required. Additionally it is provided as a
complete platform solution including software drivers, sample applications, API guide, user
documentation and a world-class support community.
The Specification maybe changed.
