Introduction 
BK7252 is a 2.4 GHz 802.11n and BLE 
4.2 comb chip with audio peripheral 
and image sensor interface. It 
integrates hardware and software 
component to finish a complete 
802.11b/g/n audio and video 
application, which supports AP and 
STA role simultaneously, and 
integrates Bluetooth low energy 
transceiver and version 5.0 complaint 
protocol stack. The high speed 32-bit 
MCU and large embedded RAM make 
it able to support multiple cloud links 
external audio CODEC.  
 
 BK7252 has 8-bit DVP to get image 
data from CMOS sensor, which can be 
encoded by internal VGA grade motion 
JPEG codec. The integrated QSPI 
interface supports FLASH and RAM 
extension at the same time. 
 
BK7252 provides transmit active and 
receive active indicators through two 
independent ports, to support external 
PA and external LNA.  
and also suitable for audio and image 
 
application。 
 
BK7252 has flexible peripheral such as 
PWM, I2S, I2C, UART, SPI, SDIO, USB 
and IrDA. Up to six channel 32-bit 
PWM outputs make it suitable for 
precise LED control. 
 
BK7252 has two channel high 
performance audio DAC and one 
channel audio ADC together with line 
in interface. 
 
BK7252 has I2S interface, which can 
work as either master or slave. The 
sample rate could be from 8 kHz to 48 
kHz, and MCLK could be provided to 
BK7252 has 32 bytes eFUSE for unique 
ID, code encryption and debug 
interface disable. The true random 
number generator and hardware 
AES/RSA/SHA support fast and security 
communication.  
 
BK7252 could work with either 4.2 V 
battery or 5 V USB power supply.   
 
There is a deep sleep mode with a few 
micro-amp current, and could be wake 
up by either GPIO activation or 32-bit 
RTC time.
