AP6234  Datasheet 
1. Introduction 
AMPAK Technology would like to announce a low-cost and low-power consumption module, 
with  integrated  dual  band  (2.4GHz/5GHz)  IEEE  802.11  a/b/g  and  single-stream  IEEE 
802.11n MAC/baseband/radio and Bluetooth 4.0. 
 
The integrated module provides SDIO V2.0 Host interface for Wi-Fi, high-speed UART is 
provided for the Bluetooth Host interface.   
This compact module is a total solution for a combination of Wi-Fi dual mode + BT4.0 
technologies. The module is specifically developed for mobiles, tablets or handheld wireless 
system devices.
