Wireless combo SoC integrates dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi 5 with Bluetooth 5.2 in a single chip. The Wi-Fi subsystem supports IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 1x1 operation with data rates up to MCS9 at 433 Mbit/s and 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz channel bandwidths. Host connectivity is provided through SDIO 3.0 for Wi-Fi and high-speed UART or SDIO 3.0 options for Bluetooth. Package options include a 68-pin 8 mm by 8 mm QFN with wettable flanks and an 83-bump 4.6 mm by 4.2 mm eWLP. Extended and industrial operating temperature grades support -30 °C to 85 °C and -40 °C to 85 °C operation.
