2x2 Dual-Band (5-7 GHz), 1x1 (2.4 GHz) Concurrent Dual Wi-Fi 6/6E and Bluetooth 5.3 Combo Solution

AW693

The AW693 is a highly integrated Wi-Fi 6/6E device enabling concurrent dual Wi-Fi (CDW) and Bluetooth 5.3 operation. AW693 supports four modes:

  • Mode 1: CDW 2x2 Wi-Fi 6/6E 5-7 GHz (802.11ax) + 1x1 Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz (802.11ax)
  • Mode 2: CDW 1x1 Wi-Fi 6/6E 5-7 GHz (802.11ax) + 1x1 Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz (802.11ax)
  • Mode 3: 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz (802.11ax)
  • Mode 4: 2x2 Wi-Fi 6/6E 5-7 GHz (802.11ax)

The system-on-chip (SoC) implements advanced features including MU-MIMO, OFDMA, target wake time (TWT), and Bluetooth LE Audio. With integrated 2.4 GHz and 5-7 GHz TX power amplifiers (PA), RX low noise amplifiers (LNA) and Tx/Rx switches (T/R SW) as well as a full Bluetooth radio, the AW693 simplifies design. A three-antenna design is also supported. External front-end module (FEM) with PA and LNA is also supported.

The AW693 supports a flexible front-end design with either three or two antennas. The AW693 implements advanced real-time Wi-Fi and Bluetooth arbitration hardware in conjunction with software algorithms to optimize coexistence performance.

NXP’s Edgelock technology is integrated. The embedded Edgelock® secure subsystem (ELS) supports hardware crypto accelerated secure boot, key management, firmware authentication, secure life cycle management and anti-rollback protection.

The AW693 integrates dedicated CPUs and memories for both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth subsystems for realtime, independent protocol processing. The interfaces to external host processors include PCIe for Wi-Fi and UART for Bluetooth. The AW693 is available in HVQFN148 and WLCSP packages and is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 compliant.

Wireless modules based on the NXP AW693 are offered by leading module manufacturers.
