2.4/5 GHz Dual-Band 1x1 Wi-Fi® 4 (802.11n) + Bluetooth® 5.2 Solution
2.4/5 GHz Dual-Band 1x1 Wi-Fi® 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth® 5.4 + 802.15.4 Tri-Radio Solution
The IW612 is a highly integrated 2.4/5 GHz dual-band 1x1 Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth®/Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) 5.4 and 802.15.4 tri-radio single-chip solution optimized for a broad array of IoT and industrial applications including:
- Smart home
- Smart devices and accessories
- Smart appliances
- Smart energy
- Industrial automation
- Gateways
This enhanced integration yields substantially low system costs and a minimum external bill of materials (BOM) while promoting efficient coexistence between all internal radios as well as external radios, such as LTE.
IW612 includes a full-feature Wi-Fi subsystem powered by NXP’s 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) technology bringing higher throughput, better network efficiency, lower latency and improved range upon the standards of previous generations of Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi subsystem integrates a Wi-Fi media access control (MAC), baseband and direct-conversion radio with integrated power amplifier (PA), low-noise amplifier (LNA) and transmit/receive switch removing the need for an radio frequency (RF) front-end module (FEMs) saving cost and reducing system complexity.
In addition to a Wi-Fi 6 radio, the IW612 integrates an independent Bluetooth 5.4 and 802.15.4 subsystem that supports Thread, Zigbee and Dual personal area network (PAN) mesh networks. The device features Bluetooth Profiles such as hands free (HFP), advanced audio distribution profile (A2DP) for audio streaming as well as additional profiles like dual wideband speech (WBS). As for Bluetooth LE, the IW612 enables 2 Mbit/s high-speed data rate, long range and extended advertising. Finally, LE Audio is supported using Isochronous channels for a better overall audio experience.
The IW612 integrates dedicated CPUs and memories for both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/802.15.4 subsystems, which enable real time, independent protocol processing. Interfaces for connecting the IW612 to external host processors include secure digital input output (SDIO) 3.0 for Wi-Fi, universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) for Bluetooth and serial peripheral interface (SPI) for 802.15.4.
Wireless modules based on the NXP IW612 are offered by leading module manufacturers.
