The Qorvo QPF4750 is an extreme wideband medium power front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) systems. This FEM implements extreme wideband amplfier technology to create an easier to use and extremely compact solution for Wi-Fi applications where operating on any channel within U-NII1-8’s 2GHz of bandwidth is deisred. The small form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout ...

Teledatics is planning a 1W (30dBm) Wi-Fi HaLow wireless interface module, according to fabless chip company Newracom, which is supplying the key IC, an NRC7394. The module, to be called TD-Halom, will measure 18 x 13.5mm and 2.4mm high, and operate over 902 – 928MHz, which is only applicable to the Americas (ITU region 2). 30dB is the maximum power ...

Ceva has introduced a multi-radio intellectual property package for IoT IC designers that combines Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and 802.15.4 modems with a 2.4GHz transceiver aimed at TSMC’s 22nm process. Called Links100 (diagram right), it is the first of a series of IP products (diagram below) that will also include transceivers for Wi-Fi 7 with MLO (multi-link operation), and UWB ...

Arduino has introduced a Nano shaped board with a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE capable Espressif’s ESP32-S3 microcontroller, supporting it with the Arduino IDE and MicroPython. “Beginners can explore in an easy-to-understand, welcoming environment, with a popular MCU supported by documentation and a global community of users,” said Arduino. “At the same time, more advanced users can take advantage of the ...

Nordic Semiconductor has taken 5GHz radios out of its recent nRF7002 Wi-Fi 6 companion IC, to create the 2.4GHz-only nRF7001. “nRF7001 lowers the cost of the bill-of-materials for designs requiring single band capability for smart home, smart city, industrial automation and other low power Wi-Fi IoT applications”, it said. It “offers all the Wi-Fi functionality of the nRF7002, including compliance ...

Espressif has used RISC-V cores in its latest ESP32 wireless microcontrollers: ESP32-C6 – ICs, modules and SDK imminent Dual RISC-V cores (160MHz + 20MHz), Wi-Fi 6 (2.4GHz), Bluetooth 5 (LE), 802.15.4 protocol ESP32-P4 – just announced Triple RISC-V (400MHz + 400MHz + 40MHz), AI instructions, no wireless ESP32-C6 ESP32-C6 has a 160MHz RISC-V core for performance and 20MHz RISC-V processor ...

Texas Instruments has introduced Matter-enabled software development kits for  its Wi-Fi and Thread wireless microcontrollers. “Engineers can use the software and wireless MCUs, such as the CC3235SF and CC2652R7, to create low-power secure battery-powered smart home and industrial automation IoT applications that connect with devices across proprietary ecosystems,” according to the company. Matter is a royalty-free connectivity protocol developed by ...

Nordic Semiconductor supports the 1.0 version of Matter over Thread with the latest issue (2.1.0) of its nRF Connect software development kit (SDK). “This support is related to the Connectivity Standard Alliance’s formal adoption of Matter specification version 1.0,” according to the company. “This support allows developers to get started immediately on Matter over Thread development using Nordic’s nRF52840 and ...

In a flurry of announcements alongside its developer converence, Silicon Labs has revealed a chip set for metropolitan Wi-Sun radio, a low-power IC for battery-powered Wi-Fi 6 links and a hardware-software development kit for Amazon Sidewalk. Wi-Sun For Wi-Sun (which is wireless smart utility network), and proprietary sub-GHz protocols, in cities and other built-up environments, it announced an RF microcontroller ...
