Microchip Technology WINCS02 Wi-Fi® Network Controller ICs/Modules

Microchip Technology WINCS02 Wi-Fi® Network Controller Modules are fully integrated modules based on the WINCS02IC low-power IC containing a 2.4GHz IEEE® 802.11b/g/n-compliant radio. The WINCS02IC features an integrated High-Power Amplifier (HPA), Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA), Radio Frequency (RF) switches for TX/RX control, and a hardware-based security accelerator. The WINCS02IC is designed to execute Microchip-provided Wi-Fi and Networking stack components accessible through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The WINCS02IC and WINCS02 modules operate at a single supply voltage VDD, VDDIO (3.3V typical).

The WINCS02 module contains all necessary external components and antennae to simplify board designs. The module is interoperable with various vendors' 802.11 b/g/n access points and has a compact 21.7mm x 17.3mm x 2.1mm form factor. The Microchip Technologies WINCS02 module is available with an onboard Printed Circuit Board (PCB) antenna or U.FL connector for an external antenna and with or without an integrated Microchip Trust&Go CryptoAuthentication™ device.
