Microchip Technology WILCS02 Wi-Fi® Link Controller SD Board

Microchip Technology WILCS02 Wi-Fi® Link Controller SD Board is a Secure Digital (SD) card interface board that supports the 2.4GHz IEEE® 802.11 b/g/n standard. The board is designed to demonstrate the features and functionalities of Microchip’s low-power Wi-Fi WILCS02PE module. The WILCS02PE Wi-Fi network controller module is a fully RF and Wi-Fi Alliance™-certified wireless module based on the WILCS02IC single chip 2.4GHz and IEEE 802.11b/g/n-compliant IC.

Features

  • WILCS02PE low-power, 2.4GHz IEEE® 802.11 b/g/n RF/Baseband/MAC link controller module
  • SD/MMCplus card connector for controlling the WILCS02PE module by a host MPU board using the SDIO interface
  • Onboard USB-to-UART converter using MCP2221A for debug UART
  • Manual reset button to reset the WILCS02PE module
  • Separate current measurement headers for VDD and VDDIO supply rails
  • Power supply from a host MPU board through an SD/MMCplus connector or test the PC using a USB Type-C® cable or external power supply
  • Hardware-based 802.15.2 compliant 3-wire PTA interface to support Wi-Fi®/BLUETOOTH® co-existence using a shared antenna
  • Optional alternate SPI connection to MMCplus/SD card interface for controlling the WILCS02PE module
