It is the ideal add-On to existing MCU solutions bringing WiFi and Network capabilities through UART or SPI-to-WiFi interface. The WINC1500 connects to any Atmel AVR or SMART MCU with minimal resource requirements. The WINC1500 most advanced mode is a single stream 1x1 802.11n mode providing up to 72 Mbps PHY throughput. WINC1500 features fully integrated Power Amplifier, LNA, Switch and Power Management. The WINC1500 provides internal Flash memory as well as multiple peripheral interfaces including UART, SPI, and I2C. The only external clock source needed for the WINC1500 is a high-speed crystal or oscillator with a wide variety of reference clock frequencies supported (between 12 - 32 MHz). The WINC1500 is available in a QFN package. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
