Atmel ATWINC1500
Single Chip IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Network Controller SOC
with Integrated Flash Memory
PRELIMINARY DATASHEET
Description
The Atmel^® WINC1500 is a single chip IEEE^® 802.11 b/g/n RF, IoT (Internet of
Things) Network Controller SoC. The WINC1500 most advanced mode is a single
stream 1x1 802.11n mode providing up to 72Mbps PHY throughput. The
WINC1500 features fully integrated Power Amplifier, LNA, Switch and Power
Management. Implemented in 65nm CMOS technology, the WINC1500 offers
very low power consumption while simultaneously providing high performance
and optimized bill of material.
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 and connects to any AVR or SMART MCU with
minimal resources.
