Panasonic has released a new 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n embedded Wi Fi® module, the PAN9520, which provides all the security features required for compliance with the WPA2 and WPA3-Personal Wi-Fi security standards.
The PAN9520 is based on the Espressif ESP32-S2 microcontroller, which includes a high-performance 32-bit Xtensa® LX7 CPU, a high-sensitivity wireless radio, a baseband processor, bootloader and 320 kbytes of SRAM. An encryption unit supports a range of security and encryption protocols, including CCMP, TKIP, WAPI, WEP, BIP, and AES.
A fully integrated, surface-mount module including a chip antenna, the PAN9520 can be implemented quickly and easily into end-product designs with or without a host controller. A built-in 40 MHz crystal oscillator ensures connection performance is maintained over the module’s full operating-temperature range and lifetime. Although the PAN9520 is one of the smallest modules on the market, it also offers a wide range of peripherals including Full-Speed USB OTG, UART, I2C, and serial peripheral interfaces.
The PAN9520 is available in two versions: one has 2 Mbytes of RAM and 4 Mbytes of Flash; the other has no RAM and 1 Mbyte of Flash.
The PAN9520 supports access-point mode and station mode in parallel, allowing simultaneous Wi-Fi connections to smart devices and home network routers.
Using the Espressif IoT Integrated Development Framework (ESP-IDF), engineers can develop software for a wide range of applications, and access numerous software examples which can be used to speed up development.
Board Part Number: ENW49D01AZKF
The PAN9520 Arduino Evaluation Board includes an Arduino header to allow for the addition of compatible shield boards.
