SX-ULPGN IoT Modules

 

What is it?

SX-ULPGN is a low power, cost effective 802.11b/g/n Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform based on the Qualcomm QCA4010 System-on-Chip (SoC). SX-ULPGN is a feature-rich intelligent Wi-Fi solution for IoT that integrates a full Wi-Fi stack, full networking/security stack, and embedded CPU and memory for on-chip application development. It includes an integrated RF front end and an internal PCB antenna.

 

What problem does it solve?

Enables low cost, low power easy to implement connectivity via a UART interface in hosted mode. Provides additional value by reducing cost and system power by enabling customers to run their application directly on the module (hostless mode).

 

What are the features and benefits?

• Single stream (1x1) IEEE 802.11b/g/n conformity (2.4 GHz)
• Data rate up to 72.2 Mbps MCS7 HT20
• Tensilica Xtensa^® 7 130 MHz CPU
• Up to 800 Kbytes of RAM available for application code
• Network and security: TCP/IP, IPv4/IPv6, HTTP, SSL/TLS
• UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, PWM, ADC, JTAG, and GPIO interfaces
• Internal 1.2V and 1.8V regulator and power management unit
• IEEE sleep, fast wake-up, low power Rx listen
• Embedded ThreadX^® Real-Time-Operating-System (RTOS)

 

What are the focus applications/markets?

• Factory automation
• Appliances
• Sensors
• Products used for security, remote control and remote sensing
• Smart home
