MCHPAC164158
Overview
The AC164158 is an evaluation board designed for the ATWILC3000 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy (BLE) module. It features a standard SD card form factor, allowing engineers to easily add wireless connectivity to microcontrollers and microprocessors equipped with an SDIO slot. The board includes a chip antenna and provides a streamlined path for evaluating 802.11 b/g/n and BLE 5.x functionality.
Why Choose This Part
The SD card form factor allows for plug-and-play integration with common evaluation kits without requiring custom PCB spins. It integrates both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on a single module, reducing power consumption and board space compared to discrete solutions. The board supports operating temperatures from -40C to +85C, making it suitable for industrial environmental testing.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug the board into a host MCU or MPU evaluation kit with an SDIO-capable SD card slot. For Microchip host platforms, utilize the Harmony 3 Framework to configure the ATWILC3000 drivers and wireless stacks. Ensure the host system provides a 3.3V supply to meet the VDD requirements of the module.
