MCHPATWINC1500-XPRO
Overview
The ATWINC1500-XPRO is an evaluation and development board for the ATWINC1500 IEEE 802.11 b/g/n IoT network controller. It provides a complete Wi-Fi solution that offloads the entire network stack from the host microcontroller to an integrated on-chip engine. This board is designed to plug directly into Microchip Xplained Pro evaluation kits to enable rapid prototyping of wireless cloud connectivity.
Why Choose This Part
The board features the ATWINC1500 module which includes 4096 KB of flash memory and an integrated Power Amplifier and T/R switch. By offloading the network stack and memory management to the on-chip engine, it minimizes the code footprint and processing overhead required on the host MCU.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect the ATWINC1500-XPRO to an Xplained Pro compatible MCU board such as the ATSAMD21-XPRO. Use Microchip Harmony or the Atmel Software Framework (ASF) to access driver libraries and example projects for Wi-Fi provisioning and TCP/IP communication. The board is primarily controlled via the SPI interface for high-throughput data transfer.
