Overview

The CC3235MODASF12MONR is a dual-band Wi-Fi module that integrates an Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller, a dedicated network processor, and a crypto-engine into a single package. This module includes an integrated PCB trace antenna and is designed to provide robust 2.4GHz and 5GHz connectivity for secure IoT applications. It features 256KB of RAM and 1024KB of Flash, along with a suite of hardware-based security features including FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validation.

Why Choose This Part

This module simplifies RF design by integrating the antenna and DC/DC regulators, while the dual-band capability (2.4GHz and 5GHz) provides flexibility in interference-prone environments. The hardware-based security features, including secure boot and certificate handling, reduce the computational load on the primary Cortex-M4 core.

Applications

Industrial IoT Gateways
Utilizes dual-band Wi-Fi to avoid congestion in crowded industrial environments while maintaining secure cloud connections.
Smart Home Appliances
Integrated MCU and networking stack allow for controlling motors and sensors while managing complex TCP/IP communication.
Secure Asset Tracking
Leverages FIPS-validated hardware security and low-power modes like Hibernate (1uA) for long-term battery operation.
