General Description
BDE-BW3301XX is a 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy Combo wireless module based on TI’s 10th generation connectivity companion chip CC3301 which is based upon proven technology and complements the TI integrated devices for connectivity portfolio. This module is ideal for use in cost sensitive embedded applications with a Linux or RTOS host running TCP/IP, where the peak throughput requirement is 50 Mbps maximum at the IP layer. BDE-BW330XX could be the best choice for bringing the efficiency of Wi-Fi 6 to embedded device applications with a small PCB footprint and highly optimized bill of materials with lower cost.
In order to fulfil different integration requirements, BDE provides different options including:
BDE-BW3301N1, single antenna port without antenna;
BDE-BW3301U1, single antenna port with U.FL connector;
BDE-BW3301A1, single antenna with integrated PCB trace antenna.
