RS9113 Ultra-low-power Wi-Fi NCP Modules

RS9113 Wi-Fi NCP Modules

The RS9113 FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certified Wi-Fi modules is based on Silicon Labs' RS9113 ultra-low-power Convergence SoC. These Wi-Fi modules offer dual-band 1x1 802.11n. They are high performance, long-range and ultra-low-power Wi-Fi modules and include a multi-threaded MAC processor called ThreadArch®, digital and analog peripheral interfaces, baseband digital signal processor, calibration OTP memory, dual-band RF transceiver, dual-band high-power amplifiers, baluns, diplexers, diversity switch and Quad-SPI flash.

The module's embedded firmware includes the WLAN protocol stack along with WPA/WPA2-PSK and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP) and a feature-rich TCP/IP stack thus providing a fully-integrated solution for secure embedded low-end wireless applications. These Wi-Fi modules can be connected to 8/16/32-bit host processors through SPI, UART, USB and USB-CDC interfaces.

The modules are available in a small footprint form factor with low BoM requirements.
