RF-star low power consumption 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz CC3235 dual-band wifi module
RF-WM-3235A1 is an RF module based on TI lower-power SoC CC3235SF with built-in dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. It integrates a 40 MHz crystal, 32.768 kHz RTC clock, RF filters, diplexer, and two physical separated on-chip MCUs: Arm? Cortex?-M4 MCU with a user-dedicated 256 KB of RAM, an embedded 1 MB Flash and an external plug-in 4 MB Flash, network processor for running Wi-Fi and Internet logical layers. It features 802.11 a/b/g/n: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz support, 2.4 GHz Coexistence with Bluetooth low energy radio, improved fast scan, hostless mode for offloading template packet transmissions and application features of small size, robust connection distance, and rigid reliability.
