General Description
The DA16600 series is a highly integrated ultra-low power Wi-Fi +BLE Combo Module solution. This
module includes the DA16200 which contains an 802.11b/g/n radio (PHY), a baseband processor, a
media access controller (MAC), on-chip memory, and a host networking application processor. It also
has a DA14531 which contains a 2.4 GHz transceiver and an Arm
®
Cortex-M0+
®
microcontroller with
a RAM of 48 kB and a One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory of 32 kB.
The radio transceiver, the baseband processor, and the qualified Bluetooth
®
low energy stack is fully
compliant with the Bluetooth
®
Low Energy 5.1 standard.
The DA16600 is a synthesis of breakthrough ultra-low power technologies, which enables extremely
low power operation in the module. The DA16200 and DA14531 shut down every micro element of
the chip that is not in use, which allows a near zero level of power consumption when not actively
transmitting or receiving data. Such low power operation can extend the battery life up to a year or
more depending on the application. The DA16600 also enables ultra-low power transmission and
reception modes when the SoC needs to be awake to exchange information with other devices.
Advanced algorithms enable sleep mode until the exact moment when wake up is required to
transmit or receive data.
