1453- SPB209A Rev E

1 Overview

SPB209A is a complete WLAN/BT/NFC module with EMC shield, dual band antenna (WiFi and BT), prepared

for application specific NFC antenna and ready for quick validation in a hosted environment. SPB209A-EVK

has been used as an example in this User Manual. SPB209A-EVK features the SPB209A module mounted on

a ready to run SD-card or SMD module for quick product turn-around or SPB209A evaluation. It provides an

ultra-low power, high performance and feature rich client solution. It provides up to 433 Mbit/s data rate

when operating in the OFDM mode and up to 11 Mbit/s data rate when operating in the DSSS/CCK mode.

SPB209A integrates RF, baseband/MAC, Bluetooth Package Engine, NFC, memory, RF filters, oscillator,

antenna or SMA connector and EMC shield into a highly integrated and optimized module solution with

high quality and reliability to a complete standalone solution with no need for external components.

This highly integrated solution is optimized for customer applications running on a Linux host platform.

The host interface supports SDIO 3.0, High Speed UART and I2C. Internal RAM comprises both code and

data memory eliminating the need for external RAM, Flash or ROM memory interfaces. MAC address,

trimming values etc. are stored in the on board memory.
