Microchip's SmartConnect-WINC1500 is an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n IoT network controller SoC. It is the ideal add-on to existing MCU solutions bringing Wi-Fi and Network capabilities through UART or SPI-to-Wi-Fi interface. The WINC1500 connects to any AVR, SMART MCU with minimal resource requirements. The WINC1500's most advanced mode is a single stream 1x1 802.11n mode providing up to 72 Mbps PHY throughput. The WINC1500 features a fully integrated Power Amplifier, LNA, Switch and Power Management. The WINC1500 provides internal Flash memory as well as multiple peripheral interfaces including UART and SPI. The only external clock source needed for the WINC1500 is a high-speed crystal or oscillator (26 MHz). The WINC1500 is available in a QFN package or as a certified module.
