Dual-mode Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 module offers high data rates and low power

Mouser now stocks the PAN9026A Series dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 radio module from Panasonic. The module combines 2.4/5GHz IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n support with Bluetooth BDR/EDR/LE functionality for flexible connectivity options in smart energy, home gateways, and IoT applications. The module features DRCS for simultaneous operation in 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The independent operation of the two standards allows high data rates up to 150Mbits per second to meet IEEE 802.11n specifications plus low power consumption of 400mA (transmit) and 70 mA (receive). With integrated power management, a fast dual-core CPU, 802.11i security standard support, and high-speed data interfaces, the device offers the speed, reliability, and quality demands of next-generation products. The module comprises pre-stored transmit power calibration data and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth system parameters on the one-time-programmable memory to simplify certification processes. Also available is the comprehensive PAN9026 Evaluation Kit and PAN9026 SDIO adapter which allows engineers to rapidly prototype designs.
