2x2 Dual-Band (5-7 GHz), 1x1 (2.4 GHz) Concurrent Dual Wi-Fi 6/6E and Bluetooth Combo Solution
The IW693 is a highly integrated Wi-Fi 6/6E device enabling concurrent dual Wi-Fi (CDW) and Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy operation. IW693 supports four modes:
- Mode 1: CDW 2x2 Wi-Fi 6/6E 5-7 GHz (802.11ax) + 1x1 Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz (802.11ax)
- Mode 2: CDW 1x1 Wi-Fi 6/6E 5-7 GHz (802.11ax) + 1x1 Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz (802.11ax)
- Mode 3: 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz (802.11ax)
- Mode 4: 2x2 Wi-Fi 6/6E 5-7 GHz (802.11ax)
The System-on-chip (SoC) implements advanced features including MU-MIMO, OFDMA, target wake-up time (TWT), and Bluetooth LE Audio. With integrated 2.4 GHz and 5-7 GHz TX power amplifiers (PA), RX low noise amplifiers (LNA) and TX/RX switches (T/R SW) as well as a full Bluetooth radio, the IW693 simplifies design. External front-end module (FEM) with PA and LNA is also supported. The IW693 supports a flexible front-end design with either two or three antennas.
The IW693 implements advanced real-time Wi-Fi and Bluetooth arbitration hardware with software algorithms to optimize coexistence performance. NXP's Edgelock technology is integrated. The embedded security subsystem supports hardware crypto accelerated secure boot, key management firmware authentication, secure life cycle management and antirollback protection. The IW693 integrates dedicated CPUs and memories for both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth subsystems for real time, independent protocol processing. The interfaces to external host processors include PCIe and SDIO for Wi-Fi and UART for Bluetooth.
