A module combining Dialog’s Wi-Fi and BLE capabilities puts together  the DA16200 WiFi IC and the SmartBond TINY DA14531 BLE chip.

The DA16200 was  built for battery-powered IoT applications, including connected door locks, thermostats, security cameras and other devices that require an “always on” Wi-Fi connection, but may be only used sporadically.

This combo Wi-Fi and BLE module offers a reliable firmware solution with the combination of the two complex protocol stacks, eliminating the issues often caused by the co-existence of two radios at 2.4 GHZ in the same design.

BLE provides ease of configurability for Wi-Fi in the application, greatly simplifying the task for the design engineer.

Given its optimized design, all that is required to incorporate the module into an embedded IoT product is a simple set of guidelines provided by Dialog.

Finally, the customer has the additional advantage of no longer having to source two independent SoCs for their application.

The module is certified for worldwide operation, including certifications for FCC, IC, CE, Telec, Korea and SRRC. It is also Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for interoperability.

Evaluation boards and a complete software development kit (SDK) are available for the DA16600 module via DigiKey. The SDK includes sample applications, provisioning apps, AT command library, power management tools and more.
