The SX-SDMAX from Silex Technology is a Dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth v5.3 Combo Module. It delivers a PHY data rate of up to 600 Mbps (at 5GHz/80MHz/MSC11) in Wi-Fi mode. This module is based on NXP’s highly integrated IW611 chipset and supports MU-MIMO and OFDMA that improves stability in dense networks and delivers data reliably with low latency even in congested radio wave environments. It requires a DC supply of 1.8/3.3 V, and consumes less than 260 mA of current in Tx mode and 150 mA of current in Rx mode. This module implements Target Wake Time which increases the sleep time of the module and improves battery life. It supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi standards.
The SX-SDMAX supports up to 1024 QAM modulation schemes and includes a multiple BSS feature. It incorporates a mechanism for avoiding collisions between packets and for efficiently avoiding radio wave interference for efficient communication. This module can be controlled via SDIO 3.0 (Wi-Fi) and UART (Bluetooth) interfaces. It is available in a 44-pin LGA package that measures 17.00 x 18.00 x 2.65 mm with an MHF connector for the antenna and is ideal for battery-operated medical devices, mobile printers, handheld POS and terminals, barcode scanners, and IoT applications.
