Microchip's ATWINC1500 is an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n IoT network controller that has networking stack built on the chip. It is the ideal add-on to existing MCU solutions bringing Wi-Fi and Network capabilities through SPI-to-Wi-Fi interface. It connects to any SAM or PIC MCU with minimal resource requirements.
The ATWINC1500's most advanced mode is a single stream 1x1 802.11n mode. Its networking stack consists of HTTP, TCP, IP and Ethernet Protocols corresponding to Application, Transport, Internet and Data Link Layers.
The ATWINC1500 features:
A fully integrated power amplifier, LNA, switch and power management.
Internal Flash memory to store firmware
And only requires a high-speed crystal or oscillator (26 MHz) as a clock source
The ATWINC1500 is available in a QFN package or as a certified module.
Expanding on the ATWINC1500 with 4 MB flash, the ATWINC1510 adds 8 MB flash memory for even greater flexibility and the ability to store Host MCU files.
A MCU host driver can be found in the Advanced Software Framework (ASF) and in MPLAB® Harmony v3. Get step-by-step instructions for configuring the WINC1500 using MPLAB Harmony 3.
