6 THE RTX4100 OVERVIEW

7 RTX4100 WI-FI MODULE KEY FEATURES Ultra Low Power Wi-Fi ( b/g/n) Designed for years of battery life Very fast sleep to wake-up, and visa versa NO external host required for user application All WiFi-related firmware included on Module No drivers needed (Host MCU on module) Framework, tools, and memory space for embedded user application UART, SPI, I²C interfaces FCC/IC & ETSI Certified Antenna on-board, with external antenna connector options Multiple sensor interfaces and ADC/DAC ports Tiny!(only 18mm x 30mm, including antenna)

8 RTX4100 WI-FI MODULE FLEXIBILITY THROUGH RICH I/O INTERFACE Pin Connections (30) 2 x Vdd( V) Dimensions: 30 x 18 mm Solder pad pitch: 2 mm 30-pin (castellation) on three edges 4 x Ground 2 x UART 2 x I2C 1 x SPI 8 x GPIO 2 x ADC (16 bit) 2 x DAC (12 bit) Debug and Development Ports

9 RTX41XX MODULES SELF-CONTAINED WI-FI MODULES FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS HIGHEST INTEGRATION SENSOR ARCHITECTURE Actual Wi-Fi Temperature Sensor: Battery + 3 components! Customer simply adds inexpensive carrier board for sensor HW and Battery

10 RTX4100 CO-LOCATED APPLICATION (CoLA)

11 ONBOARD CONTROLLER TRADITIONAL WI-FI MODULE Application (ie. Sensor) High-level Wi-Fi software needs to be integrated on host: IP stack, drivers, security etc Existing CPU must have free resources Long TTM 32-bit MCU host Wi-Fi IC Wi-Fi IC FE Application (ie. Sensor) RTX41XX WI-FI MODULES Existing MCU with Unmodified application 32-bit MCU host Expensive, power-hungry, effort Ultra-low-power, small, short TTM
