WCN3620 device introduction
The WCN3620 IC integrates three different wireless connectivity technologies into a single device suitable for handsets and other mobile devices:
◾ Wireless local area network (WLAN) compliant with the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n specification
◾ Bluetooth (BT) compliant with the BT specification version 4.0 (BR/EDR+BLE)
◾ Worldwide FM radio, with Rx modes supporting the Radio Data System (RDS) for Europe and the Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS) for the USA
New features introduced into the WCN3620 IC
◾ 65 nm RF CMOS technology in the small 61 WLNSP
◾ Highly integrated front-end eliminates external PA and LNA matching, and antenna Tx/Rx switching.
◾ Support for ANT
◾ Support for the IEEE802.11b/g/n standard
◾ Single-band WLAN: 2.4 GHz RF transceivers
◾ Compliant with BT specification version 4.0
◾ Concurrent WLAN + BT reception in the 2.4 GHz band
◾ Lower power consumption
◾ Smaller IC footprint, lower parts count, and less PCB area overall
