2x2 Single-band (5 GHz) Concurrent Dual Wi-Fi^® 6, 1x1 (2.4 GHz) Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth^® 5.3 Combo

The AW692 is a highly integrated Wi-Fi 6 device enabling concurrent dual Wi-Fi (CDW) and Bluetooth® 5.3 operation. AW692 supports four modes:

* Mode 1: CDW 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 5 GHz (802.11ax) + 1x1 Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz (802.11ax)

* Mode 2: CDW 1x1 Wi-Fi 6 5 GHz (802.11ax) + 1x1 Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz (802.11ax)

* Mode 3: 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz (802.11ax)

* Mode 4: 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 5 GHz (802.11ax)

The System-on-Chip (SoC) implements advanced features including multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO), orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), Target Wake Time (TWT) and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio. The AW692 integrates 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz TX power amplifiers (PA), RX low-noise amplifiers (LNA) and Tx/Rx switches (T/R SW). It also includes a full Bluetooth radio, simplifying design. This solution also supports three-antenna design and an external front-end module (FEM).

The AW692 supports a flexible front-end design with either two or three antennas.

The AW692 implements advanced real-time Wi-Fi and Bluetooth arbitration hardware in conjunction with software algorithms to optimize coexistence performance. NXP's EdgeLock® technology is integrated. The embedded Edgelock secure subsystem (ELS) supports hardware crypto accelerated secure boot, key management, firmware authentication, secure lifecycle management, and anti-rollback protection.

The AW692 integrates dedicated CPUs and memories for both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth subsystems for real-time, independent protocol processing. The interfaces to external host processors include peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) for Wi-Fi and universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) for Bluetooth.

The AW692 is available in high-volume quad flat no-lead, 148 pins (HVQFN148) package, and complies with AEC-Q100 Grade 2.
