It can be easily manufactured on SMT process and highly suitable for tablet PC, ultra book, mobile device and consumer product. It provides GSPI/SDIO interface for WiFi to connect with host processor and high speed UART interface for BT. It also has a PCM interface for audio data transmission with direct link to extemal audio codec via BT controller. The WiFi throughput ‘can go up to 150Mbps in theory by using 1x1 802.11n b/gin MIMO technology and Bluetooth can support BT2.1*EDR/BT3.0 and BT4.0. RF-SMO02 uses Realtek RTL8723AS, a highly integrated WiFi/BT single chip based on advanced COMS process. RTL8723AS almost integrates whole WIFI/BT function blocks into a chip, such as SDIO/UART, MAC, BB, AFE, RFE, PA, EEPROM and LDO/SWR, except fewer passive components remained on PCB PRODUCT FEATURES © Operate at ISM frequency bands (2.4GHz) O GSPI/SDIO for WiFi and UART for Bluetooth © IEEE standards support: IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.119, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.114, IEEE 802.110, IEEE 802.11h, IEEE 802.111 © Fully Qualified Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR specification including both 2Mbps and 3Mbps modulation mode © Fully qualified Bluetooth 3.0 © Fully qualified Bluetooth 4.0 Dual mode © Full-speed Bluetooth operation with Piconet and Scattemnet support.
