Silicon Labs SiWx917-RB4346A Co-Processor Radio Board
Silicon Labs SiWx917-RB4346A Co-Processor Radio Board is designed to work with the Si-EB8045x Adapter Expansion Board (not included) to support the development of wireless IoT devices in Network Co-Processor (NCP) and Radio Co-Processor (RCP) modes of operation. The Radio board is based on SiWN917 Wi-Fi 6 NCP reference design with an external switch, band pass filter, and on-chip antenna. It also has an option for a micro-coaxial connector for conducted RF measurements or an external antenna connection. For NCP mode, various examples are available for using SPI, UART, or SDIO for RTOS, offering the broadest possible choice of external host processors. Open-source Linux drivers are available for RCP mode.
With the Silicon Labs SiWx917-RB4346A, users can develop ultra low-power Wi-Fi® 6 and BLUETOOTH® LE 5.4, Matter wireless IoT solutions for external host processors. This radio board requires an adapter board (Si-EB8045A, Si-EB8045B, or Si-EB8045C) for power and connection to an external host processor.
