WBR3 Datasheet
Tuya WBR3 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Global Intelligent Platform
1. Product Overview
WBR3 is a low-power embedded Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module that Tuya has developed. It
consists of a highly integrated RF chip (RTL8720CF) with an embedded Wi-Fi network
protocol stack and robust library functions. WBR3 also contains a low-power KM4
multipoint control unit (MCU), WLAN MAC, 1T1R WLAN, 256 KB static random-access
memory (SRAM), and 2 MB flash memory, and has extensive peripherals.
WBR3 is an RTOS platform that integrates all function libraries of the Wi-Fi MAC and
TCP/IP protocols. You can develop embedded Wi-Fi products as required.
Figure 1-1 shows the WBR3 architecture.
