1 System Descriptions
1.1 Applications
SN8200 is a complete low power self-contained embedded wireless solution to address the
connectivity demand in M2M applications. It integrates micro-controller, Wi-Fi BB/MAC/RF IC,
RF front end, clocks, and on-board antenna into a small form factor module. SN8200 can be
controlled by a host device through a serial interface; it can also serve as a standalone Wi-Fi
station or network controller. Thus, it can be used to enable wireless connectivity to the simplest
products with minimal engineering resources.
The SN8200 provides standard IEEE802.11 b/g/n functions. The integrated MCU supports
Broadcom WICED™ software. It can be used for a variety of different applications, such as
wireless sensor node, serial to Wi-Fi transceiver, Wi-Fi network controller, Wi-Fi gateway/bridges
plus internet server.
When used in a system where the SN8200 is controlled by a host CPU, the serial host interface
makes it very easy to integrate. When used in a system without a host CPU, the integrated ARM
Cortex-M3 can be used to run a variety of applications.
The SN8200 Wi-Fi module can be used for Wi-Fi gateway if combined with other radio module.
For example, one can design a Zigbee Wi-Fi gateway by combine SN8200 with SyChip SN3020
Zigbee module. SyChip provides a reference design to enable the OEM customer. This gateway
design can be used for low cost and low power consumption applications like Home Area
Networks.
