RA6W1 Embedded Dual-Band Wi-Fi® 6 MCU

Renesas MCUs provide ultra-low power in a fully integrated Wi-Fi 6 MCU system on chip (SoC)

Image of Renesas RA6W1 Embedded Dual-Band Wi-Fi® 6 MCUThe Renesas RA6W1 SoC offers a cutting-edge Wi-Fi solution, empowering next-generation IoT devices with dual-band Wi-Fi 6.

The RA6W1 seamlessly integrates dual-band Wi-Fi 6 functionalities, ensuring robust and reliable connectivity. With Wi-Fi 6 dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, it ensures fast and robust wireless communication in congested environments. The high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M33 core, running at 160 MHz, is complemented by 704 KB of SRAM, providing ample processing power and storage for applications.

Security is paramount with the RA6W1. It features advanced measures such as eXecute in place (XiP) with on-the-fly decryption, TRNG, AES-256, and secure key storage and boot, ensuring data remains protected.

The RA6W1 is Matter ready certified and aligned with the latest IoT standards and regulations to ensure longevity and future-proof compatibility. It has an extensive list of integrated interfaces, including UART, SPI, I2C, SDIO, PWM, I2S, and GPIOs, making it easy to integrate into existing systems.

The RA6W1 implements different low-power modes that enable ultra-low power operation required by the latest legislation and from battery-operated devices. Sleepy-connected operations ensure very low latency and instant response while operating in ultra-low power sleep modes.
