The Atmel SAMW25 SmartConnect Wi-Fi module is the industry's first FCC-certified fully integrated Wi-Fi module with an independent microcontroller and hardware security from a single source. SAMW25 provides a secure plug-and-play solution that integrates wireless technology with the design flexibility required by Internet of Things (IoT) designers.
The SAMW25 module integrates Atmel's 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11 b / g / n Wi-Fi ATWINC1500 module, a microcontroller based on Atmel SMART SAM D21 ARM Cortex-M0 +, and Atmel's ATCC108A optimized CryptoAuthentication engine. Key store function secure connection. The SAMW25 module supports TLS, SSL and WPA / WPA2 WiFi security encryption as well as network services such as DHCP, DNS, TCP / IP (IPv4), UDP, HTTP and HTTPS. The compact 33.86mm × 14.88mm module provides an ideal solution for designers seeking to increase Wi-Fi connectivity with minimal previous experience in 802.11, IP stack or radio frequency (RF).
Mouser also offers the Atmel SAMW25 Xplained Pro evaluation kit, a hardware platform for evaluating the on-board ATSAMW25H18-MR510PB SmartConnect Wi-Fi module. The kit is supported by the Atmel Studio integrated development platform, provides easy access to the functions of the SAMW25 module, and explains how to integrate the device into a custom design. The Xplained Pro evaluation kit includes an on-board embedded debugger to program or debug the SAMW25 module without external tools. The Xplained Pro expansion kit provides additional peripherals to extend the capabilities of the board and simplify the development of custom designs.
The company said that the Atmel SAMW25 module is well-suited for IoT designs, including smart devices, home and factory automation, multimedia devices and security applications.
