CYW43903
1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Cypress CYW43903 is a single-chip device that provides the highest level of integration for an embedded system-on-a-chip with
integrated IEEE 802.11 b/g/n MAC/baseband/radio and a separate ARM Cortex-R4 applications processor. It provides a small form-
factor solution with minimal external components to drive down cost for mass volumes and allows for an embedded system with
flexibility in size, form, and function. Comprehensive power management circuitry and software ensure that the system can meet the
needs of highly embedded systems that require minimal power consumption and reliable operation.
shows the interconnect of all the major physical blocks in the CYW43903 and their associated external interfaces, which are
described in greater detail in Applications Subsystem External Interfaces.

Note:
Another SPI interface can be defined by reconfiguring GPIO_8 through GPIO_11 and another CSC interface can be defined
by reconfiguring GPIO_12 and GPIO_13 (see
).
