4 RS9116 CC0 Module Detailed Description
4.1 Overview
The RS9116 CC0 module is based on Silicon Labs’ RS9116 ultra-low-power, single spatial stream, 802.11n +
BT/BLE5.0 Convergence SOC. The RS9116 CC0 module is FCC,IC,CE and TELEC certified and provides low-cost
CMOS integration of a multi-threaded MAC processor (ThreadArch®), baseband digital signal processing, analog
front-end, calibration eFuse, 2.4GHz RF transceiver, 5GHz RF transceiver, matching networks, antenna diversity
switch (DPDT) and Quad-SPI Flash thus providing a fully-integrated solution for a range of hosted and embedded
wireless applications. With Silicon Labs
’ embedded four-threaded processor and on-chip ROM and RAM, these
modules enable integration into low-cost and zero host load applications. With an integrated PMU and support for a
variety of digital peripherals, RS9116 enables very low-cost implementations for wireless hosted and embedded
applications. It can be connected to a host processor through SDIO, USB, SPI or UART interfaces. Wireless firmware
upgrades and provisioning are supported.
