Sterling-LWB5 Module
Datasheet
Integrated 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WLAN, Bluetooth & BLE Module
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The Sterling-LWB5 is a high performance 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz WLAN and Bluetooth Smart Ready
combo module based on latest-generation silicon
(Cypress’s BCM43353). With an industrial
temperature rating, broad country certifications,
and the availability of two different package styles,
the Sterling-LWB5 provides significant flexibility to
meet various end user application needs.

The on-module chip antenna package style for the
Sterling-LWB5 eliminates complexity for design
integration, simplifies manufacturing assembly with
larger pin outs, and features an advanced chip
antenna that offers greater resistance to de-tuning
than typical trace or chip antennas.

Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Bluetooth 3.0,
Bluetooth 4.2 (Bluetooth Low Energy)
•
•
WLAN and Bluetooth coexistence
Available in two footprint styles:
o Easy to Integrate: 15.5 mm x 21 mm
o Miniature footprint: 10 mm x 10 mm
Available with integrated chip antenna or
U.FL connector for external antenna
Operating voltage: VBAT = 3.20V to 3.60V
VDDIO = 1.71V to 1.89V
