CYW4343W
Single-Chip 802.11 b/g/n MAC/Baseband/Radio
with Bluetooth 4.1
The Cypress CYW4343W is a highly integrated single-chip solution and offers the lowest RBOM in the industry for wearables, Internet
of Things (IoT) gateways, home automation, and a wide range of other portable devices. The chip includes a 2.4 GHz WLAN IEEE
802.11 b/g/n MAC/baseband/radio and Bluetooth 4.1 support. In addition, it integrates a power amplifier (PA) that meets the output
power requirements of most handheld systems, a low-noise amplifier (LNA) for best-in-class receiver sensitivity, and an internal
transmit/receive (iTR) RF switch, further reducing the overall solution cost and printed circuit board area.
The WLAN host interface supports SDIO v2.0 mode, providing a raw data transfer rate up to 200 Mbps when operating in 4-bit mode
at a 50 MHz bus frequency. An independent, high-speed UART is provided for the Bluetooth host interface.Using advanced design
techniques and process technology to reduce active and idle power, the CYW4343W is designed to address the needs of highly mobile
devices that require minimal power consumption and compact size. It includes a power management unit that simplifies the system
power topology and allows for operation directly from a rechargeable mobile platform battery while maximizing battery life.
The CYW4343W implements the world’s most advanced Enhanced Collaborative Coexistence algorithms and hardware mechanisms,
allowing for an extremely collaborative WLAN and Bluetooth coexistence.
Cypress Part Numbering Scheme
Cypress is converting the acquired IoT part numbers from Broadcom to the Cypress part numbering scheme. Due to this conversion,
there is no change in form, fit, or function as a result of offering the device with Cypress part number marking. The table provides
Cypress ordering part number that matches an existing IoT part number.
