SX-SDCAN
802.11a/b/g/n Plus Bluetooth* SDIO Card
Freescale Recommended Wireless LAN Module
The Silex SX-SDCAN is a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n plus Bluetooth
Diagram:
SDIO card that is based on the SX-SDPAN (Qualcomm Atheros
AR6233). The SX-SDCAN is mechanically designed in a SD card form
factor to provide customers with a vendor independent form factor.
The SX-SDCAN is the only Freescale-recommended wireless connec-

The SX-SDCAN integrates an external 5 GHz Front End Module
(FEM) and is individually tuned to optimize WLAN performance.
The radio module design approach also saves cost as the
SX-SDCAN provides FCC/IC/ETSI/TELEC modular certiꢀcation.
