Dialog Semiconductor announced the DA16600, a module that uniquely combines Dialog’s Wi-Fi and BLE capabilities into a single solution. This two-in-one module is comprised of two SoCs, the newly announced DA16200 and the SmartBond™ TINY DA14531, to provide low-power Wi-Fi and BLE for customers and further broaden Dialog’s IoT connectivity portfolio.
The DA16200 SoC was purpose built for battery-powered IoT applications, including connected door locks, thermostats, security cameras and other devices that require an “always on” Wi-Fi connection, but may be only used sporadically. Its VirtualZero™ technology enables the industry’s lowest level of power consumption for Wi-Fi connectivity, so that even continuously connected devices can achieve up to five years of battery life in many use cases (more info).
