Overview

TI WiLink™ 8 module family

The WL1835MODCOM8 is one of the two evaluation boards for the TI WiLink 8 combo module family. For designs requiring performance in the 5 GHz band and extended temperature range, see the WL1837MODCOM8I.

The WL1835MODCOM8 Kit for Sitara EVMs easily enables customers to add Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® (WL183x module only) to embedded applications based on TI's Sitara microprocessors. TI’s WiLink 8 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth modules are pre-certified and offer high throughput and extended range along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth coexistence (WL183x modules only) in a power-optimized design. Drivers for the Linux and Android high-level operating systems (HLOSs) are available free of charge from TI for the Sitara AM335x microprocessor (Linux and Android version restrictions apply).

Features
  • WLAN, Bluetooth, BLE on a module board
  • 100-pin board card
  • Dimension 76.0 mm(L) x 31.0 mm(W)
  • WLAN 2.4 GHz SISO (20- and 40-MHz channels), 2.4-GHz MIMO (20-MHz channels)
  • Support for Bluetooth & BLE dual mode
  • Seamless integration with TI Sitara and other application processors
  • Design for TI AM335X general-purpose EVM
  • Shared HCI transport for Bluetooth and BLE over UART and SDIO for WLAN.
  • WiFi / Bluetooth single antenna co-existence
  • Built-in chip antenna
  • Optional U.FL RF connector for external 2.4-GHz band antenna
  • Direct connection to battery using external switching mode power supply supporting 4.8-V to 2.9-V operation
  • VIO in the 1.8-V domain
