Product information "WiFi 5 click"

WiFi 5 click features Gainspan’s GS1500M 802.11b/g/n Low Power Wi-Fi module with a PCB trace antenna (external IPX antenna connector also available). The click is designed to run on a 3.3V power supply. WiFi 5 click communicates with the target MCU over a UART interface with additional functionality provided by RST and PROG pins (the latter in place of default mikroBUS™ AN pin). 

GS1500M WiFi module

The module supports WiFi PHY rates up to 72.2 Mbps and is fully compliant with 802.11b/g/n and meets worldwide regulatory requirements. GS1500M also provides support for a peer-to-peer networkingcapabilities allowing WiFi devices to connect to one another without an access point, enabling easy transfer of content.

Security features include support for WEP/WPA/WPA2, Adhoc and WPS (Wi-Fi protected setup).

On the hardware side, the GS1500M module comprises two ARM7 44MHz chips (one for the radio, the other for applications), as well as on-chip Flash and SRAM.

Data rates of up to 921.6kbps can be achieved through the UART interface.

Low power consumption

The module can stay in standby mode (7μA) most of the time and only wake up when data transmitting is needed. While in sleep mode it uses only 8mA.

WiFi 5 click is suited for battery powered applications, due to its multiple power modes (stand-by, sleep, deep sleep).

Key features
