SparkFun Thing Plus - DA16200

Product Overview

The SparkFun DA16200 Thing Plus utilizes a highly integrated ultra-low power WiFi system on chip (SoC) from Dialog that allows users to develop WiFi and IoT solutions. The DA16200 module contains an 802.11b/g/n radio (PHY), a baseband processor, a media access controller (MAC), on-chip memory and a host networking application processor all on a single silicon die. To make the Thing Plus as easy to use as possible, we've made the board Feather-compatible and it utilizes our handy Qwiic Connect System which means no soldering or shields are required to connect it to the rest of your system!

The SparkFun DA16200 Thing Plus includes Qwiic and LiPo battery connectors, multiple GPIO pins, and JTAG PTH pins for debugging. This unique Thing Plus model is ideal for your next IoT project, thanks partly to the numerous sleep modes that allow you to take advantage of current draws as low as 0.2 - 3.5 µA on the WiFi module.

The DA16200's system on a chip (SoC) has full offload capabilities to run the entire networking OS and TCP/IP stack on the chip; therefore, an external network processor, CPU, or microcontroller is not required. The module is WiFi Alliance certified for IEEE802.11b/g/n, and WPS functionalities. The WiFi Alliance transfer policy can transfer the WiFi Certifications without being tested again.

Note: Please be aware that the Thing Plus - DA16200 has a 3.3V logic level voltage.
