WiLink™ 6.0 single-chip WLAN, Bluetooth® and

WiLink™ 6.0 single-chip WLAN,
Bluetooth® and FM solutions
Product Bulletin
TI’s WiLink 6.0 mobile platform is a complete
hardware and software offering comprised
of proven WLAN, Bluetooth® and FM cores
integrated onto a single chip.
™
There are four solutions in the WiLink 6.0 product
offering. The WL1271 supports 802.11b/g/n in
the 2.4-GHz band, while the WL1273 supports
802.11a/b/g/n with 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz band
support. Both single-chip solutions support
Bluetooth 2.1 Release, ANT and FM transmit and
receive. The WL1271/3L support in addition to
the above, Bluetooth Low Energy Specification
4.0 + EDR.
The WiLink 6.0 single-chip solutions are
manufactured in 65-nm CMOS process and
use TI’s DRP™ technology to deliver low power,
a small form factor and low cost requirements
of handset manufacturers worldwide.
Key benefits
TI’s WiLink 6.0 platform is pre integrated,
optimized and validated with a variety of
processor platforms, including TI’s OMAP
processor family to lower required integration
efforts and acceleate time to to market for a
wide range of applications.
The WiLink 6.0 solution includes TI’s
proven, robust coexistence platform, which
addresses system-wide interference issues,
encompassing radio design, and hardware and
software solutions. Coexistence expertise is
becoming increasingly important as more radios
are being added to the handset. TI leads the
market in coexistence solutions for Bluetooth
and mWLAN with hundreds of consumer
devices shipping in the market since 2003
using TI’s coexistence platform.
