Product details
Overview
88W8897PB1-NMJC/AK from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-band 2×2 MIMO Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) + Bluetooth 5.0 System-on-Chip supporting concurrent STA/AP/Wi-Fi Direct GO modes, up to 866.7 Mbps PHY rate, DFS radar detection in 5 GHz, and Miracast™-certified HD video streaming - deployed in ultrabooks and smart TVs for Always-On, Always-Connected (AOAC) operation.
For engineers reviewing the 88W8897PB1-NMJC/AK datasheet, 88W8897PB1-NMJC/AK pinout, 88W8897PB1-NMJC/AK application, or 88W8897PB1-NMJC/AK equivalent, key selection considerations include coexistence arbitration with LTE modems, HSIC/SDIO 3.0/USB 2.0 host interface support, dynamic rapid channel switching (DRCS), and integrated power management for connected standby.
Technical Context
The 88W8897PB1-NMJC/AK integrates IEEE 802.11ac draft-compliant 2×2 MIMO baseband, RF transceivers, Bluetooth 5.0 dual-mode controller (BR/EDR + LE), and hardware-accelerated security engines for 802.11i. It implements DRCS to maintain independent operation across STA, AP, and Wi-Fi Direct GO on separate channels.
It supports 802.11h DFS for radar pulse detection in UNII-2/2e bands, includes MWS serial transport for LTE coexistence arbitration, and delivers QoS via 802.11e for voice/video traffic prioritization - all within a single die with shared antenna resources and unified power domain control.
