Overview
Description
The DA16200 system-on-chip (SoC) is the world's first Wi-Fi SoC to deliver year-plus battery life for always-connected Wi-Fi IoT devices. DA16200 is a low power Wi-Fi networking SoC that delivers a dramatic breakthrough in battery life even for devices that are continuously connected to the Wi-Fi network. In most applications, one year plus battery life is achievable. There is no tradeoff in output power or range, as the SoC's range is industry-leading. The chip also features very strong IoT security, including WPA3 and TLS for authentication and encryption at Wi-Fi and higher stack layers. The DA16200 is a full offload device, meaning the entire Wi-Fi and TCP/IP networking stack and even end product application code can run on-chip with no external CPU or MCU required. Alternatively, a small inexpensive MCU can send the DA16200 commands and the SoC will still perform the full offload networking stack functions.
The DA16200 modules are the perfect complement to the DA16200 ultra-low power Wi-Fi SoC.

DA16200
Hello regading the wifi module familly, are the FC9050 based on the DA16200 chipset ? I would like to compare the power consumption of this module versus competitor (like espressif) to try wining some design against this very agressive competitor, to highlight the power consumption of the FC9050 or DA16200 chipset ...

What will DA16200 SDK do if the AP is powered off
If the DA16200 has disconnected from the home AP due to following two main reasons, DA16200 tries to recover connection with AP after an initial try for 30 seconds, and the DA16200 operates as abnormal DPM to recover connection and save power. Examples are listed below: Lost AP beacon due ...

Can DA16200 show good current performance on all APs?
No. Since many AP makers use their own mechanism based on the Wi-Fi Standard, it is hard to guarantee 100% AP compatibility. However, DA16200 can support IoT application to have both better battery lifetime and AP compatibility. Although DA16200 meets the general requirements on most APs, it is possible ...
