WiLink8 Variants

Table 2-1 lists available Wilink8 modules and devices from Texas Instruments. The link for each device contains the data sheet and associated documentation. The module or device selection can be made based on desired technology needed for end application.

The choice of modules vs chipdown depends on several factors. The modules provide the advantage of low hardware design efforts and certification efforts. On the other hand a one time investment in chipdown hardware design and certification offers added cost benefits for mass production.

The below table conains the links to product pages of modules and WiLink8 chip wherever applicable.
