General Description

The Sona IF573 series wireless module is an integrated, small form factor Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module that is optimized for low-power mobile devices, featuring:

  • Wi-Fi 6E: Tri-band 2x2 MIMO IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax WLAN
  • Bluetooth® Dual Mode

The integration of all WLAN and Bluetooth functionality in a single package supports low cost and simple implementation along with flexibility for platform-specific customization. It is available in both M.2 2230 E-Key and M.2 1318 solder-down form factor.

This device is pre-calibrated and integrates the complete transmit/receive RF paths including bandpass filter, diplexer, switches, reference crystal oscillator, and power management units (PMU). Both variants support three integrated MHF4 connectors, with two ports for WLAN and one dedicated for Bluetooth. The M.2 1318 solder down module also supports an RF trace pin option for use with external antenna solutions.  For a list of certified antennas see Certified Antennas in the datasheet.
