MediaTek, a leader in power-efficient, highly-integrated IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, industry-leading MT7687 is a low-power, WiFi System-on-Chip (SoC) that allows home appliances and smart devices to connect to and be controlled through a home network. Enabling a diverse range of IoT applications, the MT7687 provides advanced security, integrated memory, and an enhanced user programmable microcontroller.
The MT7687 provides lower power consumption to ensure maximum performance with a minimal impact on device power. The MT7687 has the ability to transmit at a maximum power output of 21dBm, a level that exceeds comparable SoCs in the market for enhanced WiFi coverage for smart homes. In addition, security is achieved through AES and 3DES/SHA2 protocols as security engines. Additional MT7687 advantages include:
- An ARM® Cortex®-M4 processor with FPU.
- 1x1 802.11b/g/n WiFi subsystem designed for power efficiency and robust connectivity.
- 192Mhz/200Mhz for Cortex M4.
- Versatile peripherals, including UART, I2C, SPI, I2S, PWM, IrDA, and auxiliary ADC support diverse applications.
- An embedded SRAM/ROM and a serial flash in package.
- A compact module for Smart Home appliances/devices.
- An integrated security engine that makes the appliances/devices more secure. A developer-friendly platform with Open SDK.
