Qualcomm QCC740 is a tri-radio chipset integrating 1x1 Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 qualifications, and IEEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee and Thread) powered by a 32-bit RISC-V MCU up to 325 MHz and stacked memory (pSRAM and NOR flash).
Unlike other Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 5.3 qualified/15.4 combination chipsets on the market, QCC740 is integrated with a wide array of on-chip features, including a powerful 32-bit RISC-V processor with an FPU and DSP running up to 325 MHz, 484 KB SRAM, 48 KB cache, and 128 KB ROM, as well as an optional 4/8/16 MB pSRAM and 8 MB NOR flash System-in-Package (SiP). It also includes multimedia features such as audio and video codec and interfaces, and 35x multiplexed GPIO-rich peripherals. Its all-in-one design and capabilities contribute to reduced costs and enhanced performance, making it an attractive choice for IoT edge devices requiring a singlechip solution.
QCC740 operates in hostless mode, capable of running both the protocol stack all the way to the application level as well as IoT applications without requiring an external MCU. Built on FreeRTOS, its software SDK will be open-sourced on CodeLinaro coupled with the Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) IDE market extension to facilitate rapid IoT application development. It can also be used as an IoT connectivity transceiver in hosted mode (both RCP and NCP) with an external host. |
