It can be enabled across multiple platforms but is ideally suited as a plug-and-play wireless module for the NXP i.MX platform integrates wireless drivers into the BSP software.  The SX-SDMAX is an excellent solution for device manufacturers who seek to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6, as well as for NXP SOM providers who may want to free up their PCIe lanes and use an SDIO module to add connectivity. Silex Technology also offers custom driver development and/or patching services with the SX-SDMAX. This helps i.MX platform customers eliminate driver development and integration efforts or get custom, local support to help design their products.  Features/Benefits SX-SDMAX is a 2.4 GHz/5 GHz dual-band Wi-Fi 6 plus Bluetooth 5.3 BR/EDR/LE radio. SX-SDMAX allows customers to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 technology today, and receive the benefits of its low power consumption and efficient communication in the latest 802.11ax standard.  **Wi-Fi 6 (OFDMA)** By subdividing the Wi-Fi channel into smaller frequency allocations, parallel transmissions of smaller frames to multiple users occur simultaneously. This results in efficient communication in existing frequencies for better communication in dense environments. **Target Wake Time (TWT)** Significantly improves battery life by as much as 67% in Wi-Fi devices, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices. **10-15 Year Lifecycle** Lengthen product longevity with NXP's 10-15 year lifecycle support. Silex uniquely procures and stores its components and has its own manufacturing facility to continue manufacturing products well after a component(s) used in the product goes EOL. **NXP Ecosystem ** NXP customers on i.MX platforms can use NXP radios as a plug-and-play option with SX-SDMAX, eliminating any driver development and integration efforts. **Quality ** Silex tests and calibrates each radio module before delivery. Our software also undergoes stringent quality testing before it is released as a Silex Technology driver.  Specifications | SKU's | Surface Mount SKU                     : SX-SDMAX-2530S  B2B (40 pins) Connector SKU  : SX-SDMAX-2530C M.2 Card (type 2230-S3-E)       : SX-SDMAX-M2 | | --- | --- | | Chipset | NXP IW611 | | Host Interface | WLAN: SDIO 3.0 Bluetooth: UART | | Wi-Fi Standard | IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (1x1)  | | Bluetooth Specifications | Bluetooth v5.3 (BR/EDR/LE Compliant) | | Antenna  | MHF1 x1 | | Operating Voltage | Main power: 3.3V + 1.8V IO power: 1.8V or 3.3V | | Operating Environment | Temperature: -40 ~ 85 ℃ Humidity: 95% RH or less (Without Condensation) | | Storage Environment | Temperature: -40 ~ 85 ℃ Humidity: 95% RH or less (Without Condensation) | | Dimensions | SX-SDMAX-2530S: 17.0 x 18.0 x 2.65mm SX-SDMAX-2530C: 24.0 x 24.0 x 4.45mm SX-SDMAX-M2      : 22.0ｘ30.0ｘ4.45mm | | Weight | SX-SDMAX-2530S: 1.7g SX-SDMAX-2530C: 3.3 g SX-SDMAX-M2      : 3.3g  | | Package Type |   SX-SDMAX-2530S: 44-pins Land Grid Array (Direct Solder) SX-SDMAX-2530C: 40 pins board to board connector SX-SDMAX-M2      :M.2 Card type 2230-S3-E |   Documentation [SX-SDMAX Hardware Specifications ](https://www.silextechnology.com/productspecs/sx-sdmax-product-specification?hsLang=en-us)   ###### Helpful Links - [Hardware Specifications ](https://www.silextechnology.com/productspecs/sx-sdmax-product-specification?hsLang=en-us) - [Test, Fix, Enhance: Transforming NXP Reference Drivers into Reliable and Stable Wi-Fi Solutions for Medical Devices](https://www.silextechnology.com/white-paper/nxp-driver-enhancements-2024?hsLang=en-us) - [Why Wi-Fi 6E?](https://www.silextechnology.com/wi-fi-6e80211ax?hsLang=en-us)   ###### Support Having trouble?
