Product Description
The MT7681N is optimized for smart devices that need connectivity but not the higher bandwidth required by more advanced Wi-Fi chips. It is frequently used in smart plugs, sensors, and other home automation devices where simple Wi-Fi networking suffices. For developers, MediaTek has provided tools like the LinkIt SDK, although some users find its ecosystem and community support lacking compared to alternatives like the ESP8266. Despite this, the chip remains a solid choice for those looking to implement basic IoT applications without extensive computing needs.
Dual Mode Wi-Fi Connectivity: The MT7681N supports Wi-Fi 4 (802.11b/g/n) with a 2.4 GHz frequency range, making it suitable for a wide array of IoT devices that need wireless networking.
Embedded TCP/IP Stack: This SoC includes an integrated TCP/IP stack, simplifying the process of connecting devices to cloud applications or other networked devices.
GPIO and UART Ports: It offers several General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins and a UART port for serial communication, expanding its integration potential with various sensors or devices.
PWM Support: The MT7681N supports software-driven PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), which is useful in applications like LED dimming control.
Specification
