Functional Block Diagram
EO

MT7976DAN is an IEEE WiFi 6 MIMO RF chip which contains 2.4 GHz WI-Fi transceiver front-ends and 5 GHz
m IA
Wi-Fi transceiver front-ends in a DRQFN package. Simplified block diagram and how MT7976DAN is used are
shown in Figure 1-1. The top control logics control each subsystem independently. Each subsystem also has
dedicated LDOs. A thermal sensor and a low-speed ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) are provided to monitor
co T
MT7976DAN’s temperature variation. MT7976DAN has its dedicated crystal oscillator (XO) circuit. Besides, XO
circuit provides an external clock source to other chips in the platform.
sz. EN
The transceiver front-ends are on MT7976DAN while the ADC/DAC (Analog-to-Digital Converter/Digital-to-
Analog Converter) is in the companion modem chip. The interface drivers/receiver buffers are designed to
tw ID
drive PCB trace loading.

IEEE 802.11 a/ac/ax/b/g/n standards. MT7976DAN features a self-calibration scheme to compensate the
process and temperature variation to maintain high performance. The calibration is performed automatically
right after the system boot-up.
