1 System Overview

AL
1.1 General Descriptions

TI
MT7615 is a highly integrated Wi-Fi single chip which supports 1733 Mbps PHY rate. It fully complies
with IEEE 802.11ac and IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n standards, offering feature-rich wireless connectivity at
high standards, and delivering reliable, cost-effective throughput from an extended distance.

EN
Optimized RF architecture and baseband algorithms provide superb performance and low power
consumption. Intelligent MAC design deploys a high efficient offload engine and hardware data
processing accelerators which completely offloads Wi-Fi task of the host processor. MT7615 is

ID
designed to support standard based features in the areas of security, quality of service and
international regulations, giving end users the greatest performance any time and in any circumstance.
NF
MT7615 supports concurrent dual-band operation at 5GHz and 2.4GHz band (DBDC, Dual-Band-
Dual-Concurrent). It enables diversified applications that require one link at 2.4GHz band, and the
other at less crowded 5GHz band simultaneously.
CO

With the advent of 802.11ac, multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) is defined. MT7615 supports MU-MIMO
with different configurations. An AP is able to use its antenna arrays to transmit multiple frames to
different clients at the same time and over the same frequency spectrum.

2.3 Strapping Option

EN
Four pins are used to set up the default status of the chip for different normal mode applications. The
pins are all internally pulled down. Users can connect the pin with an external small resistor (1KΩ or
less) to VDD33 when they want to change the application. Those pins are sampled at Power-On-reset
to determine the default status.

ID
GPIO7 is used to identify if the external EEPROM or the internal Efuse is used. GPIO10 is used for
testing purpose, and the user should set up normal mode for normal application.
