1 System Overview

1.1 General Descriptions

The MT7681 is a highly integrated Wi-Fi SoC(system on Chip) single chip, which supports
IEEE802.11b/g/n single stream, providing GPIO and PWM for intelligent control, and UART, SPI, and
I2C interfaces for device communication.
The MT7681 integrate power amplifier, low noise amplifier, and RF switch to reduce the module size
and RF design capability required. And also integrate power manage unit for single 3.3V power
source for cost effective design.
The MT7681 embedded 32-bit RISC MCU for 802.11b/g/n drivers, supplicant, TCP/IP protocol stack,
and networking applications, can be operated in station mode and softAP mode. The MT7681 is an
ideal solution for embedded device to enable networking service with minimized design effort.
All the features are available in compact 40pin, 5x5mm QFN package.

1.2 Features
 Single stream IEEE 802.11 b/g/n
 32-bit RISC microprocessor as the host MCU
 Embedded IEEE 802.11b/g/n drivers, supplicant, and TCP/IP stack
 Highly integrated RF PA, LNA, and RF switch
 Integrate high efficiency switching regulator for single 3.3V power source
 Security support for WFA WPA/WPA2 personal, WPS2.0, WAPI
 Operation in station mode or softAP mode
 Rich interfaces, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM and GPIOs
 All functions integrates in compact 5mm x 5mm QFN40L package
 UART interface
