88W8987-A2-NYEA/AK

RF Transceiver ICS Overview

The NXP 88W8987-A2-NYEA/AK is a single-chip RF transceiver supporting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wave 2 protocols. Operating at 2.4GHz and 5GHz, it delivers up to 433Mbps data rates with 22dBm output power and -99dBm sensitivity. The device integrates multiple serial interfaces including GPIO, JTAG, PCM, SDIO, and UART. It functions within a voltage range of 1.1V, 1.8V, and 2.2V, consuming 38mA to 82mA during reception and 79mA to 145mA during transmission. Packaged in a 68-pin HVQFN (8x8mm) with wettable flanks, it supports surface mount installation and operates between -30°C and 85°C.

RF Transceiver ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NYEA' against official NXP documentation to confirm pinout and feature configuration differences from similar variants like 'NYEE'. Ensure compatibility with the required operating voltage levels and interface signals before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process.

RF Transceiver ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when both Bluetooth and 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi are required on a single chip. Consider the 68-pin QFN package size and wettable flank availability for reworkability. Evaluate current consumption profiles against battery life requirements, noting the distinct receive and transmit current ranges specified in the datasheet.
