The QCS2290 from Qualcomm is a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/4G LTE Wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) for global cellular connectivity. This SoC is manufactured on an 11 nm process node that offers improved power performance and reliability. It includes 4 Arm Cortex-A53 quad-core applications processor at up to 2.0 GHz, Qualcomm Adreno 702 GPU at 845 MHz, 3D graphics accelerator with 64-bit addressing, security module, and other high-bandwidth processing capabilities. This wireless SoC is a cost-effective solution that delivers greater performance, higher graphics capabilities, better quality images, and improved power performance compared to previous generations.
The QCS2290 supports WLAN 1×1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and FM with Qualcomm® WCN3950 or Qualcomm® WCN3910 (802.11b/g/n). It includes a dedicated DSP between the sensor core and low-power audio subsystem, Universal Bandwidth Compression (UBC) with GPU, 2 ISP camera systems (13 MP + 13 MP or 25 MP) at 30 fps ZSL, and Qualcomm’s True Palette display system. It supports various GNSS satellite constellation bands such as GPS, GLONASS, NavIC, BeiDou, QZSS, and SBAS. This SoC can be remotely controlled using two 4-lan CSIs (4/4 or 4/2/1) D-PHY at 2.5 Gbps per lane or C-PHY 1.0 at 10 Gbps (3.42 Gbps per trio) and provides additional support for USB 3.1 Type-C or Micro-USB interface.
This chip is available in an NSP package that measures 12.0 x 12.4 x 0.91 mm and is ideal for use in industrial handheld, camera, retail point-of-sale (POS), and asset tracking applications.
