The FC905A is a high-performance Wi-Fi 5 and BLE (Bluetooth 5.0) module in an LCC package which can be used to establish WLAN and Bluetooth connections. In IEEE 802.11ac mode, the WLAN operation supports rates of MCS0–MCS9 (up to 256QAM) in 20MHz, 40MHz, and 80MHz channels for data rates up to 433.3Mbps. All rates specified in the IEEE802.11a/b/g/n are supported. Included on-chip are 2.4GHz and 5GHz transmit power amplifiers and receive low noise amplifiers. Designed with a reliable SDIO 3.0 interface to provide WLAN capability, FC905A achieves low-power consumption.

The FC905A is Bluetooth 5.0 compliant. The Bluetooth transmitter also features a Class 1 power amplifier. The FC905A supports extended synchronous connections (eSCO) for enhanced voice quality by allowing for retransmission of dropped packets, and adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) for reducing radio frequency interference.

Surface-mount technology (SMT) makes the FC905A an ideal solution for durable and rugged designs. With an ultra-compact size of 12mm × 12mm × 1.95mm, the FC905A optimizes size and cost for end-products. The low profile and small size of the LCC package ensure that the FC905A can be easily embedded into size-constrained applications to provide reliable connectivity. The advanced package and the laser-engraved label with better heat dissipation and indelible markings allow for the strict requirements on cost and efficiency of large-scale automated manufacturing. Coupled with its compact size and extended temperature range, FC905A can meet varying needs of commercial and industrial applications, such as POS machines and speaker boxes.
