Welcome to Azure Sphere MT3620 Module
The Avnet Azure Sphere MT3620 Module supports Microsoft’s Azure Sphere end-to-end solution for highly secured, Wi-Fi-connected microcontroller (MCU) devices. The production-ready, certified module supports an on-board chip antenna for cost-optimized systems.
By integrating all the necessary support and RF front-end circuitry onto the small 33 mm x 22 mm module, Avnet has reduced the design time for implementing Sphere-based solutions. More importantly, developers can leverage the module’s wireless certifications for their end product, saving considerable certification cost and testing time.
Module Versions 1 and 2 have been discontinued.

Technical Specification

The Azure Sphere MT3620 module is based on the MT3620AN SoC, which supports dual-band 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity, a 500 MHz ArmRegistered CortexTm-A7 core for user applications, and two general purpose 200MHz Arm Cortex-M4F I/O subsystem cores designed to support real-time requirements. The on-chip peripherals (GPIO, UART, I2C, SPI, PWM and ADC) can be mapped to dedicated I/O pins on the module for connection to external sensors, I/O connectors, or other user application circuits. Product Brief (Datasheet)
