AMPAKs Ultra-Compact Wi-Fi 6E Modules with Low-Power Focus
AP6612X Focusing on Low-Power
AMPAK TECHNOLOGY has introduced the AP6612 module, a 1x1 Wi-Fi6E capable module designed for applications with extremely low power consumption requirements. The AP6612 Wi-Fi module is based on the new SYNAPTICS SYN4612 Wi-Fi/BT transceiver, which was developed for ultra-low power applications in the Edge AI environment. It sets standards in terms of energy efficiency, system integration and size. Thanks to the advanced power management system of the SYN461x, which supports multiple performance levels, energy usage can be significantly reduced, extending battery life.

Suitable for Consumer and Automation Applications
The AP6612X is suitable for both consumer and industrial applications, including wearables, smartwatches, audio speakers and headsets, home appliances, security cameras, asset trackers, and factory automation systems.
Technical Highlights of the Integrated SYN461x Chip
The integrated SYN461x Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chipset from SYNAPTICS is a versatile, Matter-compliant SoC supporting the latest Bluetooth features, including Channel Sounding and LE Audio with Auracast™. An integrated processor offloads tasks from the host application processor, further reducing overall system power consumption.
The SYN461x family extends SYNAPTICS’ triple-combo series for ultra low-power (ULP) IoT applications, delivering reliable connectivity up to 50 Mbps, long battery life, and maximum range. These are the most important features:
- Tri-band Wi-Fi (1×1) over 2.4, 5, and 6GHz with energy-optimized architecture
- Low-power Bluetooth/BLE with Channel Sounding for precise distance measurement
- IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread/Zigbee) with Matter support for seamless interoperability with common low-power networks
- Integrated Tx/Rx switch, LNAs, and PAs, reducing BOM and system costs while simplifying design (direct antenna connection only)
- WLBGA package option with low pin count for cost-effective, plated-through-hole (PTH) PCBs (up to 25% lower typical PCB costs)
- Integrated processor to offload the host application processor and minimize power consumption
- Secure Boot to ensure system integrity
What Are the Key Strengths of the AP6612X Wi Fi 6E Module From AMPAK?
The AP6612X delivers an ultra‑compact 1 × 1 footprint while delivering tri‑band Wi‑Fi 6E (2.4/5/6 GHz), Bluetooth 6.0, BLE, and IEEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee/Thread) interfaces. Thanks to the SYN461x chipset’s advanced power‑management, multiple performance levels, and an integrated processor that offloads the host CPU, the module achieves extremely low power consumption and extended battery life – ideal for wearables, smartwatches, audio devices, security cameras, asset trackers, and factory automation.
For easy prototyping, an evaluation board (EVB) for the AP6612X module is now available at the CODICO Sample Shop.
