It seems to me that the Qorvo DWM3001C and InsightSIP ISP3080-UX are startlingly similar. The biggest unknown for me is the difference between the 33110 and the 3110 chips, both from Qorvo. The 33110 advertises itself as backward compatible with the 3000.
I’m asking because InsightSIP has an android app and sample firmware for their modules that makes use of UWB for distance finding. I’ve noticed a ton of requests for android samples, and if InsightSIP has both sides of that coin, and the code can be modified to use the DWM300CDK fairly easily.
I’d love to hear the insights from the experts here whether that’s a simple or frustrating thing to do.
Hi @hpux735 , indeed the DW3000 series (DW3110/3120/3210/3220) are similar to the QM33 series (QM33110W/120W). The main difference is that the QM33 is a newer silicon revision than the DW3000 series to support Japan pulse shape. We also see this QM33 device featured in the Murata Type 2AB module here with the nRF52840 but without any on-board antenna so the Insight SIP is differentiated in that regard: Type 2AB | UWB Modules | Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Also, QM33 is only available in CSP package while DW3000 is available in both a QFN and a pin2pin compatible CSP.
As the recent versions of the driver (since the introduction of the QM33) support both QM33 and DW3000, it is very simple to move from one device to the other in the software.
