Hi,

I've looked at the datasheets of CYW20704, CYW20706 & CYW20707 and the corresponding Bluetooth SIG listings.

It seems that they are equipped with almost the same features.

CYW20706 is supported by WICED SDK and here in the community.

Are there any other major differences that a customer should be aware of?

CYW20706 - USB is not brought out, Leverages an internal host with hosted stack, supported here on the community and within WICED Studio - Broad Market

CYW20707 - No USB Pins, Leverages an external host and stack, HCI-based, not supported here on the community and within WICED Studio

CYW20704 - USB supported, normally leverages an external Linux host and stack, not supported here on the community and within WICED Studio

Adding to what what has already stated, CYW20704 is usually used for dongle applications, CYW20706 is used for standalone applications and CYW20707 is used with an external host.
