Beken Corporation MPN encoding patterns, suffix decoding, and handler guidance. Use when working with Beken WiFi and BLE SoC components or BekenHandler.
Beken Corporation specializes in WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions, primarily targeting IoT applications including smart home, audio, and wearable devices.
Beken MPNs follow this general structure:

| |||
| ||+-- 1 = Variant
| |+-- 3 = Submodel
| +-- 72 = WiFi + BLE series
+-- BK = Beken prefix
BK7231-QFN-32
| ||| | |
| ||| | +-- 32 = 32-pin
| ||| +-- QFN = Package type
| ||+-- 1 = Variant

Parts within the same series are compatible if:
// QFN packages with same pin count are compatible
// QFN-32 != QFN-40 (different pinouts)
// Unspecified package assumes compatible
