IEEE 802.11n RF/Baseband/MAC 40nm

Overview

The Baseband IP is the IEEE 802.11n RF/Baseband/MAC wireless solution operating in a single stream mode for low-power standalones, embedded stations, access points, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
This IP supports both mandatory and optional features of the IEEE 802.11n standard and its corresponding Wi-Fi Alliance certifications. It can also be used in a variety of configurations, including IEEE 802.11b only and IEEE 802.11b/g or IEEEE 802.11b/g/n combinations.
The RF is a complete radio front-end, optimized for IEEE 802.11b/g/n SoC implementation based on industry-proven direct conversion transceiver architecture. This transceiver IP has fully integrated power amplifiers along with the capability to support various commercial
external FEM. RF IO ports are single-ended and a fractional-N synthesizer while the power amplifiers and LDOs are fully integrated for minimum BOM and PIN counts.

Furthermore, the IP has been designed to achieve the lowest power consumption with a combination of several proprietary techniques for low-power mobile wearable electronics and IoT applications.
Additionally it includes Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Aware peer-to-peer technologies,allowing great range of IoT usage, providing convenient and simple wireless connectivity, and enabling people to do more with their wireless products.
