FEATURES
• IEEE 802.11a/g CMOS MAC/Baseband client solution with BroadRange™ for PCI Express® conections. Flexible design provides an 802.11b/g or 802.11a/g solution when paired with an appropriate radio.
• Supports Wireless Form Factor (WFF) PCI Express cards for desktop PCs, Wireless on Motherboard (WOMBO) notebook modules, and embedded Wi-Fi® applications for 54g® to PCI Express connections.
• High-speed serial bus supports x1 lane running at 2.5 Gbps in each direction for improved Quality of Service (QoS), Error Detection, Power Management, Hot Plug/Hot Swap capability, and simplified board layout.
• Includes BroadRange signal processing for industry-leading receive sensitivity and extended range.
• Highly integrated chipset provides low cost, low power, and small footprint for integration in a broad range of devices.
• WHQL-certified drivers for Windows® XP, Windows® Me, Windows® 2000, Windows® 98SE, and Windows® 98 operating systems, portable to Linux® and Windows® CE.
• USB 1.1 host for expanded Bluetooth® connectivity and coexistence.
• 4-KB one-time programmable (OTP) memory for customer-defined parameters.
• Industry-standard UART and JTAG interfaces to manage other serial devices for in-system testing.
• On-chip 1.8V/2.5V regulators reduce component cost and power dissipation and simplify PCB design.
