AIRFORCE ONETM CHIP 802.11 REFERENCE DESIGN
BCM94317 Reference Design
Industry's smallest IEEE 802.11b solution makes wireless LAN
connectivity practical for pocket-sized electronic devices
Extreme integration includes radio, baseband, MAC, power
amplifier, and all other radio frequency (RF) components
found on a typical wireless LAN board--making small mobile
devices easier, less expensive and faster to manufacture
Innovative power management reduces power consumption by
up to 97% in standby mode, providing greatly extended battery
life for mobile devices
Cost-effective architecture with single-sided all-CMOS design
eliminates over 100 components, providing more affordable
wireless connectivity for consumer electronics
High-performance features standard across the AirForce
product line:
- OneDriverTM
- SmartRadioTM
- WPA
- CCX
- AES in hardware
- XpressTM technology
Reference designs include Secure Digital I/O, Secure Digital
I/O with a BluetoothTM option, and Compact Flash.
Innovative power management techniques improve battery
life by creating deep sleep state when device is in stand-by
mode
Designed for low CPU utilization to ensure CPU resources are
available for handheld applications
SmartRadio: Continuous calibration reduces test time and
improves manufacturability
Xpress Technology: Standards-based frame bursting
improves overall network efficiency
Security:
- WPA CERTIFIED for powerful encryption and
authentication
- -AES in hardware future-proofed for 802.11i security
standard
- Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) Certified
Worldwide Support: Global products supported with
worldwide homologated design
OneDriver: Single driver across all platforms 802.11a, b, and
g simplifies driver update process and improves customer
satisfaction
