RS9116 - Single Chip High Performance Single Stream 802.11b/g/n SoC with SDIO/SPI

The RS9116 belongs to Redpine Signals' high performance Maxi-Fi® family's BEAM150™ series. It is a small form-factor single-chip solution for Access Points and Client devices as per the IEEE 802.11b/g and draft 802.11n standards (backward compatible with 802.11b/g), supporting data rates as high as 150Mbps. It integrates a Medium Access Layer (MAC), Baseband processor, Radio Frequency (RF) Transceiver, Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and Power Amplifier functionality into a single chip. The RS9116 is optimized in terms of RBOM cost reduction. Thus, no special external devices are needed and the number of external components is limited to the lowest possible component count. The RBOM is around 25% lower than any existing solution currently on the market. An innovative integrated calibration circuit supports on-the-fly calibration and helps to reduce the manufacturing calibration time to a minimum. Thus, no expensive RF test equipment and no external trimming are necessary. The RS9116 comes in a small footprint PG-VQFN-108 package with a body size of 12mmx12mm supporting SDIO and SPI interfaces.
