Broadcom BCM5356A1KFBG

Overview

Incorporates IEEE 802.11b/g and single-stream IEEE 802.11n MAC and baseband and a 2.4GHz radio transceiver to achieve data rates of up to 150 Mb/s."The BCM5356A1KFBG processor is Broadcom's lowest cost and most integrated entry level router. Also on chip is a powerful 333-MHz MIPS 74K CPU core with 32-KB instruction cache and a 32K data cache and an optimized memory subsystem architecture that delivers system performance of over 100Mb/s TCP throughput. In addition, the BCM5356A1KFBG integrates a highly reliable 2.4 GHz power amplifier that delivers the equivalent performance as external power amplifiers. The BCM5356A1KFBG includes a variety of components on chip, thereby reducing the Bill of Materials (BOM), and enabling smaller form factor and lower cost PCB solutions. The BCM5356A1KFBG is implemented in 65nm CMOS technology that enables lower overall power consumption compared to previous generations. Further, it implements a Green Wi-Fi mode that dynamically switches off components of the chip thereby reducing active power consumption. This solution comes with two options which include:BCM5356: Single-chip 2.4G single stream IEEE 802.11n retail routerBCM5356U: Single-chip 2.4G single stream IEEE 802.11n retail router with USB support"
