Broadcom has aimed its latest low power WiFi chips squarely at the mobile devices market.
The family of wireless LAN products have integrated single-chip Wi-Fi transceivers and radios and a software architecture that the firm said reduces the Wi-Fi subsystem’s total power consumption.
Broadcom said the result is 54Mbit/s full-rate active receive power consumption of less than 270mW. Chip-scale packaging gives a footprint of less than 50mm2, suitable for the smallest Wi-Fi devices said Broadcom.
The BCM4326 is for 802.11b/g applications and the BCM4328 is for 802.11a/b/g.
