Section One: Introduction
1. Introduction
Project Name: BCM3380Z D3.0 Wireless eMTA.
The typical use model for this embedded device is to allow the client device to
be connected to an 802.11b/g/n 2x2 wireless network with infrastructure mode
or to serve as an ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) data path.
1.1 Scope
The Wireless BCM43224 is an available 11n solution in the 2.4GHz band, compatible with the
IEEE 802.11b/g/n. The 802.11 g data rate provides for 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6Mbps, and 802.11b
data rate provides for 11, 5.5, 2, 1Mbps. In addition, 11n provide MCS8~MCS15 for HT20 which
PHY data rate up to 150Mbps; also provide MCS8~MCS15 for HT40 with data rate up to 300Mbps.
1.2 Function
· RoHS and Green Compliant.
· 802.11b/g/n 2x2 based on BCM43224.
· PCI-E Half Mini Supported.
· Module is powered by the host with a 3.3V +/- 10% supply (55mVpp ripple).
· Module’s clock source is provided by the on board XTAL Oscillator of 20 MHz
(+/- 10ppm).
· JTAG connector will be provided for FA and debug.
