ISL3893

® ISL3893 D ata Sheet June 2003 FN8062 PRELIMINARY Wireless LAN Integrated Medium Access Controller with Baseband Processor The Intersil ISL3893 Wireless System on Chip (WiSOC™) is part of the PRISM Duette™, Dual Band radio chipset. The ISL3893 directly interfaces with the Intersil’s ISL3690 Dual Band Direct Conversion transceiver. Adding Intersil’s ISL3090 10GHz VCO and Intersil’s ISL3990 Dual Band Power Amp completes an endto-end WLAN Chipset solution providing both 5 GHz 802.11a and 2.4GHz 802.11b/g access point capability. The 802.11 protocol is implemented in firmware to allow custom WLAN solutions. Firmware implements the full IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN MAC protocol. It supports BSS under Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). This allows the ISL3893 to serve as a self hosted Access Point. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulated with BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, or 64QAM and a variety of convolutional coding rates provides 8 selectable data rates at 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Differential phase shift keying modulation schemes, DBPSK and DQPSK with data scrambling capability along with Complementary Code Keying provide 4 additional selectable data rates at 2.4GHz. Built-in flexibility allows the ISL3893 to be configured for a range of applications. The MAC is based on the ARM 946E processor core that offers a wide variety of code development support tools. The ISL3893 is housed in a thin plastic BGA package.
