Wireless PCMCIA Controller
1 Description
The Cirrus Logic CS22220 Wireless Network Controller enables high performance, 11 Megabits per
second digital wireless data connectivity for PCMCIA, mobile, embedded systems and other cost
sensitive applications.
The CS22220 is a highly integrated single-chip PCMCIA solution for wireless networks supporting
video, audio, voice, and data traffic. The programmable controller executes Cirrus Logic’s
Whitecap™2 networking protocol that provides Wi-Fi™ (802.11b) compliance as well as multimedia
and quality of service (QoS) support. The device includes several high performance components
including an ARM7TDMI RISC processor core, a Forward Error Correction (FEC) codec and a
wireless radio MAC supporting up to11 Mbps throughput. The CS22220 utilizes state of the art
0.18um CMOS process and is housed in a 208 FPBGA compact (15mm x 15mm) package, which
has low-lead inductance suitable for highly integrated radio applications. The core is powered at 1.8
V with 3.3V (5.0V tolerant) I/O to reduce overall power consumption. In addition, the CS22220
supports low power management for the host and radio interfaces.
The CS22220 is designed to be an integral part of a PC card (PCMCIA 2.1/JEIDA 4.2). The
PCMCIA host interface also supports both little endian and big endian protocol for easy interfacing
to popular microprocessors in embedded system applications.
