The Intersil ISL37400M WLAN miniPCI
(Note 1) is a complete wireless high
speed network interface card (NIC)
utilizing the Intersil PRISM 2.5 Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Wireless Transceiver
chip set. It provides a complete PRISM 2.5 reference design
evaluation platform of hardware and software to system
providers or integrators requiring wireless data
communications capability and is ideal for integration into
computer platforms.
Evaluation kits include a WLAN miniPCI and a WLAN
PCMCIA designed to Intersil’s PRISM reference design,
Microsoft® Windows® driver, LAN evaluation software,
PRISM Transmitter Test Utilities (PTTU) software (Note 3)
and documentation to get your evaluation started quickly. It
supports the IEEE802.11 network specification for DSSS
signaling, providing data rates of 1, 2, 5.5 and 11Mbps.
Access points are available from a number of suppliers,
enabling a total wireless network solution. Typical operating
ranges are shown in Table 1.
A complete PRISM chipset WLAN reference design package
(ISL37400M-CD) is also available. The reference design
package contains all the documentation needed for the
manufacture of the PRISM 2.5 miniPCI WLAN card including
Cadence/Allegro Layout, Gerber files, Concept Schematic,
Bill of Materials, Assembly and Mechanical Drawings, Test
Plan, and a copy of the application for FCC equipment
