Ralink Technology Announces Sample of RT3883 SoC and RT3593 Chips, The Industry’s First Single Chip 450Mbps 802.11n Access Point and Station Solutions with Beam Forming Technology

The RT3883 SoC combines Ralink’s 802.11n draft compliant 3T3R MAC, BB, 2.4/5GHz RF, a high performance 500 MHz MIPS74Kc CPU core, a USB Host and USB OTG, two Gigabit Ethernet MAC, a PCIe Host/Device and PCI Host/Device. The RT3883 employs Ralink’s 3rd generation 11n Ralink Video Turbine(RVT) technologies for longer range and better throughput. The embedded high performance CPU can process advanced applications such as routing, security and VoIP. The USB port can be configured to access external storage devices for digital Home applications. In addition, The RT3883 includes rich hardware interfaces (SPI/PCM/I2S/I2C/UART/GDMA) to enable many possible applicatiions. The RT3593 is a highly integrated MAC/BB, and 2.4/5G RF single chip, supporting 450Mbps PHY rate. It fully complies with IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11 b/g, features rich wireless connectivity at high standards, and delivers reliable, cost-eective, throughput from an extended distance. Optimized RF architecture and baseband algorithms provide superb performance with low power consumption. An Intelligent MAC design deploys a highly ecient DMA engine and hardware data processing accelerators without overloading the host processor. The RT3593 series is designed to support standard based features in areas of security, quality of service and international regulation, giving end users the greatest performance, at anytime, in any circumstance…
