BCM4717 - Intensi-fi® XLR 802.11n (2.4/5 GHz) Router System-on-Chip

Intensi-fi® XLR 802.11n (2.4/5 GHz) Router System-on-Chip

The BCM4717 provides dual-band (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) capabilities in a small package for 802.11n routers, access points, set-top boxes and digital televisions, where compact form factors are important. It also integrates a high performance 300 MHz CPU architecture and offers options for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet PHYs.

The BCM4717 provides high-performance, yet cost-effective dual-band capabilities for a variety of 802.11n products. It leverages Broadcom's superior radio and digital architecture to maintain data rates of up to 300 Mbps in either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. It also features Accelerange(tm) technology to ensure robust wireless signals over a larger coverage area, which is critical for video streaming and other low-latency applications.

  • High-performance System-on-a-Chip (SoC) processor
  • Draft IEEE 802.11n-compliant CPU/MAC/baseband/radio wireless router solution
  • Single-chip 65nm design and 2-layer PCB reduces RBOM and enables 802.11n routers with smaller form factors
  • Designed to work with various external switch arrangements, including 10/100/1000, 10/100, or a single-port PHY
