| Marvell Introduces World's First Ultra Low-Power 90nm WLAN Single
Chip Solution | | | |
Sunnyvale, California — Marvell announced the Marvell 88W8686 - the
world’s first ultra-low-power 90 nm Wireless LAN (WLAN) single chip solution. Further expanding the Company’s
market leadership in the WLAN space, the Marvell 88W8686 raises the bar on WLAN performance by offering the
industry’s lowest total system power – drawing less than 400 mW – and the smallest total system footprint – less
than 50 mm2.
Marvell is the leader in the embedded consumer WLAN market with more than 70% market share. Marvell
revolutionized WLAN with the introduction of consumer-grade, embedded WLAN solutions for gaming, single and
dual-mode mobile handsets, PDAs, digital cameras, MP3 players, and printing platforms. As a result, Marvell has
enabled its tier-one OEM customers to successfully introduce industry-leading products into the gaming, cellphone,
imaging, and PDA markets. Building on this track record of success, the Marvell 88W8686 represents three
generations of leading-edge WLAN products, and significant investment in silicon and embedded software
development.
“Our vision of the smallest and lowest-power silicon solution drove our 90 nm
process development. The Marvell 88W8686 gives our customers the ability to enhance battery life by at least 100%,”
said Dr. Paramesh Gopi, General Manager of the Embedded and Emerging Business Unit, Communications and Consumer
Business Group at Marvell. “This third-generation WLAN solution builds on Marvell’s leadership in system software,
and adds revolutionary new features for consumer products.”
An example of Marvell’s 88W8686
solution in a dual mode handset would result in connected standby times in excess of 250 hours and talk time in
excess of 10 hours, versus current solutions which offer on average 70 and 4 hours respectively. Additionally, the
Marvell 88W8686 continues Marvell’s legacy of supporting advanced layer 3/4 packet processing (TCP/IP) along with
enhancements for UMA and IMS 3G services.
The Marvell 88W8686 has defined a new standard of
power, performance, and size for WLAN solutions in consumer devices. By migrating Marvell’s field proven WLAN
technology to the most advanced 90 nm process, Marvell has created the world’s smallest, lowest-power, highest
integrated, single chip solution. About the Marvell 88W8686
The Marvell 88W8686
integrates an ARM compliant CPU, high speed serial host interfaces including SDIO and SPI to ensure interoperability
with a variety of host systems, and advanced 802.11 a/b/g RF transceiver with full cellular coexistence. Targeted
at a wide variety of consumer devices, including 3G+ and broadband handsets, the Marvell 88W8686 has full compliance
for advanced communications standards including complete support for L3, TCP/IP, UMA and IMS. The Marvell 88W8686
incorporates Marvell’s proven thick MAC architecture, and offloads the host CPU—resulting in lower power and
increased system performance. The Marvell 88W8686 is fully backwards compatible, with Marvell’s field proven,
industry leading WLAN software suite for Linux, Symbian, Windows CE and other proprietary operating systems. |
