Description

The CL8040 is a high-performing, highly integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) R2 single PCIe chip that delivers the best Wi-Fi network performance for its size by combining two Wi-Fi 6 radios into a single 11mm x 11mm PCIe chip. The chip employs two concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi 6 radios with 4T4R architecture that can drive aggregated PHY/data link speeds up to 3Gbps. The two independent radios can function as an access point, client, or as repeater.

CL8040 integrates dual MAC, dual PHY, analog and RFIC in a single package, including the required CPUs and memories to run more of the wireless LAN functions on-chip, eliminating the need for costly external memories. Interface to the host is over a dual-lane PCIe 3.0 interface.

The CL8040 is designed to support standard-based features addressing security, quality of service, and international regulation, as well as above-standard integrated value-add functionalities based on Renesas’s embedded and edge software technologies
