DNXA-92: 802.11n a/b/g wifi PCIe half-size mini card, AR9280/Merlin
DNXA-92 is a 802.11n a/b/g in the smallest PCIe half-size form factor providing notebook or application specific device (ASD) manufacturers with enhanced design flexibility to develop ultra-compact devices with optimal balance of performance and power. Setting new standards in throughput, range, reliability, and power consumption, DNXA-92 delivers the ultimate wireless triple play experience for video, voice, and data transmission in the home, for the business, and on the road.
Additionally, DNXA-92 features Atheros’ innovative system-level power-savings protocols, algorithms and circuit design techniques which include Dynamic MIMO Power Save (DMPS), Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (UAPSD), and Atheros Wake-on-Wireless to provide the highest level of 802.11n WLAN throughput and allows devices to remain lowest power consumption to extend battery life.
- The smallest PCIe form factor in 2Tx/2Rx design is ideal for embedding into ultra-compact devices or embed additional mini cards with complimentary technologies.
- Windows 2000/XP/Vista and Linux 2.6 drivers enable manufacturers to quickly and easily bring new bandwidth intensive applications to market with trouble-free WiFi integration.
- 802.11n Draft 2.0 compliance effectively interoperates with other chipsets.
- Enables bandwidth of up to 300Mbps link rate, six times the throughput of 802.11a and 802.11g.
- Supports IEEE 802.11a/802.11b/802.11g backward compatibility allowing inter-operability among multiple wifi networks.
- Dynamic MIMO Power Save (DMPS) conserves total system power by seamlessly downshifting to 1x1 MIMO operation when small amounts of data need to be transmitted or received.
- Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (UAPSD) increases a device sleep time while transmitting real-time, moderate bandwidth traffic.
- Atheros Wake-on-Wireless allows the host system to go into very low-power standby mode, but be awakened at any time by the network, or a remote device.
- XSPAN™ with Signal-Sustain Technology (SST) 2Tx/2Rx design architecture optimizes for higher and greater reliable throughputs over range.
- Two Hirose U.FL antenna connectors enable transmit and receive diversity for flexible 2x2 RF design.
- RoHS 2002/95/EC compliance meets environment-friendly requirement.
