IDT Introduces New Processor for Wireless LAN Gateways

IDT (Integrated Device Technology) introduced an integrated communications processor aimed at SME/SOHO wireless gateways. The new processor features a 32-bit MIPS CPU core operating at up to 180 MHz, enabling both single and dual-band WLAN designs, and is compatible with a range of real-time operating systems, including Linux and VxWorks. The addition of two Ethernet media access controllers (MACs) with industry standard media independent interfaces (MIIs) provides connectivity to other networking devices and equipment. It also integrates a 16-bit PCMCIA version 2.1 interface that provides system designers with a seamless connection to a range of peripherals and chipsets, including WLAN solutions. Additional features include a 32-bit version 2.2 peripheral component interconnect (PCI) controller, as well as an SDRAM memory controller.
