Datasheet for Qualcomm Atheros AR5007EG

Single-chip IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN solution with support for PCI Express.

AR5007EG Technology Overview
Introducing the Atheros AR5007EG, our second generation single-chip IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN solution with support for PCI Express. AR5007EG integrates a complete WLAN solution-media access controller (MAC), baseband processor, and a high-performance 2.4-GHz radio in a lowcost digital CMOS design.
With the highest level of integration, the AR5007EG enables the entire WLAN solution to fit on a single-sided Mini Card or ExpressCard design, creating the ideal choice for embedded and aftermarket WLAN solutions for personal computers. This design exploits the highly integrated ability of the PCI Express bus architecture to support high-performance computing with up to 2.5-gigabit-per-second transmit and receive rates – a 150 percent improvement over the existing PCI architecture.
