CL8000 Product Family
Wi-Fi 6/6E
Renesas’ highly integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax R2) chip
solutions delivers best Wi-Fi network performance for their
size by combining two Wi-Fi 6 radios into a single 11x11mm
PCIe chip supporting concurrent dual band 8T8R operation.
The CL8000 product family offers dual-band concurrent, tri-
band concurrent, and quad-band concurrent Wi-Fi 6/6E
solutions that are optimized for power, size and cost.
The CL8000 product family is a powerful, highly integrated, Wi-Fi
6 (802.11ax R2) chip family employing a disruptive concurrent
dual-band, dual-function, dual transceiver 8T8R flexible MIMO architecture that can drive PHY/Data
Link speeds up to 6Gbps for concurrent dual band operation in a single chip.
802.11ax functionality includes MU-OFDMA, MU-MIMO, beamforming, TWT, trigger-based
scheduling, 1024QAM and 160MHz support. Renesas’ architecture introduces dynamic MAC and
PHY improvements to perfect throughput and coverage in dense environments, ensuring that the
CL8000 product family delivers a high QoE anywhere, anytime and on any device.
The product family integrates dual MAC, dual PHY, analog and RF 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 and delivering a strong host offloading solution. Interface to the host is
over a dual lane PCIe 3.0.
CL8000 architecture allows independent functional operation of the two Wi-Fi radios, allowing for
example AP+ AP, AP + STA, AP + Repeater, AP + Listening Radio (Spectrum Intelligence), thus
allowing enhanced usability and spectrum agility.
