Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
Baseband Processor
Features
• Complete DSSS Baseband Processor
The Intersil HFA3863 Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) baseband
processor is part of the PRISM® 2.4GHz
radio chipset, and contains all the
• RAKE Receiver with Decision Feedback Equalizer
• Processing Gain. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FCC Compliant
• Programmable Data Rate. . . . . . . . 1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps
• Ultra Small Package. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 x 10mm
• Single Supply Operation (44MHz Max) . . . . . 2.7V to 3.6V
• Modulation Methods. . . . . . . . DBPSK, DQPSK, and CCK
• Supports Full or Half Duplex Operations
functions necessary for a full or half duplex
packet baseband transceiver.
The HFA3863 has on-board A/D’s and D/A for analog I and Q
inputs and outputs, for which the HFA3783 IF QMODEM is
recommended. Differential phase shift keying modulation
schemes DBPSK and DQPSK, with data scrambling capability,
are available along with Complementary Code Keying to provide
a variety of data rates. Built-in flexibility allows the HFA3863 to be
configured through a general purpose control bus, for a range of
applications. Both Receive and Transmit AGC functions with 7-bit
AGC control obtain maximum performance in the analog
portions of the transceiver. The HFA3863 is housed in a thin
plastic quad flat package (TQFP) suitable for PCMCIA board
applications. It is pin compatible with the HFA3861B.
• On-Chip A/D and D/A Converters for I/Q Data (6-Bit,
22MSPS), AGC, and Adaptive Power Control (7-Bit)
• Targeted for Multipath Delay Spreads 125ns at 11Mbps,
250ns at 5.5Mbps
• Supports Short Preamble and Antenna Diversity
Applications
• Enterprise WLAN Systems
• Systems Targeting IEEE 802.11b Standard
• DSSS PCMCIA or Mini-PCI Wireless Transceiver
• Spread Spectrum WLAN RF Modems
• TDMA or CSMA Packet Protocol Radios
• Part 15 Compliant Radio Links
