CEVA RivieraWaves™ Wi-Fi IP A complete suite of embeddable Wi-Fi IPs and platforms, spanning Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 OVERVIEW The RivieraWaves™ Wi-Fi IP family is a comprehensive suite of IPs and platforms for embedding Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n (Wi-Fi 4), 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) or 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) into SoC/ASSP. Together with the Bluetooth IP family – both Bluetooth Low Energy and Bluetooth dual mode versions ­– the Wi-Fi IP family forms part of CEVA’s popular and production-proven RivieraWaves Wireless Connectivity portfolio. Each RivieraWaves Wi-Fi solution incorporates PHY modem functions and MAC functions, including Lower MAC (LMAC) and Full MAC software protocol stacks. The IP is provided with an integration-ready processor and operating-system- agnostic platform, simplifying deployment in SoC/ASSP designs. An optimized Wi-Fi & Bluetooth coexistence interface with a Packet Traffic Arbiter is also available for smooth simultaneous operation. The modem can be either a hardwired function (for minimal die area and extremely low power consumption) or a software-defined modem (SDM) that gives extra flexibility for multi-protocol connected devices. RF partners including Catena, Sabertek, and others help address deployment on various foundries and processes. The RivieraWaves Wi-Fi IP family addresses a broad range of applications and contains a suite of solutions, each optimized for various target products, with a range of configurations. The Wi-Fi family is organized into 3 categories: Wi-Fi Low Power: optimized for small, low cost and low power IoT devices, wearables, medical, low end smartphones and wireless audio, it includes 802.11n 1×1 (Wi-Fi 4) and 802.11ax 1×1 20MHz (Wi-Fi 6) configurations. Wi-Fi High Performance: addressing a vast array of media-sharing consumer devices, including smartphones, tablets, cameras, and smart-home products, it supports configurations such as 802.11n 2×2 (Wi-Fi 4), 802.11ac 1×1 & 2×2 (Wi-Fi 5), 802.11ax 1×1 & 2×2 (Wi-Fi 6). Wi-Fi Multi-Gig: tailored for advanced products dealing with high data traffic including access points, media gateways, and Wi-Fi offload in small cells, it provides 4×4 configurations of 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) and 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6). BENEFITS The RivieraWaves Wi-Fi IP family offers designers a choice of small footprint, ultra-low power consumption, high bandwidth, and high performance solutions. Optimized implementations are available that target a broad range of connected devices, including smartphones, wearables, smart-home, consumer & industrial IoT, and automotive applications. Small footprint allows integration into SoCs/ASSPs Low power consumption makes it ideal for mobile and wearable applications Provides an easy-to-integrate, off-the-shelf, market-leading solution MAIN FEATURES Full support for 802.11a/b/g/n (Wi-Fi 4), 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) and 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) Optimized solutions to match target application in terms of power, area, performance and flexibility, spanning 1x1, 2x2, 4x4 configurations Supports both 2.4 and 5.0GHz bands Bandwidths up to 80MHz Modulations up to 256QAM (1024QAM for 11ax aka Wi-Fi 6) Throughputs from 1Mbps up to Multi-Gbps Supports OFDMA (11ax aka Wi-Fi 6) and MU-MIMO Wi-Fi & Bluetooth coexistence interface Product Brief BLOCK DIAGRAM MICROPROCESSOR REPORT CEVA FIRST TO LAUNCH 802.11AX IP The IEEE’s next-generation 802.11ax Wi-Fi specifications are more than a year from ratification, but (as usual) several wireless-chip vendors have already announced pre-standard products.
