Preliminary Data Sheet

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

FEATURES

APPLICATIONS

BCM43236

2.4 GHz/5 GHz IEEE802.11n MAC/PHY/Radio Chip

The BCM43236 is a dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
IEEE 802.11n-compliant MAC/PHY/Radio complete
system-on-a-chip with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz internal
PAs. The device enables the development of USB

2.0- or HSIC-based IEEE 802.11n WLAN client and
router subsystem solutions. The BCM43236 is
targeted for all WLAN markets that can take
advantage of the high throughput and extended
range of the Broadcom second-generation MIMO
solution. With MIMO, information is sent and
received over two or more antennas simultaneously
using the same frequency band thus providing
greater range and increasing throughput, while
maintaining compatibility with legacy IEEE 802.11a/
b/g devices. This is accomplished through a
combination of enhanced MAC and PHY
implementations including spatial multiplexing
modes in the transmitter and receiver and advanced
digital signal processing techniques to improve
receive sensitivity.

The BCM43236 architecture with its fully integrated
dual-band radio transceiver supports
2 × 2 antennas for Layer 2 throughput of over
200 Mbps.

State-of-the-art security is provided by industry
standardized system support for WPA™, WPA2™
(IEEE 802.11i), and hardware-accelerated AES
encryption/decryption, coupled with TKIP and IEEE

802.1X support. Embedded hardware acceleration
enables increased system performance and
significant reduction in host-CPU utilization in both
client and access point configurations. The
BCM43236 also supports Broadcom’s widely
accepted and deployed WPS for ease-of-use
wireless secured networks.

• IEEE 802.11n-compliant

• 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz internal PA

• Two-stream spatial multiplexing up to 300 Mbps

• Uses on-chip OTP (One-Time Programmable)
memory instead of SROM for substantial RBOM
savings.

• Supports MCS 0–15 and MCS 32 modulation and
coding rates.

• Supports 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels with optional
SGI.

• Support for STBC in both TX and RX

• Greenfield, mixed mode, and legacy modes
supported

• Full IEEE 802.11a/b/g legacy compatibility with
enhanced performance.

• Supports one USB 2.0 host port or one 480 MHz HSIC
port.

• UART and JTAG interface, up to eight GPIOs.

• Supports up to 32 MB of serial Flash™ memory.

• ARM® Cortex-M3™ CPU core plus 256 KB ROM and
448 KB RAM.

• Supports Broadcom’s OneDriver™ software.

• Supports WHQL certified drivers for Windows® Vista
32- and 64-bit, Windows® XP, and Windows 2000
operating systems for client applications.

• Supports Linux® and VxWorks® for access point and
router applications.

• Comprehensive wireless network security support
that includes WPA, WPA2, and AES encryption/
decryption coupled with TKIP and IEEE 802.1X
support.

• BCM43236 package: 10 mm x 10 mm 88-pin QFN

• USB 2.0 dongles

• HSIC media modules
