With the lowest BOM cost, the AL7212S provides an outstanding benchmark in 802.11a WLAN transceiver with a combination of the most cost-effective solution, the smallest solution area and the most reliable technique. Only few IEEE 802.11a RF chips available, but none of them can be called “single chip” as external Power Amplifiers (PA) are still needed. Airoha, who made the world's first IEEE 802.11 b/g RF IC with embedded PA, now once again delivers the world's FIRST and ONLY IEEE 802.11a RF IC with embedded PA.
Leveraging Airoha's high-integrated technology, the AL7212S reduces around 40 components and saves more than 70% BOM cost and nearly 50% PCB space compared with other solutions. Not only cost and space, the AL7212S saves energy. The AL7212S features with multi-state power saving modes letting baseband chip to control the state to get the best performance with the lowest power consumption, which could be as low as only 5uA
The AL7212S is the best RF solution ever made as it's the first and only RF transceiver with embedded dual-band PA and provides all the benefits simultaneously.
