Realtek RTL8180L

The Realtek RTL8180L is a highly integrated and cost-effective

wireless LAN network interface controller that integrates a

wireless LAN MAC and a direct sequence spread spectrum baseband

processor into one chip. It provides 32-bit performance and PCI bus

master capability. With full compliance to IEEE 802.11 and IEEE

802.11b specifications, the RTL8180L delivers wireless Ethernet

networking at speeds of 1, 2, 5.5 or 11 Mbps.

The RTL8180L supports short preamble and antenna diversity and

builds in an enhanced signal detector to alleviate severe

multi-path effects. For security issue, the RTL8180L implements

high-performance internal WEP engine supporting up to 128-bit

WEP.

The RTL8180L supports an enhanced link list descriptor-based buffer

management architecture. It contributes to lowering CPU utilization

and heightening system performance.

The RTL8180L provides support for Advanced Configuration Power

management Interface (ACPI), PCI power management system for modern

operating systems that are capable of Operating System directed

Power Management (OSPM) to achieve the most efficient power

management possible. In addition to the ACPI feature, the RTL8180L

supports remote wake-up (including AMD® Magic Packet and

Microsoft® wake-up frame) in both ACPI and APM

environments.

The RTL8180L keeps network maintenance costs low and eliminates

usage barriers. Adopting a

0.18Ã&402;Æ&8217;Ã&8218;¬m CMOS

manufacturing process and packaged in a 128-pin LQFP, the RTL8180L

features compact size and ultra low power consumption, providing

the world's most competitive solution for design of WLAN

applications.
