An 18ms-latency wireless high quality codec SoC for full HD streaming

An SoC integrating both an IEEE 802.11n Wireless LAN (WLAN) and a high quality codec is implemented using 90nm CMOS technology for wireless connectivity between full HD video-supporting devices. The WLAN operates with up to 270-Mbps data rates using 2×3 MIMO technologies and the codec supports up to 1080P 60Hz resolution with 30-bit RGB color format. The system achieves total 18ms latency, which enables this SoC to be used in gaming consoles and PCs as well as full-HD digital TVs with 1.5W power consumption.
