DescriptionThe Intersil ISL37300P WLAN PCCard (note 1) is a complete wireless high speed Network Interface Card (NIC) utilizing the Intersil PRISM® 2.5 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Wireless Transceiver chip set. It provides a complete PRISM 2.5 reference design evaluation platform of hardware and software to system providers or integrators requiring wireless data communications capability and is ideal for integration into computer platforms.
The Evaluation kit (ISL37300P-EVAL) includes two WLAN PC cards designed to Intersil's PRISM reference design, Microsoft Windows® Driver, Local Area Network evaluation software, PRISM Test Utilities (PTU) (note 2)software and documentation to complete the evaluation. The ISL37300P-EVAL supports the IEEE802.11b network specification for Direct Sequence Spread spectrum DSSS signaling, providing data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps. Evaluation kit software updates are available on the Intersil Web Site.
In addition to the evaluation kit, a complete PRISM chipset WLAN reference design package (ISL37300P-CD) is available. The ISL37300P-EVAL contains all the documentation needed for manufacturing of the PRISM 2.5 PCMCIA wireless network card including: Cadence/Allegro Layout, Gerber files, Concept schematic, Bill of Materials, assembly and mechanical drawings, test plan, and even a copy of the application for FCC equipment authorization. Customers who license the reference design also receive password access to FCC Intersil's Premier Web site for the most current updates on hardware and software.
