Product description
The Qualcomm QCA-9990-1-156DRQFN-MT-06-0 chipset is designed to meet the requirements of modern wireless applications that demand both speed and efficiency. With its 4x4 MU-MIMO technology, the chipset can handle multiple simultaneous connections, offering a significant improvement in network efficiency over older Wi-Fi standards. This capability is especially important in environments with many devices, such as smart homes, office networks, or public spaces.
The chipset’s dual-band support, operating in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrums, allows it to provide high-speed communication with reduced interference. The 5 GHz band, combined with 160 MHz channels and 256-QAM modulation, enables the chipset to achieve data rates up to 3.5 Gbps. This ensures low-latency performance for applications that require significant bandwidth, such as 4K video streaming, virtual reality, and cloud-based gaming.
The integration of PCIe 3.0 and USB 3.0 interfaces ensures compatibility with a wide range of host systems, from consumer-grade electronics to embedded industrial devices. This flexibility allows manufacturers to integrate the QCA-9990 chipset into various devices like routers, access points, laptops, and more. The form factor, a compact 156-pin DRQFN package, is designed for ease of integration in both consumer electronics and high-end networking equipment.
