BCM4705 Block Diagram
The Broadcom BCM4705 processor is the highest performance chip in
the 802.11n/MIMO Intensi-fi™ processor family.
It integrates a powerful 300 MHz/500 DMIPS (*estimated) MIPS32 core
with 4-way set associative 32 KB instruction cache, a 32 KB 2-way set
associative data cache, and a 4 KB prefetch cache. An enhanced 10/100/
1000 Gigabit Ethernet MAC controller with TCP Segmentation and
checksum Offload (TSO) hardware acceleration engine substantially
enhances system throughput.
The BCM4705 integrates two USB2.0 EHCI Host ports and one USB2.0
Device port. The USB2.0 device port allows connectivity to PC or
consumer electronics (CE) devices equipped with USB host ports.
The BCM4705 supports a PCI 2.3 host interface and a USB host/device
interface for adding application-specific peripherals including
BCM4321 2x2 MIMO, BCM4318 single-chip 802.11g, BCM4309
802.11 a/b/g, BCM4320 USB2.0 WLAN, BCM5397 Gigabit Ethernet
switch, and future generations of Broadcom wired, wireless, audio/video
codec, and multimedia processing devices.
