Abstract :
This paper presents design and verification methods of Toshiba´s wireless LAN (WLAN) baseband SoCs. An FPGA-based high-speed and reliable verification environment for physical layer (PHY), a new SDL-based hardware design method for media access control layer (MAC), and an ultra low power design resulting in power consumption of 22 uW in the deep-sleep mode are described.
