RTL8188CUS
Datasheet
1. General Description
The Realtek RTL8188CUS-GR is a highly integrated single-chip QFN-46 pin Wireless LAN (WLAN)
USB2.0 network interface controller compatible with the 802.11n specification. It combines a MAC, a
1T1R capable baseband, and RF in a single chip. The RTL8188CUS provides a complete solution for a
high throughput performance wireless client.
s
e
l
i
The RTL8188CUS baseband implements Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with 1
transmit and 1 receive path and is compatible with the IEEE 802.11n specification. Features include one
spatial stream transmission, short guard interval (GI) of 400ns, spatial spreading, and transmission over
20MHz and 40MHz bandwidth.
l
a
d
e
o
t
For legacy compatibility, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Complementary Code Keying (CCK)
and OFDM baseband processing are included to support all IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g data rates.
Differential phase shift keying modulation schemes, DBPSK and DQPSK with data scrambling capability,
are available, and CCK provides support for legacy data rates, with long or short preamble. The high-speed
FFT/IFFT paths, combined with BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM modulation of the individual
subcarriers and rate compatible punctured convolutional coding with coding rate of 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 5/6,
provide higher data rates of 54Mbps and 150Mbps for IEEE 802.11g and 802.11n OFDM respectively.

The RTL8188CUS builds in an enhanced signal detector, an adaptive frequency domain equalizer, and a
soft-decision Viterbi decoder to alleviate severe multi-path effects and mutual interference in the reception
of multiple streams. Robust interference detection and suppression are provided to protect against
Bluetooth, cordless phone, and microwave oven interference.

Efficient IQ-imbalance, DC offset, phase noise, frequency offset, and timing offset compensations are
provided for the radio frequency front-end. Selectable digital transmit and receive FIR filters are provided
to meet transmit spectrum mask requirements and to reject adjacent channel interference, respectively.

The RTL8188CUS supports fast receiver Automatic Gain Control (AGC) with synchronous and
asynchronous control loops among antennas, antenna diversity functions, and adaptive transmit power
control function to obtain the better performance in the analog portions of the transceiver.

The RTL8188CUS MAC supports 802.11e for multimedia applications, 802.11i for security, and 802.11n
for enhanced MAC protocol efficiency. Using packet aggregation techniques such as A-MPDU with BA
and A-MSDU, protocol efficiency is significantly improved. Power saving mechanisms such as Legacy
Power Save, and U-APSD, and APSD, reduce the power wasted during idle time, and compensates for the
extra power required to transmit OFDM. The RTL8188CUS provides simple legacy and 20MHz/40MHz
co-existence mechanisms to ensure backward and network compatibility.
