The BCM6765 from Broadcom is a 2.4/5/6 GHz Wi-Fi 7 SoC Communications Processor. It enables low-power, small form factor multi-Giga-bit access points, routers, repeaters, and service provider gateways for residential applications. This SoC consists of a dual 802.11be 2x2 MIMO WLAN radio support, quad-core ARM v8 CPU, 2.4 GHz power amplifiers (PAs), digital pre-distortion (DPD) external front-end modules (FEMs), additional support for a third radio, and an 802.3-compliant 10 Giga-bit Ethernet PHY interface. It delivers a data rate of up to 8.6 Gbps in two spatial streams over a channel bandwidth of up to 320 MHz.
The BCM6765 uses external FEMs for reduced power consumption and supports automated frequency coordination (AFC) for improved Wi-Fi connectivity. It utilizes the 4096-QAM modulation scheme and multi-link operation (MLO) with the support of up to 3 links at a time using an external third radio. This Wi-Fi 7 SoC has a provision to further improve the connection speed using the SpeedBooster tool. It also integrates other communication interfaces such as dual PCIe Gen3 controllers (two lanes + single lane), dual USB ports (3.2 + 2.0), 10 Gbps USXGMII-S port, and a 16-bit DDR4-3200/LPDDR4/4x-4267 memory interface.
