Hi3873V100

Wi-Fi 6/NearLink/BLE combo SoC with transparent broadband transmission

Hi3873V100 is highly integrated single chip that features a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi subsystem, a NearLink subsystem and a Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) subsystem. It is compatible with IEEE 802.11ax (also known as Wi-Fi 6) and with earlier standards IEEE 802.11 b/g/n. The chip integrates the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ax baseband and radio frequency (RF) circuits. The RF circuit consists of the power amplifier (PA), low-noise amplifier (LNA), RF balun, antenna switch, and power management module. As a slave chip, Hi3873V100 runs by connecting to the master chip in the plug-in devices, such as IP cameras, FHD TVs and entry-level 4K smart TVs.
Regarding Wi-Fi, the chip supports 802.11n 20 MHz/40 MHz and 802.11ax 20 MHz frequency bandwidth, and operates with a maximum physical layer bit rate of 150 Mbps, contributing to larger transmit power and better coverage.
Regarding BLE, it supports 1MHz and 2 MHz frequency bandwidths, compatibles with BLE 4.0/4.1/4.2/5.0/5.1/5.2 protocols. The BLE maximum physical layer bit rate is 2 Mbps.
Regarding NearLink, it supports SLE 1 MHz, 2 MHz, and 4 MHz frequency bandwidths, compatible with SLE 1.0. As an SLE gateway, it supports a maximum physical layer bit rate of 12 Mbps.

In the Hi3873V100 series, there are 3 types of packages according to SLE capability and host interface:

• Hi3873U: USB 2.0 host interface; 1 MHz or 2 MHz SLE RF bandwidth and SLE physical bit rate up to 4 Mbps

• Hi3873S: SDIO 2.0 host interface; 1 MHz or 2 MHz SLE RF bandwidth and SLE physical bit rate up to 4 Mbps

• Hi3873E: USB 2.0 host interface; 1 MHz, 2 MHz or 4 MHz SLE RF bandwidth and SLE physical bit rate up to 12 Mbps

  • High integration

  • IoT gateway

    Bluetooth/NearLink device access and multi-device linkage

Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity

Higher transmission speeds and more concurrent connections

Wi-Fi 6 introduces OFDMA, spatial reuse (SR), and BSS Coloring to mitigate co-channel interference and upscale concurrent connections. Wi-Fi 6 supports higher-order modulation and smaller subcarriers to provide higher rates. Multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) technologies, coupled with a beamforming technique, enable APs to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, thereby allowing for more concurrent connections and better coverage.
In addition to the standard Wi-Fi bands, the product also supports dynamic narrowband Wi-Fi bands. This means that, for scenarios where speed is not critical, the product can reduce the Wi-Fi spectrum bandwidth to provide better coverage.

NearLink Connectivity

Ultra-low delay air interfaces for an ultimate experience

With a novel physical layer, NearLink SLE supports smaller air interface timeslots, leading to greatly reduced end-to-end latency. Its polar code–based channel coding delivers over 7 dB coverage gains and anti-interference capabilities. It supports spectrum resource allocation based on center scheduling and uses an innovative channel scanning and selection mechanism. As such, it implements SLE fast frequency hopping and optimal channel selection, bringing great leaps in connectivity stability and transmission reliability. NearLink SLE also supports larger air interface bandwidth and higher-order modulation. Compared with traditional short-range technologies, SLE offers much higher air interface transmission rates.

Simplified Network Configuration and Fast Fault Locating

Higher network configuration success rates and lower return rates

The product can auto-discover NearLink devices within range; and complete device registration on the cloud through a secure and reliable communication channel.
When pairing with Nearlink-incapable devices, the product auto-switches to a traditional network configuration mode (such as the BLE or SoftAP-assisted).The product reports network configuration errors and guides the user through troubleshooting steps, so as to reduce return and replacement caused by network configuration failures. Collection of network configuration exception data helps with informed improvements.
