Connectivity Integrated (CNVi)

Connectivity Integrated (CNVi) is a general term referring to a family of connectivity solutions which are based on the Connectivity Controller family. The common component of all these solutions is the Connectivity Controller IP, which is a hard macro embedded in various Intel processor chips.

The Integrated Connectivity (CNVi) solution consists of the following entities:

  • The containing chip (Processor or PCH which contains the Connectivity Controller IP)
  • Buttress (as applicable to each platform, and coupled the Connectivity Controller IP)
  • Companion RF chip that is in a pre-certified module (i.e., M.2-2230, M.2-1216) or soldered as chip on board.

The main blocks of the integrated Connectivity solution are partitioned according to the following:
