2.1 General Description

The MSD50NBT module (which uses an SDIO interface) is a 2x2 MIMO 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN plus Bluetooth 4.0 dual mode device that is optimized for low- power mobile devices. The integration of all WLAN and Bluetooth functionality in a single package supports low cost and simple implementation along with flexibility for platform-specific customization. This device is pre-calibrated and integrates the complete transmit/receive RF paths including baluns, mobile phone coexistence band pass filter, diplexer, switches, power amplifier, low noise amplifier, and reference crystal oscillator. The MSD50NBTdevice supports Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy or BLE). The device’s low power consumption radio architecture and proprietary power save technologies allow for extended battery life. When operating on channels in the UNII -2 and UNII -2 Extended bands that are in the 5GHz portion of the frequency spectrum and are subject to Dynamic Frequency Selection requirements, the MSD50NBT fully conforms to applicable regulatory requirements. In the event that specified types of radar are detected by the network infrastructure, the MSD50NBT fully conforms to commands from the infrastructure for radar avoidance. The MSD50NBT interfaces to host devices via a 60-pin connector (Molex 60-pin connector). The I/O voltage level configuration (either 3.3 V or 1.8 V) is required from the host platform to configure the SDIO bus signal to run at a 3.3 V or 1.8 V signal level. In addition, its dual 802.11 and Bluetooth radio includes full digital MAC and baseband engines that handle all 802.11 CCK/OFDM® 2.4/5GHz, and Bluetooth basic rate and EDR baseband and protocol processing. MSD50NBT has its own RF shielding and does not require shielding provided by the host device into which it is installed in order to maintain compliance with applicable regulatory standards. As such, the device may be tested in a standalone configuration via an extender card.

5.1 Overview

The MSD50NBT WLAN block is based on the Qualcomm-Atheros AR6004 802.11a/b/g/n chipset. It is optimized for low power embedded applications and is configured to operate in dual-band, two-stream (2x2 MIMO) mode. Its functionality includes:  Improved throughput on the link due to frame aggregation, RIFS (reduced inter-frame spacing), and half guard intervals.  Support for STBC (space time block codes) and LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) codes.  Improved 11n performance due to features such as 11n frame aggregation (A-MPDU and A-MSDU) and low-overhead host-assisted buffering (RX A-MSDU and RX A-MPDU). These techniques can improve performance and efficiency of applications involving large bulk data transfers such as file transfers or high- resolution video streaming. Other included functionality is show in the following table (Table 3).

Embedded Wireless Solutions Support Center: http://ews-support.lairdtech.com www.lairdtech.com/wireless © Copyright 2016 Laird. All Rights Reserved Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852 2923 0610 Table 3: MSD50NBT WLAN functionality Feature Description Reset Control CHIP_PWD_L and BT_RST_L pins must be asserted low to reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. After these signals are de-asserted, the radio waits for host communication. Until then, all modules except the host interface are held in reset. Once the host has initiated communication, the radio turns on its crystal and then the PLL. After all clocks are stable and running, the block resets are automatically de-asserted. Note: Because BT chip derives clock from WLAN, the Bluetooth function should be powered down/reset whenever WLAN is reset. System Clocking (RTC Block) The MSD50NBT has an RTC block which controls the clocks and power going to other internal modules. Its inputs consist of sleep requests from these modules and its outputs consists of clock enable and power signals which are used to gate the clocks going to these modules. The RTC block also manages resets going to other modules with the device. The MSD50NBT’s clocking is grouped into two types: high-speed and low-speed. High Speed Clocking The reference 26 MHz clock source inside the MSD50NBT drives the PLL and RF synthesizer of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. To minimize power consumption, the reference clock source is powered off in SLEEP, HOST_OFF, and OFF states. Low Speed Clocking The MSD50NBT has an 32.768 KHz oscillator that provide slow clock for BT to get deep sleep mode. Interface Clock The host interface clock represents another clock domain for the MSD50NBT. This clock comes from the SDIO and is independent from the other internal clocks. It drives the host interface logic as well as certain registers which can be accessed by the host in HOST_OFF and SLEEP states. MAC/BB/RF Block The MSD50NBT Wireless MAC consists of five major blocks:  Host interface unit (HIU) for bridging to the AHB for bulk data accesses and APB for register accesses  Ten queue control units (QCU) for transferring TX data  Ten DCF control units (DCU) for managing channel access  Protocol control unit (PCU) for interfacing to baseband DMA receive unit (DRU) for transferring RX data Baseband Block The MSD50NBT baseband module (BB) is the physical layer controller for the 802.11b/g/n air interface. It is responsible for modulating data packets in the transmit direction and detecting and demodulating data packets in the receive direction. It has a direct control interface to the radio to enable hardware to adjust analog gains and modes dynamically. Clock Sharing Clock sharing is implemented on the MSD50NBT. The Bluetooth chip (CSR8811) receives a reference clock from Wi-Fi chip (QCA6004). When Wi-Fi is in power off/reset state, no 26MHz reference clock is available; therefore, bluetooth is also off.

All Rights Reserved Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852 2923 0610 BLUETOOTH FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The MSD50NBT Bluetooth (BT) block is based on CSR8811A08 and described in the following table (Table 4). Table 4: Bluetooth functions Feature Description HCI-UART Interface The UART Interface is a standard high-speed UART interface. It operates up to 4 Mbps, supporting Bluetooth HCI UART interface. PCM or I2S Interface  Continuous PCM encoded audio data transmission and reception over Bluetooth.  Processor overhead reduction through hardware support for continual transmission and reception of PCM data.  A bidirectional digital audio interface that routes directly into the baseband layer of the firmware. It does not pass through the HCI protocol layer.  Hardware on CSR8811 for sending data to and from a SCO connection.  Up to three SCO connections on the PCM interface at any one time.  PCM interface master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK.  PCM interface slave, accepting externally generated PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK.  Various clock formats including:  *Long Frame Sync  *Short Frame Sync  GCI timing environments  13-bit or 16-bit linear, 8-bit μ-law or A-law companded sample formats.  Receives and transmits on any selection of three of the first four slots following PCM_SYNC.  The PCM configuration options are enabled by setting SKEY_PCM_CONFIG32. CPU and Memory The CSR8811 uses a 16-bit RISC MCU for low power consumption and efficient use of memory. The MCU, interrupt controller, and event timer run the Bluetooth software stack and control the Bluetooth radio and host interfaces.

56 KB of on-chip RAM is provided to support the RISC MCU and is shared between the

ring buffers used to hold voice/data for each active connection and the general- purpose memory required by the Bluetooth stack. 5 Mb of Internal ROM memory is available on the CSR8811. This memory is provided for system firmware, storing CSR8811 settings and program code. Build-in Standard WLAN Coexistence The MSD50NBT supports internally the standard WLAN coexistence interface through the WLAN_ACTIVE, BT_PRIORITY, and BT_ACTIVE pins. Reference Clock The BT block is configured for 26 MHz reference clock frequency. The clock source is provided to BT internally from the WLAN block on demand from BT_CLK_REQ. Note: The WLAN block must be initialized prior before BT clock sharing is enabled. BT Low Energy The MSD50NBT supports Low Energy specification which allows for connection to devices with single mode LE function (such as a watch, sensor, and HID). The implementation is optimized for coexistence with WLAN. Reset The pin BT_RST_L resets and powers down the BT block. Holding the BT_RST_L pin at GND turns off the entire BT block; all state information is lost. To ensure a full reset, the reset signal should be asserted for a period greater than 5 ms.

All Rights Reserved Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852 2923 0610 Feature Description Radio The BT radio shares the single antenna port with the WLAN through an internal 3-way RF switch. The MSD50NBT implements WLAN/BT coexistence internally. VDDIO is to set the I/O voltage internally with either 1.8 V or 3.3 V to ensure same voltage level for the internal Wi-Fi and BT coexistence signal. Refer to the reference design specifications for details. BT_WAKEUP_HOST Pin-12 on MSD50NBT is reserved for BT to wake host from deep sleep mode. Current s/w may not support it. Contact Laird for more information. VDDIO Pin-21 on MSD50NBT is WLAN Host IO (SDIO) power supply input. Can be either 1.8V or 3.3V.

All Rights Reserved Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852 2923 0610 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS Module dimensions of MSD50NBT are 16x16x2.5mm. Detail drawings are shown in Figure 5. Figure 5: Module dimension of MSD50NBT (version 1.1) Note: The Wi-Fi MAC address is located on the product label. The BT MAC address is always be numerically subsequent to the Wi-Fi MAC address. Therefore, the BT MAC address is Wi-Fi MAC address plus one. MOUNTING The MSD50NBT connects to the host via a 60-pin connector. In addition, there are three mounting holes used to secure the device to the host using 2 mm mounting screws. Laird recommends a 1.5 mm metal spacer (bushing) with a conductive mounting screw to connect the exposed ground pads of the radio circuit board to the host ground plane. A 1.5 mm conductive metal spacer with a maximum OD of 4 mm maximizes grounding of the radio and helps to reduce emissions from the radio circuit board. The spacer may also prevent the MSD board from slanting and breaking the connection to the host device when the board is attached to the host. SiP 15x15
