Electrical Specifications Intel® Dual Band Wireless - AC 7265 Intel® Dual Band Wireless - N 7265 Intel® Wireless - N 7265 (Stone Peak M.2 2230) External Product Specification (EPS) April 2014 12 Intel Confidential Document Number: 53080-2.0 3 Electrical Specifications This section provides electrical specification information for the product’s hardware. The specification covers the module Hardware Interface Signals, Power Consumption, and DC/AC characteristics. 3.1 PCIe* hardware interface signals The hardware design is based on the PCI Express* Mini Card Electromechanical Specification. Table 3-1 describes the system interface signals. For more details see the PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification. 3.2 M.2 form factor The M.2 form factor (M.2), is the designated codename for the NIC, used for mobile add-in cards. The M.2 is a natural transition from the Mini 5 Card and Half Mini Card to a smaller form factor in both size and volume. M.2 is a form factor that will enable integration of functions into a single module solution. M.2 modules and the corresponding system interconnect based on a 67/49-pin edge card connection scheme and a 69-pad soldered down scheme for system 5 interfaces. Alternative solutions accommodating implementations of on-card antennas or remotely connected off-card antennas are also defined. See the latest M.2 Specification document under the PCISIG releases: http://www.pcisig.com/specifications/pciexpress/review_zone/#M.2 3.3 M.2 hardware interface signals Table 3-1 M.2 pinout 74 3.3V GND 75 72 3.3V N/C 73 70 N/C N/C 71 68 N/C GND 69 66 N/C N/C 67 64 RESERVED N/C 65 62 N/C GND 63 60 N/C N/C 61 58 N/C N/C 59 56 W_DISABLE1# (I)(0/3.3V) GND 57 54 W_DISABLE2# (I)(0/3.3V) PEWake 0# (IO)(0/3.3V) 55 52 PERST0#(I)(0/3.3V) CLKREK0# (IO)(0/3.3V) 53 50 SUSCLK (32kHz) (I)(0/3.3V) GND 51 48 COEX1 (I/O)(0/1.8V) REFCLKN0 49 46 COEX2 (I/O)(0/1.8V) REFCLKP0 47

Pins 2, 4, 72, 74. Generation of PME, reporting status and enabling PME: The M.2 PCIe module uses a PME to request a change from a power savings state (S3/S4) to a fully operational state (full power) -> Wake-up Event (WoME, WoWLAN). Note: Connecting active signals to the input pins is not allowed unless a power supply is provided to the power rails pins. 3.3.2 M.2 power and ripple limits All power pins are connected to a power bus that should be tied to 3.3 v +/- -0.15 v Vaux via the connector. Maximum Rise Time (0v to 3.3 v) shall be up-to 10 mSec. For all voltage rails (3.3 V), Intel recommends not exceeding 200 mVpp ripple in the frequency range of 10-500 KHz.

D3 hot means D3 with PERST# high (de-asserted) and power on. D3 cold means D3 with PERST# low (asserted) and auxiliary power on. Table 3-3 Supported D-states Device power states Description D0 (Uninitiated and Active) Supported D3 (hot and cold) Supported for PCIe 3.4.2 Enabling Ethernet controllers with ASPM ASPM defines the “L” states of the PCIe connections, L0, L0s, L1 and L2; among all those states, L0s has very low power saving vs. high complexity and risk. As a result the StP w/Bluetooth hardware devices shall not support PCI Express* ASPM L0s power state, and shall support the L1 state that has high value as a power saving state. StP supports ASPM optionality ECN, allowing support of L1 without L0s. No special BIOS actions are required. 3.4.3 Intel® Power Optimizer With the Broadwell platform Intel has introduced new initiatives to significantly reduce platform power consumption. The Intel Power Optimizer is a power management framework that allows for usage of deep, long latency platform power management states through new bus extensions.

For Linux based OSes, check what is supported by specific OS/Platform combination. For HSW-ULT L1 off is supported, and most likely LTR. T_power_on_scale value in “L1 PM Substates Control 2 3.4.3.1Register” Current implementation in StP supports only the value of “00” in the T_power_on_scale field (bits 1:0). Other settings are not supported. Details: According to the PCIe standard, the “L1 PM Substates Control 2 Register” (Offset 0Ch) can accept several scale range values. Wilkins Peak supports only the default value of “00b” which indicates range of 2 uSec. Impact: most of the customers take the Intel reference design, which is set by default to “00b” in this field, so no impact. Other customers need to make sure they set the value to “00b”. 3.5 Wireless disable 3.5.1 Wi-Fi RF disable Note: Chrome OS doesn’t support HW RF kill or SW RF kill. Airplane mode for Chrome OS is achieved by detaching the driver from StPA_Supplicant. The W_Disable# input signal on Pin 20 of the mini card system connector and pin 56 on M.2 connector allows the hardware to disable the Wi-Fi RF circuitry. The W_Disable# signal is an active low signal that when driven low by the platform disables Wi-Fi radio operation. The assertion and de-assertion of the W_Disable# signal is asynchronous to any platform clock. All transients resulting from mechanical switches need to be de-bounced by platform circuitry. This signal is capable of: Minimum sink current to ground = 1 mA per card Note: The 1 mA value is taken from the PCI Express Mini Card electrical Specification. However, StP should be able to drive a much lower current when the W_Disable# signal is active low (less than 50 uA). In normal operation, the card must stop any RF activity within seconds after the W_Disable# signal is asserted. The hardware must assure that the disable operation is not dependent on SW state. The card should resume normal operation within seconds of de-assertion of the W_Disable# signal. SW RF kill: StP also supports SW RF kill. The behavior of the SW RF kill is similar to the HW RF kill: all RF activities are terminated, LED is turned off and device goes into low power mode. Note: The Wi-Fi radio will be active only if both HW RF kill pin and SW RF kill mechanism are in “enable” state. The system is required to assure that W_Disable# is in a deterministic state (asserted or de-asserted) whenever power is applied to the card (i.e., whenever either +3.3 V is present). Note: If this signal is not used, Intel recommends not connecting it on the platform level. The internal pull up resistor on this pin is >100 Kohm typical value. The operation of the signal is as follows: Float = Radio is on.

Asserting W_DISABLE#_2 signal will result in a complete shutdown of the Bluetooth part. The result from the user perspective is similar to removing the Bluetooth device from the laptop. The W_DISABLE#_2 internal pull up resistor is ~130 Kohm typical value. 3.5.3 Bluetooth software RF disable StP also supports Bluetooth SW RF kill. The behavior of the SW RF kill is similar to the HW RF kill: all RF activities are terminated, LED is turned off and device goes into low power mode. Note: The BT radio will be active only if both HW RF kill pin and SW RF kill mechanism are in “enable” state. Note: RF kill not supported with Chrome OS. 3.6 LED indicators StP2 products have 2 LEDs signals each: A Bluetooth LED, and a Wi-Fi LED. Bluetooth LED functionality: 1. LED is OFF when the Bluetooth is in HW or SW RF kill (SW RF kill means also driver disable, etc.). 2. LED is ON otherwise. Wi-Fi LED functionality: 1. LED is OFF when the Wi-Fi is not powered or in RF kill. 2. LED is ON otherwise. Note: Chrome OS doesn’t support or require LED for comms. Hence the LED signals should remain disconnected. Note: The LED output pins (for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) are not open drain pins. Therefore, it is not allowed to Wire-Or the two LED pins and connect them to a single LED without glue logic. This is applicable to both StP and Wilkins Peak. §

This host interface supports PCIe version 2.1 features. see the PCIe v2.1 Spec for specific PCIe related data: PCI Express Base 2.1 Specification. 4.1.1 Squelch detect mechanism The Squelch (SQ) detect mechanism in StP may not consistently identify PCH “wake‟ signaling (TS1 symbols) as valid above SQ Max threshold of 175 mV, as defined in the PCIe spec. It is important to follow proper platform design and layout guidelines as defined in the PCIe CEM specification to ensure PCH wake signaling (Electrical Idle Detect Threshold - ‘Vrx-idle-det-diff-p-p’ parameter) in the range of:  65 mV to 280 mV for StP2 Customers should design/plan appropriately for all adapters that may be used in a given platform. 4.1.2 Voltage maximums Maximum PCIe DC voltage should be 3.6 V as specified in the PCIe specification, and maximum spike should not exceed 5.4 V as specified in the JEDEC spec JESD78. 4.1.3 Common clock configuration The PCIe on both the platform side (PCH) and the WLAN NIC side must operate using common clock configuration. Both PCH and WLAN NIC are configured for this by default (bit 6 is set in registers 0x50 and 0xF0). From a hardware perspective, the same reference clock (Refclk) must be used for both the PCH and the Wi-Fi card. Figure 4-1 Common clock configuration

Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 describe the thermal dissipation and targets per operated mode. Table 5-1 Stone Peak 1 thermal dissipation Name Description TDP limit functional targets Worst case TDP shall not be higher than 1400 mW for StP. The worst case TDP shall be based on average power consumption measurement over five minutes with max TCP/IP throughput activity. Table 5-2 Stone Peak 2 thermal dissipation Name Description TDP limit functional targets Worst case TDP shall not be higher than 1650 mW for StP2. The worst case TDP shall be based on average power consumption measurement over five minutes with max TCP/IP throughput activity. Note: Functional modes include all product operation scenarios that can be accessed using end users distribution software (scenarios that may only be exercised using lab or OEM support software tools are not included.) 5.2 Thermal specifications Stone Peak thermal is derived from its components MAC baseband and the radio chipset. Table 5-3 Thermal management Name Description Thermal shield performance targets StP2 shall have full performance at shield temperatures up to 80 ºC. Testing conditions: System environmental conditions: High limit: ~50 ºC under controlled environment (oven), with no air flow (inside a box). Low limit: 0 ºC (starting point) under controlled environment (oven), with no air flow (inside a box). Thermal Silicon protection StP2 shall have silicon protection mechanism (CT-kill). Thermal silicon protection will not be activated below 85 ºC T-shield temperature. 5.2.1 Thermal management and critical shutdown The device thermal management cuts off RF operation once a maximum temperature Critical Temperature termination (CT-Kill) threshold has been exceeded. After the cutoff point is reached, the RF remains at the off position until it cools down to the thermal activation threshold, during which the host cannot set the RF back to on. 5.2.2 Wi-Fi thermal throttling When StP is heating up and nearing CT Kill, StP will start throttling in order to prevent the unit from heating further and reaching critical temperature.

Antenna Gain 3 dBi for 2.4 GHz and 5 dBi for 5 GHz 8.2.3 Channel configuration tables / RF output power The values listed in the power table (EEPROM table) represent the target power for the calibration process without antennae gain. This value has been verified to ensure margin from the regulatory limit based on post EEPROM factory calibration measurements using a diagnostic tool that operates the WLAN card at a ~99% DC (Duty Cycle) taken on both the main and auxiliary antenna ports. As part of the factory test process, Intel measures the output power of every card. Any cards that exceed the maximum limits (EEPROM + 1.25 dB) will not pass the factory test. While in operation the card adjusts TX power using a closed loop TX power calibration algorithm. To do so, a power detector and temperature sensor are used. This algorithm adjusts the power to within +/-0.5 dB from the target, over temperature and voltage. Intel uses the following antennae gain value for product and country certification work: 3 dbi for 2.4 GHz and 5 dBi for 5 GHz. Intel also incorporates a lower limit to ensure that compliance of the WLAN card is maintained. The minimum limits are set by factory process. In MIMO mode this value is the sum limit. Generally if sum=15 then Tx1 limit=12 dBm and Tx2 limit=12 dBm (exception for some channels according to the table below.) Note: The SAR SKU is expected to have similar values to 7260 / Wilkins Peak SAR SKU. It is limited to max output power of 15.0 dBm for the 2.4 GHz band and 13.5 dBm for the 5 GHz band. This is required in order to pass the 0.8 W/kg threshold at 5 mm separation.

This is true for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Several special packets (for Wi-Fi: ACKs, CTS, PS Poll, etc.) are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be “ON” only while one of the packets is transmitted. §

Platform and Host Interface Requirements Intel® Dual Band Wireless - AC 7265 Intel® Dual Band Wireless - N 7265 Intel® Wireless - N 7265 (Stone Peak M.2 2230) April 2014 External Product Specification (EPS) Document Number: 53080-2.0 Intel Confidential 41 14 Platform and Host Interface Requirements 14.1 Host interface directives See Section 4.0. 14.2 Mechanical directives For M.2, see: “PCI EXPRESS M.2 ELECTROMECHANICAL SPECIFICATION” Electricals and Signals connections directives. 14.2.1 Power lines In the HMC case: at least three of the power lines, (+3.3 Vaux), need to be connected, except Pin24 that is not connected on the card laval. The ramp time of the power (0 v to 3.3 v) must not exceed 10 mSec, and should not be based on a level’s ramps. Example: X X √ Notice that there must-not be a glitch on the power supply that is higher than 0.3 v; any glitch that is higher than 0.3 v may cause a power-on reset to the card, and in stand-by mode it means the card shall lose it connection maintenance ability. This is most venerable when the platform switches from “On” state to “Stand-By” state. 14.2.2 PCIe auxiliary signals See Section 3.1.9. 14.2.3 USB signals The BT functionality of the card operated using the USB signals as the host interface bas. As defined by the USB standard, when the platform gets to stand-by mode the card operate its USB in a selective suspend mode. This means that the D+ signal is kept as logical “1” value by an internal pull-up. 14.2.4 Drop and replacement For connected standby platforms that are M.2 compliant platforms and that intend to support Wi-Fi SDIO and BT UART/I2S, Intel Recommends also routing the PCIe for Wi-Fi, and the USB for the BT. This will enable “drop and replacement.” In the future these platforms will be able to include the M.2 PCIe/USB cards instead of SDIO/UART modules. In order to enable the “drop and replacement”, the host connector should be A-SD Key E. 14.2.5 Clink signals The Clink signal are specific for Intel® AMT based platforms; for those that do not support AMT, those signals MUST-NOT be used; and should be kept disconnected on the platform level.
