Electrical Specifications
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:

M.2 power pins
The module is fed by 3.3 V aux rail. 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:
3.3.2
Connecting active signals to the input pins is not allowed unless a power supply is
provided to the power rails pins.
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.

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.

Electrical Specifications
Note:
PCIe L1 states and LTR are supported by the NIC but also require platform support and
BIOS enablement. For Linux based OSes, check what is supported by specific OS/Platform
combination. For HSW-ULT L1 off is supported, and most likely LTR.
3.4.3.1
T_power_on_scale value in “L1 PM Substates Control 2
Register”
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.

W_DISABLE#_2 (pin 54) is the HW RF kill for the Bluetooth radio.
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.

Host Interface Description
4.1
PCIe* interface
The product supports the PCIe interface as implemented in the M.2 form factor cards.
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.

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
5.2.1
StP2 shall have silicon protection mechanism (CT-kill).
Thermal silicon protection will not be activated below 85 ºC T-shield temperature.
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.

Thermal NIC placement recommendations
The two main NIC heat dispersal methods are from the RF shield and through the screws that ground
the PCB to the chassis.
Correct NIC placement will ensure optimal thermal performance:


NIC orientation should be shield up.
M.2 NIC connection to chassis should be with a single metal screw.

NOTES: Reference antenna gain: Max. 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.

Wireless Features and Properties
13.1
HW RF kill considerations
If for some reason the platform doesn't support HW signal for wireless disable, Intel recommends not
connecting any signal to the wireless disable pins on the module.
13.2
Data transmission
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then passed down through the MAC,
through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. 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
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:
√
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.
