- 3 - 1. General Description 1-1. Product Overview and Functional Description AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n 1X1 WLAN & Bluetooth module --- AW-CM299. The module is targeted to mobile devices including Notebook, TV, Tablet and Gaming Device which need small package module, low power consumption, multiple interfaces and OS support. By using AW-CM299, the customers can easily enable the Wi-Fi, and BT embedded applications with the benefits of high design flexibility, short development cycle, and quick time-to-market. Compliance with the IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n standard, the AW-CM299 uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies. A high level of integration and full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements by using AW-CM286NF. In addition to the support of WPA/WPA2 and WEP 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, the AW-CM299 also supports the IEEE 802.11i security standard through the implementation of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)/Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP), Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)/Cipher-Based Message Authentication Code (CMAC), and WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) security mechanisms. For the video, voice and multimedia applications the AW-CM286NF support 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS). The device also supports 802.11h Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for detecting radar pulses when operating in the 5GHz range. For Bluetooth operation, AW-CM299 is Bluetooth 4.2 (supports Low Energy). AW-CM299 supports SDIO for WLAN and BT to the host processor. AW-CM299 module adopts Marvell’s latest highly-integrated dual-band WLAN & Bluetooth SoC---88W8887. All the other components are implemented by all means to reach the mechanical specification required.

- 9 - 2-3.Clock Specifications 2-3-1 External Sleep Clock Timing External Sleep Clock is necessary for two reasons: 1. Auto frequency Detection. This is where the internal logic will bin the Ref clock source to figure out what is the reference clock frequency is. This is done so no strapping is needed for telling 8887 what the ref clock input is. 2. Allow low current modes for BT to enter sleep modes such as sniff modes. The AW-CM299 external sleep clock pin is powered from the 1.8V voltage supply.

Reset Configuration The AW-CM299 is reset to its default operating state under the following conditions:  Power-on reset (POR)  Software/Firmware reset  External pin reset (RESETn) 2-4-1. Internal Reset The AW-CM299 device is reset, and the internal CPU begins the boot sequence when any of the following internal reset events occur:  Device receives power and VDDL supplies rise (triggers internal POR circuit)  External pin (PDn) assertion will generate POR 2-4-2. External Reset The AW-CM299 is reset when PDn pin is asserted low and the internal CPU begins the boot sequence when the PDn pin transitions from low to high.
- 10 - 3. Host Interfaces 3-1. SDIO Interface The AW-CM299 supports a SDIO device interface that conforms to the industry standard SDIO Full-Speed card specification and allows a host controller using the SDIO bus protocol to access the Wireless module device. The AW-CM299 acts as the device on the SDIO bus. The host unit can access registers of the SDIO interface directly and can access shared memory in the device through the use of BARs and a DMA engine. The SDIO device interface main features include: Supports SDIO 3.0 Standard On-chip memory used for CIS Supports SPI, 1-bit SDIO, and 4-bit SDIO transfer modes Special interrupt register for information exchange Allows card to interrupt host 3-1-1.

OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change. As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed IMPORTANT NOTE In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. End Product Labeling This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: TLZ-CM299”. Manual Information to the End User The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
