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.

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.

2-4. 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.

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

7. Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Country Code selection feature to be disabled for products marketed to the US/CANADA
- 17 -
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and
users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,
3) For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11
for 2.4G band by supplied firmware programming tool. 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.
