1. Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device and are not
covered by the warranty. These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these or any other
conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-
maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. All parameters are measured as follows unless stated otherwise: VDD_IN=1.8V, VDDIO_1.8V=1.8V,
VDD_LDO_CLASS1P5=3.6V
3. Analog pins: XTALP, XTALM, RFIOBT, DRPWRXBM, DRPWRXBP, DRPWTXB, and also FMRFINP, FMRFINM,
FMRFINM, FMAUDLIN, FMAUDRIN, FMAUDLOUT, FMAUDROUT
4. The following signals are from the VBAT group, PMS_VBAT and VDD_LDO_CLASS1P5 (if BT class 1.5 direct VBAT is
used).

WLAN POWER-UP SEQUENCE
The following sequence describes device power-up from shutdown. Only the WLAN Core is enabled; the
Bluetooth and FM cores are disabled.
Figure 3 Power-up Sequence
Requirements
1. No signals are allowed on the IO pins if no IO power is supplied, because the IOs are not 'failsafe’.
Exceptions are CLK_REQ_OUT, SLOWCLK, XTALP, and AUD_xxx, which are failsafe and can
tolerate external voltages with no VDDS and DC2DC".
2. VBAT, VIO, and SLOWCLK must be available before WL_EN.
3. Twakeup = T1 + T2
The duration of T1 is defined as the time from WL_EN=high until Fref is valid for the SoC. T1=~55ms
The duration of T2 depends on:
Operating system
– Host enumeration for the SDIO/WSPI
– PLL configuration
– Firmware download
– Releasing the core from reset
– Firmware initialization

Notes:
1. The DC2DC(1.8V) signal can be monitored on BT_FUNC2 Module Pin (#41)
2. DC_REQ and CLK_REQ are internal signals shown for reference only
Figure 4 Module Power-down Sequence
Requirements
1. DC_REQ will go low only if WLAN is the only core working. Otherwise if another core is working
(e.g
BT) it will stay
high.
2. CLK_REQ will go low only if WLAN is the only core working. Otherwise if another core is working and
using the FREF (e.g BT) it will stay high.
3. If WLAN is the only core that is operating, WL_EN must remain de-asserted for at least 64sec
before it is re-asserted.

The following sequence describes device power up from shutdown. Only the Bluetooth core is enabled;
the WLAN core is disabled.
Notes:
1. (A) After this sequence is completed, the device is in the low VIO-leakage state while in shutdown
2. The DC2DC(1.8V) signal can be monitored on BT_FUNC2 Module Pin (#41)
3. DC_REQ, CLK_REQ, and FREF are internal signals shown for reference only

1. No signals are allowed on the IO pins if no IO power supplied, because the IOs are not 'failsafe'.
Exceptions are CLK_REQ_OUT, SLOWCLK, XTALP, and AUD_xxx, which are failsafe and can
tolerate external voltages with no VDDS and DC2DC.
2. VDDS and SLOWCLK must be stable before releasing BT_EN.
3. Fast clock must be stable maximum 55 ms after BT_EN goes HIGH.

USER MANUAL
Page16of29
ENABLE SCHEME
The module has 3 enable pins, one for each core: WL_EN, and BT_EN and FM_EN. Presently, there are 2
modes of active operation now supported: WLAN and Bluetooth. It is recommended that the FM_EN pin be
grounded to disable the FM section. It is also recommended that the FM section be disabled by Bluetooth HCI
commands.
1. Each core is operated independently by asserting each EN signal to Logic '1'. In this mode it is possible to
control each core asynchronously and independently.
2. Bluetooth mode operation. WLAN will be operated through WL_EN asynchronously and independently of
Bluetooth.
IRQ OPERATION
1. The default state of the WLAN_IRQ prior to firmware initialization is 0.
2. During firmware initialization, the WLAN_IRQ is configured by the SDIO module; a WLAN_IRQ changes
its state to 1.
3. A WLAN firmware interrupt is handled as follows:
a. The WLAN firmware creates an Interrupt-to-Host, indicated by a 1-to-0 transition on the
WLAN_IRQ line (host must be configured as active-low or falling-edge
detect).
b. After the host is available, depending on the interrupt priority and other host tasks, it masks the
firmware interrupt. The WLAN_IRQ line returns to 1 (0-to-1 transition on the WLAN_IRQ line).
c. The host reads the internal register status to determine the interrupt sources - the register is
cleared after the read.
d. The host processes in sequence all the interrupts read from this register
e. The host unmasks the firmware interrupts.
4. The host is ready to receive another interrupt from the WLAN device.

SLOW (32 KHZ) CLOCK SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
The slow clock is always supplied from an external source. It is input on the SLOW_CLK pin, and can be a digital
signal in the range of VIO only. For slow clock frequency and accuracy refer to Table 14. The external slow clock
must be stable before the system exits from shut down mode.

SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended Reflow Profile for Lead Free Solder
Note: The quality of solder joints on the castellations (‘half vias’) where they contact the
host board should meet the appropriate IPC Specification. See IPC-A-610-D Acceptability
of Electronic Assemblies, section 8.2.4 Castellated Terminations.”

CLEANING
In general, cleaning the populated modules is
strongly discouraged. Residuals under the
module cannot be easily removed with any
cleaning process.
Cleaning with water can lead to capillary
effects where water is absorbed into the gap
between the host board and the module.
The combination of soldering flux residuals
and encapsulated water could lead to short
circuits between neighboring pads. Water
could also damage any stickers or labels.
Cleaning with alcohol or a similar organic
solvent will likely flood soldering flux
residuals into the RF shield, which is not
accessible for post-washing inspection. The
solvent could also damage any stickers or
labels.
Ultrasonic cleaning could damage the
module permanently.
OPTICAL INSPECTION
After soldering the Module to the host board,
consider optical inspection to check the
following:
Proper alignment and centering of the
module over the pads.
Proper solder joints on all pads.
Excessive solder or contacts to neighboring
pads, or vias.
REWORK
The module can be unsoldered from the host
board if the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)
requirements are met as described in this
datasheet.
Never attempt a rework on the
module itself, e.g. replacing
individual components. Such actions
will terminate warranty coverage.
HANDLING, AND STORAGE Shipping
Handling
The modules contain a highly sensitive
electronic circuitry. Handling without proper
ESD protection may destroy or damage the
module permanently. ESD protection may
destroy or damage the module permanently.
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)
