2.2.5 Clock Circuitries
The GS1500M architecture uses a low-power oscillator (i.e. 32 kHz) to provide a minimal subset of
functions when the chip is in its low-power deep sleep mode, and a high-speed 44 MHz oscillator to
provide clock signals for the processors, bus, and interfaces during active operation. Intermediate modes
of operation, in which the 44 MHz oscillator is active but some modules are inactive, are obtained by
gating the clock signal to different subsystems. The Clock & Reset Controller, within the device, is
responsible for generation, selection and gating of the clocks used in the module to reduce power
consumption in various power states.
2.2.5.1 Real Time Clock (RTC)
2.2.5.2 Overview
To provide global time (and date) to the system, the GS1500M Chip is equipped with a low-power Real
Time Clock (RTC).
RTC key features include:
► 32.768 kHz crystal support.
► Two external alarm inputs to wake up the device.
► Two programmable periodic outputs (one for a DC/DC regulator and one for a sensor).
► Embedded 128x32 non-volatile (battery-powered) RAM.
► Embedded Power On Reset.
► Real Time Counter (48 bits; 46 bits effective).
An overview of RTC block diagram is shown in Figure 2-3. The RTC contains a low-power oscillator
that can use 32.768 kHz crystals. In normal operation the RTC is always powered up, even in the Power
Up state (see Figure 2-3).
Two programmable embedded alarm counters (wrap-around) are provided to enable periodic wake-up of
the remainder of the system, and one independent external component (typically a sensor). Two external
alarm inputs enable wake-up of the system on external events. The global times are recorded on each
external event and if the system is in the Power-ON state (see Figure 2-8), an interrupt is provided. The
RTC includes a Power-On Reset (POR) circuit, to eliminate the need for an external component. The
RTC contains low-leakage non-volatile (battery-powered) RAM, to enable storage of data that needs to
be preserved.
Total current consumption of the RTC in the worst case is typically less than 5 µA without data storage,
using the 32.768 kHz oscillator.

GS1500M DATA SHEET
Figure 2-2: RTC Interface Diagram
Resolution of the wake-up timer is one clock cycle, and, with onboard 32KHz. CLK, each 32bit effective
register can provide up to 1.5 days worth of standby duration as the longest standby period. Polarity of
the rtc_out1 pin is programmable.
2.2.5.3 Real Time Counter
The Real Time Counter features:
► 48-bit length (with absolute duration dependent on the crystal frequency used).
► Low-power design.
This counter is automatically reset by power-on-reset.
This counter wraps around (returns to “all-0” once it has reached the highest possible “all-1” value).
2.2.5.4 RTC Outputs
There are two RTC outputs (dc_dc_cntl and rtc_out1) that can be used to control external devices, such
as sensors or voltage regulators. For more information, consult the GS1011 Peripheral and Register
Description [2] and GS1011 IC data sheet [3] for detailed descriptions.
PRELIMINARY
GAINSPAN CONFIDENTIAL
PAGE 12 OF 43
GS1500M DATA SHEET
2.2.5.4.1 DC_DC_CNTL
During Power-on-Reset (e.g. when the battery is connected), the dc_dc_cntl pin is held low; it goes high
to indicate completion of RTC power-on-reset. This pin can be used as an enable into an external device
such as voltage regulator. For more information, consult the GS1011 Peripheral and Register Description
[2] and GS1011 IC data sheet [3] for detailed descriptions.
2.2.5.4.2 RTC_OUT1
The rtc_out1 signal can be disabled or driven by the Wake-up Counter 2. This counter is 34 bits long,
and operates in the same fashion as Wake-up Counter 1. The rtc_out1 signal can be configured to output
the low-power crystal oscillator clock (i.e. the 32 kHz clock) instead of a simple state transition. Wakeup Counter 2 is automatically reset at Power-on-Reset. For more information, consult the GS1011
Peripheral and Register Description [2] and GS1011 IC data sheet [3] for detailed descriptions.
2.2.5.5 RTC Alarm Inputs 1 and 2
The RTC inputs alarm1 and alarm2 operate as follows:
► dc_dc_cntl is set to “1” (typically enabling the power supply to the rest of the GS1011) whenever
either of these inputs changes state.
► The RTC counter value is stored each time either of these inputs changes state.
The inputs alarm1 and alarm2 have programmable polarity. Their task is to wake up the system (by
setting dc_dc_cntl output pin to “1”) when an external event occurs. For more information, consult the
GS1011 Peripheral and Register Description [2] and GS1011 IC data sheet [3] for detailed descriptions.
2.3
Peripherals
Note: For register identification and additional details on the use of shared peripherals, refer to the
GS1011 Peripheral and Register Description [3].
2.3.1 SPI
There are two general-purpose SPI interfaces (each configurable as master or slave) for external sensors,
memory, or external CPU interface; one interface may be configured as a high-speed Slave-only. The
master SPI block provides dual synchronous serial communication interfaces. The Master SPI block can
be used in one of two modes of operations: as a serial master or a serial slave. Each block provides
synchronous serial communication with slave or master devices, using one of the following protocols:
► Motorola Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
► Texas Instruments Synchronous Serial Protocol (SSP).
► National Semiconductor Microwire Protocol.
Only Motorola Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) timing is shown in this data sheet; however, National
Semiconductor Microwire Protocol or Texas Instruments Synchronous Serial Protocol (SSP) modes are
certainly supported. The SPI interface can also be used to access non-volatile external memory, such as
an EEPROM block. The interface uses the SPI master mode to allow easy connection to industrystandard EEPROMs.
The shared SPI blocks provide the following general features:
► 32-bit AMBA APB interface to allow access to data, control, and status information by the host
processor.
► Full-duplex serial-master or serial-slave operation.
PRELIMINARY
GAINSPAN CONFIDENTIAL
PAGE 13 OF 43
GS1500M DATA SHEET
► Two clock design:
•
APB bus clock for bus interface and registers.
•
Serial input clock for core logic.
► Support of external EEPROM or other non-volatile memory.
► Programmable choice of Motorola SPI, Texas Instruments Synchronous Serial Protocol or
National Semiconductor Microwire.
► Programmable control of the serial bit rate of the data transfer in serial-master mode of operation.
► Programmable phase and polarity of the bit rate clock.
► Programmable transfer modes to perform transmit and receive, transmit only, receive only and
EEPROM read transfers.
► Programmable data word size (8, 16, 24 & 32 bits) for each data transfer.
► Transmit and receive FIFO buffer depth 8 words (of the selected size).
► Configurable number of slave select outputs in serial-master mode of operation: 1 to 4 serial slave-
select output signals can be generated.
► Combined interrupt line with independent masking of interrupts.
► Transmit FIFO overflow, transmit FIFO empty, transmit FIFO underflow, receive FIFO full,
receive FIFO underflow, receive FIFO overflow, and receive FIFO timeout interrupts.
► Transmit FIFO empty and receive FIFO full interrupts provide programmable threshold values.
Both SPI blocks are configured to provide a FIFO depth of four entries.
The SPI master interface can be used to access external sensor devices, and EEPROM containing system
parameters, under software control while the SPI slave interface can be used to provide control of the
GS1500M from an external CPU.
SPI chip select (MPSISI_CS0 or MPSI_CS1) signals frame each data word. If the chip select is required
to remain asserted for multiple data words, then a GPIO pin should be used for the chip select instead of
the SPI chip select signals. For clock architecture and rates, please refer to section 7.1 Clock
Architecture of GS1011 Peripheral and Register Description [2]. For other SPI Interface Timing, please
refer to section 4.7.
2.3.2 I2C
The I2C block provides a two-wire I2C serial interface. It provides the following features:
► 32-bit AMBA APB interface to allow access to data, control, and status Information by the host
processor.
► Serial 2-wire I C bus, compliant to the I C Bus Specification Version 2.1.
► Supports only one transfer in Standard mode (100 Kb/s) and fast speed mode with a bit rate of up
to 392 Kb/s.
► Supports Multi-Master System Architecture through I C bus SCL line Synchronization and
Arbitration.

(VDDIO=3.3V). Other GPIO’s have the capability to sink/source 4 mA typical (VDDIO=3.3V). All
inputs are capable of generating processor interrupts. They can be individually programmed to provide
edge- or level-triggered interrupts. For details on configuring GPIO ports, refer to the GS1011
Peripheral and Register Description [2].
2.3.6 ADC
The ADC is a 10-bit, low-power, A-to-D converter capable of running at up to 32 ksps. The ADC
contains an internal band-gap reference which provides a stable 1.2 V reference voltage. The ADC can
be programmed to use the 1.8 V supply as the full-scale reference. The ADC uses an input clock with a
maximum frequency of 1 MHz. A conversion requires 32 clock cycles.
When the internal band-gap reference is used, the reported integer Value at temperature T (ºC) is related
to the voltage Vactual at the input pin as:
 1.2444 − 0.00014 (25 − T )
Vactual = Value 


1023
When the 1.8V supply voltage is used as the reference, the corresponding relation is:
− 0.036 
V
Vactual = Value  DD, ADC


1023
To reduce power consumption the ADC can be disabled automatically between periodic measurements
and after single measurements.

sheet [3] for detailed descriptions.

System States
Figure 2-8 shows the power management/clock states of the GS1500M system.
Figure 2-3: GS1500M System States
The system states of the GS1500M system are as follows:
Power OFF: No power source connected to the system.
Power Up: When supply voltage is stable and the RTC is powered up, and the system transitions from
the Power OFF state to the Power Up state. In this state only the 32.768 kHz clock is running, and the
RTC is powered directly by the battery or DC supply.
This is the lowest-power-consumption state.
Note: During first battery plug, i.e. when power is applied first time to the RTC power rail (VBAT), the
RTC startup up latency will be at least couple of hundred ms as it is waiting for stabilization of the
32KHz crystal
PRELIMINARY
GAINSPAN CONFIDENTIAL
PAGE 17 OF 43
GS1500M DATA SHEET
System Configuration: When a power-up is requested, the system transitions from the Power Up state
to the System Configuration state. In this state, the WLAN CPU is released from reset by the RTC. The
APP CPU remains in the reset state during System Configuration. The WLAN CPU then executes the
required system configurations, releases the APP CPU from reset, and transitions to the Power-ON state.
The System Configuration state is also entered on transition from the Power-ON state to the Power Up
state, to complete necessary preparations before shutting off the power to the core system. Finally, the
System Configuration state is used for firmware updates.
Power-ON: This is the active state where all system components can be running. The Power-ON state
has various sub-states, in which unused parts of the system can be in sleep mode, reducing power
consumption. Sleep states are implemented by gating the clock signal off for a specific system
component. The Deep-Sleep sub-state, in which all clocks are gated off, allows minimum power
consumption while permitting rapid resumption of normal operation. In this state, the 44 MHz reference
oscillator can be turned off to further reduce power consumption.
For more information, consult the GS1011 Peripheral and Register Description [2] and GS1011 IC data
sheet [3] for detailed descriptions.

Notes:
1.
These pins have onboard hardware configured pull-ups/downs and cannot be changed by software.
2.
If UART1_RTS is high during boot, then the WLAN will wait for Flash download via UART0. For
development purposes, route this pin to a test point on the board so it can be pulled up to VIN_3V3.
3.
GPIO 28 and 29 are sampled at reset to establish JTAG configuration for debugging. These signals should
not be driven from an external device. If using JTAG, configure these pins as outputs.
4.
If I C interface is used, provide 2K Ohm pull-ups, to VDDIO, for pins 25 and 26 (I2C_CLK and I2C_DATA)

7 Regulatory Notes
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: To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded interface cables when
connecting to computer or peripheral devices). 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:
FCC & IC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC & IC 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.
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.
As long as 2 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 (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral
requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain
laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC & IC authorizations
are no longer considered valid and the FCC & IC IDs cannot 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 separate FCC & IC authorizations.
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 (for example access points, routers,
wireless ADSL modems, and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in a visible area
with the corresponding FCC ID number.

GAINSPAN CONFIDENTIAL
PAGE 40 OF 43
GS1500M DATA SHEET
IC Certification — Canada
The labeling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC. A visible label on the
outside of the final product must display the IC labeling. The user is responsible for the end product to
comply with IC ICES-003 (Unintentional radiators)
Manual Information That Must be Included
The user’s manual for end users must include the following in-formation in a prominent location.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC & IC RF exposure compliance requirements, the
antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from
all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Other notes:
GainSpan modules have been built or under development for near body exposure applications.
The 20cm statement is a standard note because absorption rate testing (commonly known as
SAR or Specific absorption rate) is not modularly transferable for FCC/IC. Thus, if a radio is
being used against the body, the end user is still responsible to test for regulatory near body
exposure testing (for USA, please refer to the following):
• FCC Part 1.1037
• FCC Part 2.1091 Mobile Devices
• FCC Part 2.1093 Portable Devices
• FCC Part 15.247 (b) (4)
