1. Introduction
3131A-S is a small size and low profile of WiFi module, board size is 12mm*12mm
with module thickness of 1.7mm. It can be easily manufactured on SMT process and
highly suitable for tablet PC, ultra book, mobile device and consumer products. It
providesSDIO interface for WiFi. The WiFi throughput can go up to 150Mbps in theory
by using 1x1 802.11b/g/n SISO technology.
3131A-S uses highly integrated WiFi single chip based on advanced COMS process.
3131A-S integrates whole WiFi function blocks into a chip, such as SDIO/MPU, MAC,
BB, AFE, RFE, PA, EEPROM and LDO/SWR, except fewer passive components
remained on PCB.

8.1 SDIO Pin Description
The module supports SDR12(25MHz) and SDR25(50MHz, dual rates) in addition to the
1.8V default speed(25MHz) and high speed (50 MHz). It has the ability to stop the SDIO
clock and map the interrupt signal into a GPIO pin. This ‘out-of-band’ interrupt signal notifies
the host when the WLAN device wants to turn on the SDIO interface. The ability to force the
control of the gated clocks from within the WLAN chip is also provided.
