Datasheet

AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the advanced IEEE 802.11 b/g/n WLAN, Bluetooth, and FM combo module - AW-NM372SM. The module is targeted to mobile and embedded devices which need a small footprint package, low power consumption, and multiple OS support. The module supports 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11n MAC/baseband/radio, and Bluetooth 4.2 functionality. It also features an integrated Power Management Unit (PMU), Power Amplifiers (PAs), and a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to address the needs of mobile devices that require minimal power consumption and compact size. By using AW-NM372SM, 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. Specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements by using AW-NM372SM. In addition to the support of WPA/WPA2 (personal) and WEP encryption, the AW-NM372SM also supports the IEEE 802.11i security standard through AES and TKIP acceleration hardware for faster data encryption. For the video, voice, and multimedia applications the AWNM372SM supports 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS). The host interface is SDIO v2.0 interface. For Bluetooth operation, the AW-NM372SM is Bluetooth 4.2 compliant. The Bluetooth transmitter also features a Class 1 power amplifier. The AW-NM372SM supports extended Synchronous Connections (eSCO), for enhanced voice quality by allowing for retransmission of dropped packets, and Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) for reducing radio frequency interference. It also incorporates all Bluetooth 4.2 features including Secure Simple Pairing, Sniff Subrating, and Encryption Pause and Resume. An independent, high-speed UART is provided for the Bluetooth host interface. The Bluetooth subsystem presents a standard Host Controller Interface (HCI) via a high-speed UART and PCM for audio. For FM receiver, the AW-NM372SM is 76-MHz to 108-MHz FM bands supported and supports the European Radio Data Systems (RDS) and the North American Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS) modulations. The FM subsystem supports the HCI control interface as well as I2S interfaces of the Bluetooth subsystem.
