1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the advanced IEEE 802.11 b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth
combo module - AW-NM372SM. The module is targeted to mobile and embedded devices which
need small footprint package, low power consumption, and multiple OS support. The module
supports 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11n MAC/baseband/radio, and Bluetooth 5.1 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 AW-NM372SM support 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS). The host interface is
SDIO v2.0 interface.
For Bluetooth operation, the AW-NM372SM is Bluetooth Core Specification 5.1 compliance. 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 5.1 compliance features including secure
simple pairing, sniff subrating, and encryption pause and resume and supports Bluetooth 5.1
compliance LE Secure Connections. 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.
