1. Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the advanced IEEE 802.11 b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth

combo module - AW-NM512. 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 5.0 compliance. 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-NM512, 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-NM512. In

addition to the support of WPA/WPA2/WPA3 and WEP encryption, the AW-NM512 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-NM512 support 802.11e Quality

of Service (QoS). The host interface is SDIO v2.0 interface.

For Bluetooth operation, the AW-NM512 is Bluetooth 5.0 compliant. The Bluetooth transmitter also

features a Class 1 power amplifier. The AW-NM512 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 5.0 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.
