Section One: Introduction

1. Introduction

Project Name: 802.11a/b/g/n (2x2) card based on IC BCM43224 with BGA package.

The typical use model for this embedded device is to allow the client device to be

connected to an 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 wireless network with infrastructure mode or to

serve as an ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) data path.

1.1 Scope

The Wireless BCM43224 is an available 11n solution in the 2.4/5GHz band, compatible with the IEEE

802.11a/b/g/n. The 802.11 a/g data rate provides for 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6Mbps, and 802.11b data rate

provides for 11, 5.5, 2, 1Mbps. In addition, 11n provide MCS8~MCS15 for HT20 which PHY data rate up to

150Mbps; also provide MCS8~MCS15 for HT40 with data rate up to 300Mbps.

1.2 Function

• RoHS and Green Compliant.

• 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 based on BCM43224.

• PCI-E Half Mini Supported.

• Module is powered by the host with a 3.3V +/- 10% supply (55mVpp ripple).

• Module’s clock source is provided by the on board XTAL Oscillator of 20 MHz (+/-

10ppm).

• JTAG connector will be provided for FA and debug.
