PIN DESCRIPTIONS
(*) indicates that pin is capable of bidirectional operation, but is used as the type shown.
All digital I/O signals use 1.8V logic. If the host microcontroller does not support 1.8V
logic, then level shifters MUST be used.
There is an ini file that contains WLAN radio parameters which are critical to both the RF performance
and EMC compliance of the module.
The ini file available on the LSR website is only intended to be used with the LSR WLAN Eval Tool.
Note that this ini file will not work when using the TiWi-R2 module in normal operation which typically
involves an operating system. To use the TiWi-R2 module in normal operation, refer to specifics
contained in the TiWi Family INI File Radio Parameter User Guide which is also available for download
on the LSR website.
The settings specified in the appropriate ini file must be used to operate the module in compliance with
the modular certification for FCC or ETSI. There is a unique ini file for operating the module in
compliance with FCC regulations, and a different ini file for operating the module in compliance with the
ETSI regulations.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The majority of these characteristics are based on controlling and conditioning the tests using the TiWi-
R2 control software application. Other control conditions may require these values to be re-
characterized by the customer.
1. Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device and are not
covered by the warranty. These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these or any other
conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-
maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. All parameters are measured as follows unless stated otherwise: VDD_IN=1.8V, VDDIO_1.8V=1.8V,
VDD_LDO_CLASS1P5=3.6V
3. Analog pins: XTALP, XTALM, RFIOBT, DRPWRXBM, DRPWRXBP, DRPWTXB, and also FMRFINP, FMRFINM,
FMRFINM, FMAUDLIN, FMAUDRIN, FMAUDLOUT, FMAUDROUT
4. The following signals are from the VBAT group, PMS_VBAT and VDD_LDO_CLASS1P5 (if BT class 1.5 direct VBAT is
used).
5. Maximum allowed depends on accumulated time at that voltage; 4.8V for 7 years lifetime, 5.5V for 6 hours cumulative.
6. The device can be reliably operated for 5,000 active-WLAN cumulative hours at TA of 85oC.

Conditions
The following sequence describes device power-up from shutdown. Only the WLAN Core is enabled; the
Bluetooth and FM cores are disabled.
1. No signals are allowed on the IO pins if no IO power is supplied, because the IOs are not 'fail safe’.
Exceptions are CLK_REQ_OUT, SLOWCLK, XTALP, and AUD_xxx, which are failsafe and can
tolerate external voltages with no VDDS and DC2DC".
3. Twakeup = T1 + T2
The duration of T1 is defined as the time from WL_EN=high until F REF is valid for the SoC. T1=~55ms
Notes:
1. The DC2DC(1.8V) signal can be monitored on BT_FUNC2 Module Pin (#41)
2. DC_REQ and CLK_REQ are internal signals shown for reference only
Figure 4 TiWi-R2 Module Power-down Sequence Requirements
1. DC_REQ will go low only if WLAN is the only core working. Otherwise if another core is working (e.g
BT) it will stay high.
2. CLK_REQ will go low only if WLAN is the only core working. Otherwise if another core is working and
using the FREF (e.g BT) it will stay high.
3. If WLAN is the only core that is operating, WL_EN must remain de-asserted for at least 64sec
before it is re-asserted.
The following sequence describes device power up from shutdown. Only the Bluetooth core is enabled;
the WLAN core is disabled.
Notes:
1. (A) After this sequence is completed, the device is in the low VIO-leakage state while in shutdown
2. The DC2DC(1.8V) signal can be monitored on BT_FUNC2 Module Pin (#41)
3. DC_REQ, CLK_REQ, and FREF are internal signals shown for reference only
Figure 5 Bluetooth Power-up Sequence
Power up requirements:
1. No signals are allowed on the IO pins if no IO power supplied, because the IOs are not 'failsafe'.
Exceptions are CLK_REQ_OUT, SLOWCLK, XTALP, and AUD_xxx, which are failsafe and can
tolerate external voltages with no VDDS and DC2DC.
Notes:
1. The DC2DC(1.8V) signal can be monitored on BT_FUNC2 Module Pin (#41)
2. DC_REQ and CLK_REQ are internal signals shown for reference only
Figure 6 Bluetooth Power-down Sequence
The TiWi-R2 module indicates completion of Bluetooth power up sequence by asserting HCI_RTS low.
This occurs up to 100 ms after BT_EN goes high.
ENABLE SCHEME
The module has 3 enable pins, one for each core: WL_EN, and BT_EN and FM_EN. Presently, there are 2
modes of active operation now supported: WLAN and Bluetooth. It is recommended that the FM_EN pin be
grounded to disable the FM section. It is also recommended that the FM section be disabled by Bluetooth HCI
commands.
1. Each core is operated independently by asserting each signal EN to Logic '1’. In this mode it is possible to
control each core asynchronously and independently.
2. Bluetooth mode operation. WLAN will be operated through WL_EN asynchronously and independently of
Bluetooth.
IRQ OPERATION
2. During firmware initialization, the WLAN_IRQ is configured by the SDIO module; a WLAN_IRQ changes
its state to 1.
b. After the host is available, depending on the interrupt priority and other host tasks, it masks the
firmware interrupt. The WLAN_IRQ line returns to 1 (0-to-1 transition on the WLAN_IRQ line).
c. The host reads the internal register status to determine the interrupt sources - the register is
cleared after the read.
d. The host processes in sequence all the interrupts read from this register
4. The host is ready to receive another interrupt from the WLAN device.
The slow clock is always supplied from an external source. It is input on the SLOW_CLK pin, and can be a digital
signal in the range of VIO only. For slow clock frequency and accuracy refer to Table 14. The external slow clock
must be stable before the system exits from shut down mode.
SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
Note: The quality of solder joints on the castellations (‘half vias’) where they contact the
host board should meet the appropriate IPC Specification. See IPC-A-610-D Acceptability
of Electronic Assemblies, section 8.2.4 Castellated Terminations.”
