The device incorporates three internal DC2DCs (switched-mode power supplies) to provide efficient internal supplies, derived from VBAT.
The correct power-up and shut-down sequences must be followed to avoid damage to the device.
While VBAT or VIO or both are deasserted, no signals should be driven to the device. The only exception is the slow clock that is a fail-safe I/O.
While VBAT, VIO, and slow clock are fed to the device, but WL_EN is deasserted (low), the device is in SHUTDOWN state. In SHUTDOWN state all functional blocks, internal DC2DCs, clocks, and LDOs are disabled.
To perform the correct power-up sequence, assert (high) WL_EN. The internal DC2DCs, LDOs, and clock start to ramp and stabilize. Stable slow clock, VIO, and VBAT are prerequisites to the assertion of one of the enable signals.
To perform the correct shut-down sequence, deassert (low) WL_EN while all the supplies to the device (VBAT, VIO, and slow clock) are still stable and available. The supplies to the chip (VBAT and VIO) can be deasserted only after both enable signals are deasserted (low).
Figure 5-2 shows the general power scheme for the module, including the powerdown sequence.
The SDIO is the host interface for WLAN. The interface between the host and the WL18xx module uses an SDIO interface and supports a maximum clock rate of 50 MHz.
The device SDIO also supports the following features of the SDIO V3 specification:
Figure 5-6 and Figure 5-7 show the SDIO switching characteristics over recommended operating conditions and with the default rate for input and output.
Table 5-1 lists the SDIO default timing characteristics.

The device incorporates a UART module dedicated to the Bluetooth shared-transport, host controller interface (HCI) transport layer. The HCI interface transports commands, events, and ACL between the Bluetooth device and its host using HCI data packets acting as a shared transport for all functional blocks except WLAN.
WLAN | SHARED HCI FOR ALL FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS EXCEPT WLAN | BLUETOOTH VOICE-AUDIO |
---|---|---|
WLAN HS SDIO | Over UART | Bluetooth PCM |
The HCI UART supports most baud rates (including all PC rates) for all fast-clock frequencies up to a maximum of 4 Mbps. After power up, the baud rate is set for 115.2 kbps, regardless of the fast-clock frequency. The baud rate can then be changed using a VS command. The device responds with a Command Complete Event (still at 115.2 kbps), after which the baud rate change occurs.
HCI hardware includes the following features:
Table 5-3 lists the UART default settings.
PARAMETER | VALUE |
---|---|
Bit rate | 115.2 kbps |
Data length | 8 bits |
Stop bit | 1 |
Parity | None |
The interface includes four signals:
Flow control between the host and the device is byte-wise by hardware.
When the UART RX buffer of the device passes the flow-control threshold, the buffer sets the UART_RTS signal high to stop transmission from the host. When the UART_CTS signal is set high, the device stops transmitting on the interface. If HCI_CTS is set high in the middle of transmitting a byte, the device finishes transmitting the byte and stops the transmission.
Figure 5-10 shows the UART timing.
