This document is intended to assist device manufacturers and related parties with the integration of this radio into their host devices. Data in this document is drawn from a number of sources and includes information found in the Qualcomm Atheros (QCA) AR6003X data sheet issued in January 2010, along with other documents provided from Qualcomm Atheros. The Laird MSD45N is currently in pre-production and this document is preliminary. The information in this document is subject to change. Please contact Laird Technologies or visit http://www.lairdtech.com/wireless to obtain the most recent version of this document. OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION This device is a Laird MSD45N radio module which supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards via an SDIO (Secure Digital Input/Output) interface. The radio operates in unlicensed portions of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio frequency spectrum. The device is compliant with IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n standards using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The device supports all 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n data rates and automatically adjusts data rates and operational modes based on various environmental factors. When operating on channels in the UNII-2 and UNII-2 Extended bands that are in the 5GHz portion of the frequency spectrum and are subject to Dynamic Frequency Selection requirements, the MSD45N fully conforms to applicable regulatory requirements. In the event that specified types of radar are detected by the network infrastructure, the MSD45N fully conforms to commands from the infrastructure for radar avoidance. The MSD45N interfaces to host devices via a 60-pin connector. The device is based on the Qualcomm Atheros AR6003X chip which is an integrated device providing a Media Access Controller (MAC), a Physical Layer Controller (baseband or BB processor), and fully integrated dual-band radio transceiver. To maximize operational range, the MSD45N incorporates external 2.4 and 5 GHz power amplifiers (PA) to increase transmit power. The frequency stability for both 2.4 GHz (802.11b and 802.11g) and 5 GHz (802.11a) operation is +/- 20 ppm. On the interface connector (Molex 60-pin connector; pin 21), an I/O voltage level configuration (either 3.3 V or 1.8 V) is required from the host platform to configure the SDIO bus signal to run at a 3.3 V or 1.8 V signal level. The MSD45N also provides the 3-wire Wi-Fi/BT coexistence signals to ensure the performance of Wi-Fi and BT system when they reside in the same platform. A cellular coexistence filter is implemented on the MSD45N to provide robust performance when implemented with a cellular system. The MSD45N has its own RF shielding and does not require shielding provided by the host device into which it is installed in order to maintain compliance with applicable regulatory standards. As such, the device may be tested in a standalone configuration via an extender card. The device buffers all data inputs so that it will comply with all applicable regulations even in the presence of over-modulated input from the host device. Similarly, the MSD45N incorporates power regulation to comply with all applicable regulations even when receiving excess power from the host device.

An antenna diversity function is NOT supported in this product. Supported host device antenna types include dipole and monopole antennas. Regulatory operational requirements are included with this document and may be incorporated into the operating manual of any device into which the MSD45N is installed. The MSD45N is designed for installation into mobile devices such as vehicle mount data terminals (which typically operate at distances greater than 20 cm from the human body) and portable devices such as handheld data terminals (which typically operate at distances less than 20 cm from the human body). See “Documentation Requirements” for more information. BLOCK DIAGRAM Note: Transmitter frequencies for Wi-Fi are 2412-2462 MHz and 5180-5805 MHz.

Series resistors are recommended in all six SDIO lines (27-56 ohms typically):  SDIO_CLK  SDIO_CMD  SDIO_DATA_0  SDIO_DATA_1  SDIO_DATA_2  SDIO_DATA_3 Also note the following:  Rout the SDIO bus as short and as similar in length as possible.  Keep the clock trace separate from other signal trace. Sharing antenna implementation Note: The current firmware is NOT supported. Note: Although these values may vary with the properties of your host interface and the PCB, they are a reasonable starting point. Note: The series resistors in the SDIO bus provide several design benefits:  If a host controller has too high of a drive strength, then bus ringing may result. Series resistors can reduce this ringing on the I/O lines.  Adding 27-56 ohms of series resistance on the SDIO bus will reduce sharp transitional edges, which may reduce EMI.  Having the series resistors in the PCB layout allows for design flexibility; if they are later found to be unnecessary, zero (0) ohm jumpers may be used in their place. Notes: No pull-up is required on the CLK line. Make sure to apply the proper voltage on the VDD_IO input to the SiP to match the signalling voltage of the SDIO host interface (1.8V or 3.3V typically, but it can be anything in between these values). The SDIO host must wait a minimum of 5 µsec before initiating access to the MSD45N after VCC3_3 ramps up and settles MSD45N

In addition, there are three mounting holes used to secure the device to the host using 2 mm mounting screws. Laird recommends a 1.5 mm metal spacer (bushing) with a conductive mounting screw to connect the exposed ground pads of the radio circuit board to the host ground plane. A 1.5 mm conductive metal spacer with a maximum OD of 4 mm maximizes grounding of the radio and helps to reduce emissions from the radio circuit board. The spacer may also prevent the MSD board from slanting and breaking the connection to the host device when the board is attached to the host. Units are millimeters

In addition, do not place antennas directly above or directly below the radio.  Laird recommends the use of a double shielded cable for the connection between the radio and the antenna elements.  Laird has provided three plated mounting holes that can be used for grounding. When additional ground plane is required, you may use some or all of these grounded mounting holes.  Use proper electro-static-discharge (ESD) procedures when installing the Laird radio module.
