1-1. Product Overview and Functional Description

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

combo module - AW-NH930. The module is targeted to mobile devices including, Digital Still Cameras (DSCs), Portable Media Players (PMPs), and Gaming Devices, mobile phones which need small footprint package, low power consumption, multiple OS support. By using AW-NH930, the customers can easily enable the Wi-Fi, BT and FM embedded applications with the benefits of high design flexibility, short development cycle, and quick time-to-market. Compliance with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standard, the AW-NH930 uses DSSS, OFDM, DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies. A high level of integration and full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements by using AW-NH930. In addition to the support of WPA/WPA2 (personal) and WEP encryption, the AW-NH930 also supports the IEEE 802.11i security standard through AES and

TKIP acceleration hardware for faster data encryption. The AW-NH930 is also Cisco Compatible Extension (CCX) certified. For the video, voice and multimedia applications the AW-NH930 support

802.11e Quality of Service (QoS).

For Bluetooth operation, the AW-NH930 is Bluetooth 2.1+Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) compliant. The AW-NH930 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 provides easier to connect devices, lower power consumption and improved security. For FM receiver/transmitter, the AW-NH930 is 76-MHz to 108-MHz FM bands supported and supports the European Radio Data Systems (RDS) and the North American Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS) modulations. The AW-NH930 supports standard interface SDIO v1.2 interface for BT/FM host controller interface, and PCM for BT audio data. The demodulated FM audio signal is available as line-level analog stereo output. AW-NH930 is suitable for multiple mobile

(4-bit and 1-bit) for WLAN, High-speed UART

processors for different applications. With the combo functions and the good performance, the AWNH930 is the best solution for the consumer electronics and the laptops.
