1. General Description

1-1. Product Overview and Functional Description

AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the first IEEE 802.11b/g/n WLAN module Card

-AW-NM383. The module is targeted to mobile devices including Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Netbook, TV, Tablet and Gaming Device which need small package module, low power consumption,

multiple interfaces and OS support. By using AW-NM383, the customers can easily enable the Wi-Fi embedded applications with the benefits of high design flexibility, short development cycle, and quick time-to-market.

Compliance with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard, the AW-NM383 uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (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-NM383. In addition to the support of WPA/WPA2 and WEP 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, the AW-NM383 also supports the IEEE 802.11i security standard through the implementation of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)/Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP), Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)/Cipher-Based Message Authentication Code (CMAC), and WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) security mechanisms.

For the video, voice and multimedia applications the AW-NM383 support 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS).

The AW-NM383 supports SDIO for WLAN to the host processor.

AW-NM383 is suitable for multiple mobile processors for different applications. With the support cellular phone co-existence, the AW-NM383 is also the best solution for mobile phones and PDA

phones applications.

AW-NM383 module adopts Marvell’s latest highly-integrated WLAN SoC---88W8782. All the other

components are implemented by all means to reach the mechanical specification required.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

2-4. SDIO Host Interface Specifications

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may

Referred from Marvell hardware specifications

cause undesired operation.

SDIO Protocol Timing Diagram

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee tha interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
