Figure 1 Functional Block Diagram
MARVELL 88W8688BFL is a highly integrated, low-cost, low-power IEEE802.11 b/g MAC
/Baseband / RF WLAN and Bluetooth Baseband/RF. The mini Module apply to WLAN /Bluetooth
cellular handsets ,WLAN/Bluetooth headsets, portable audio/video devices and accessories ,
gaming platforms, and WLAN/Bluetooth enabled digital still cameras and printers.
The single chip MARVELL 88W8688BFL interfaces directly with both the RF and digital signals.
It transmits and receivers RF signals at 2.4GHz to and from the antenna and digital signals to and
from the host interface. A power management (PMU) is placed in the off Board to provide power
for all components in the module and also can save precious board space.

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
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 of
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.
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

laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no
longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these
circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product
(including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed
such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must
be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID:MCLT77H134”.
