Introduction
The primary purpose of this document is to communicate the Intel PRO/Wireless LAN &
AC’97 Modem MPCI Adapter features and specifications to a technical audience.
Trilogy 3 is an Intel codename that references a third generation of wireless LAN
products that are OEMed-in from Symbol Corporation, or based on Intersil Prism 2.5
reference designs. The WLAN and Modem sections of the adapter are completely
separate – including power and interface pins, allowing a WLAN-only version via depopulation of modem components.
Trilogy 3 Product Overview
Trilogy 3 products transfer data at ethernet speeds (11Mbps instantaneous data rate)
over the air between two or more users or between a user and the wired network. The
WLAN is not a single product; it is a digital radio system with product components that
can be configured to meet a multitude of customer requirements. The Trilogy 3 Access
Point (AP) links to a wired LAN via a wired ethernet connection. Wireless NICs
communicate to the wired LAN through the AP. Multiple Access Points are deployed in
a cellular layout plan similar in concept to the cellular telephone base station layout.
Document Purpose
This document defines the functional characteristics of the Trilogy 3 MPCI Adapter. All
of the basic functionality is provided by Intersil as part of their 802.11 DS implementation
for the Intersil PRISM 2.5 radio using the Intersil ISL3874A microcontroller. In particular,
the host interface access mechanisms, packet send, receive, queuing, timer services,
and buffer management are already implemented and do not require further
development. Therefore, this document primarily addresses the radio configuration and
firmware enhancements required for the Trilogy 3 product.
Key Features
• Direct Sequence 802.11b physical layer
• 802.11b High data rate capability – 11 MBPS, 5.5 MBPS, 2 and 1 MBPS
• 3.3 volt Mini PCI Type 3A card (3.3V Aux – Modem)
• 16 bit host interface using PCI IO mode for 802.11b section
• In-line WEP algorithm
• Enhanced power save algorithm for 802.11b section
• Robust roaming and dynamic rate switching for 802.11b section
• Wi-Fi certified 802.11b section
• Microsoft WHQL certified
• Modem Auto-configuration
• Modem v.90 Compliant (software-upgradeable to v.92)
• Hayes Compatible AT modem command set
• Modem Wake On Ring

Product Specification
What’s Not Supported
• The 802.11b firmware does not currently support a low power mode of operation
(< 20 ma). For Idle mode, it removes power to as many circuits as possible, but
the current level of firmware implementation prevents the ISL3874A controller
from using a 32 KHz low power oscillator for sleep mode. Since the controller
and clock will always be active the driver does not require wake-up/resume
operations (although the adapter will consume as little power as possible when
there are no receive, transmit, internal (roam) or host activities in progress.)
• Wake-On-LAN operation is not supported for the 802.11b section of this product.
This is due to the fact that the Intersil chipset does not support 3.3VAUX
detection.
• A hardware “Radio-Disable” switch is not supported for the 802.11b section;
however a software-implemented function is provided to disable radio
transmissions.
• There is no output pin to display 802.11b Activity status via an LED. Displaying
Activity Status is not supported with the current revision of the Intersil chipset and
firmware at this time. Future plans for support of this feature in Intel’s 802.11b
MPCI product are TBD as of Revision 1.2 of this document.

Product Specification
WLAN System Architecture
The WLAN section of the adapter consists of a 2.4 GHz radio with direct sequence
transmit and receive circuitry using Intersil 3874A Integrated MAC and Base Band
Processor and ISL3685/HFA3783 Intersil radio chipset. The controller circuitry consists
of the Intersil ISL3874A MAC controller with PCI interface, Flash and SRAM.
Crystal oscillators are used to drive the controller and transmit/receive circuits. Power
control circuits are used to selectively enable radio circuitry. Power on reset is
accomplished via a Maxim 6326 Reset IC, and with resistors to select default
configuration parameters and to put circuits into the off state until the firmware has
enabled the outputs from the controller.

WLAN Block Diagram
The ISL3874A microcontroller section executes under firmware control to process radio,
timer and host events/operations. This chip executes RISC-type instructions in one clock
using a 3-stage pipeline. The chip supports up to 8 active contexts. Context switching
occurs when higher priority events cause an “instant” switch to the appropriate higher
priority context. Contexts can be configured as “foreground” or “background”, where
foreground contexts always have priority, and background contexts operate in a roundrobin fashion. When there are no eligible contexts, the device consumes very little
power. Up to 64 K words of control store and 8 M bytes of RAM buffers are accessible
by the CPU address registers.
All firmware executes from the control store address space in the SRAM in order to
provide the required throughput for 11 MBPS data rates. The 256 KB SRAM supports
low memory variables and host interface, as well as a linked list of send/receive buffers
and host configuration buffers. The upper half of SRAM is used to store the executable
control store code.
The Host PCI interface accesses memory/registers via the ISL3874A controller;
Command/Status registers and Buffer Access Paths are provided to support a simple,
fast interface mechanism. The radio card includes the Direct Sequence send/receive
circuitry, RF synthesizers, reference oscillator, and power switching circuits.

WLAN Component Descriptions
The Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Mini PCI uses the Intersil Corp. Prism 2.5 Chipset to
implement the spreading, modulation, demodulation and de-spreading. The RF up- and
down-conversion approach is the common superhetrodyne architecture with integrated
chip set (ISL3685/HFA3783) manufactured by Intersil. The channel frequency, fc, is
created (transmit) or converted (receive) by mixing with a low side LO frequency, flo, to
the 374 MHz IF (fc= flo + 374 MHz). The 374 MHz IF is converted to/from baseband
using the Intersil I/Q modulator demodulator HFA3783 IC.
WLAN Transmitter Path
The Intersil ISL3874A baseband processor section creates the transmit waveform and
outputs the signal on the TX I/Q lines. The Intersil HFA3783 up-converts the transmit
baseband signal to 374 MHz. To control the side lobes the transmit signal is passed
through a SAW filter (374 MHz center, 22 MHz BW). The signal is then amplified and
mixed up to the channel frequency using Intersil ISL3685 IC. The LO frequency is
lowside (fc – 374M). The signal is then band-pass filtered, amplified, and low-pass
filtered (2.4 to 2.5 GHz passband) to create the required output power while keeping
spurious and harmonic emissions in spec. Two switches are incorporated at the output
to provide for antenna diversity and receive/transmit switching.
WLAN Receive Path
The receive signal passes through the front-end diversity and transmit/receive switches.
The signal is band-pass filtered and then amplified by Intersil ISL3685 and then downconverted to 374 MHz. The LO frequency is lowside (fc – 374M). The receive signal is
passed through the SAW to provide adjacent channel selectivity. The Intersil HFA3783
creates the baseband I/Q signals and the signal is de-spread and demodulated in the
Intersil ISL3874A.
WLAN Microprocessor Control
The Intersil ISL3874A micro-controller section along with flash and SRAM memory
control the transmitter and receiver. The micro-controller section is derived from the
Intersil HFA3842 and is clocked at 14.67 MHz by a PLL-divided 44 MHz crystal. The
micro-controller along with the embedded firmware runs the 802.11 Media Access
Control (MAC) layer control. The MAC control sends and receives packets and transfers
data to and from the PCI interface to the host computer. The host computer in which the
Mini-PCI is embedded can be a handheld, notebook or fixed computer.

WLAN Frequency Generation
The first and second LO are generated by two external VCOs. The first LO feeds the
Intersil ISL3685 to generate the channel frequency minus 374 MHz. The second LO
which feeds the Intersil HFA3783 is 2 times 374 MHz (748 MHz). A 44 MHz crystal is the
reference for the synthesizers. The synthesizers are controlled by the ISL3874A microcontroller section.

WLAN Modulation and Channel Data Rates
Four modulation formats and data rates are specified by the IEEE 802.11b
specification. The basic access rate is based on 1 Mbit/s Differential Binary
Phase Shift Keying (DBPSK) modulation. The enhanced access rate is based on
2 Mbit/s Differential Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK). The extended
Direct Sequence specification defines two additional data rates. These rates are
based on the Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation scheme for 5.5
Mbit/s and 11 Mbit/s.

WLAN Power Requirements
The Adapter is able to work with the standard Mini-PCI 3.3V +/- 5% power source. The
Adapter’s current consumption depends on the operating state. The operating state is
controlled by the Adapter’s driver software and the Adapter’s CPU. The pulse
characteristics, and peak inrush current depend on the capacitance and resistance of
the host power supply. The Adapter presents a capacitive load of approximately 20 uF.
Noise on the 3.3 V power supply should be below 50 mV RMS.

Modem System Architecture
The 56K soft modem design is based on the Agere CSP1037 Scorpio chip set. This
chip set includes an integrated direct access arrangement (DAA) that provides a
programmable line interface to meet international telephone line requirements.
Unlike Controller or Controller-less modems, the AC’97 soft modem uses host CPU
computing power to process the incoming/outgoing data instead of having a dedicated
DSP local to the modem.

Modem Block Diagram
Host Side (SCP-16T) has the AC’97 link protocol built-in for communication to the Host.
It is responsible to process data coming in and going out to the Line Side chip as well as
commands to control the Line Side for on-hook, off-hook, dial, ring detect. The host side
can be configured via Host Interface strapping pins as an AC’97 Primary (ID 00) or
Secondary (ID’s 01 or 10) Codec. For the (default) Primary mode, an on-board
24.576MHz oscillator is provided which is converted to the required internal and external
clock frequencies by a PLL within the Host Side chip. An analog Call-Progress signal is
provided at one of two Host Interface pins. Power for the digital portion of the Host Side
is provided by the host system’s 3.3VAUX supply. Power for the analog portion is
provided by a charge pump, which is driven by the data-stream of the isolation barrier.
The Scorpio chip set achieves an isolation barrier through low-cost, high-voltage
capacitors in conjunction with Agere’s proprietary signal processing techniques. These
techniques eliminate any signal degradation due to capacitor mismatches, commonmode interference, or noise coupling. All transmit, receive, control, and ring detect data
are communicated through this barrier.
Line Side (CSP1037-16T) communicates data with the Host Side across the capacitive
barrier. The Line Side chip performs D/A and A/D conversion, provides the DAA
functions such as AC and DC impedance control, ring detection, and loop current
monitoring. This chip also controls the analog input/output to Tip/Ring via discrete
components. Power for the Line Side is derived from the telephone line.
The hook-switch and DC termination circuits of the DAA are implemented with discrete
transistors and passive components, controlled by the Line Side chip.

LTHOMOL.exe (Homologation support utility)
Agere Scorpio modem offers worldwide support over 60 country/region modes.
This homologation capability is enabled by the certain modem hardware (DAA analog front-end design) and the software (Device driver). The device driver
configures various parameters and sets the modem to function under certain
telecommunication regulation and laws to pass PTT approvals. This capability
allows PC OEMs and retail manufactures to market their products in more
countries/regions. It will also enables end-users to have more mobility of the
modem usage in laptop PC environments. While over 100 homologation
parameters have their default values configured in the modem driver,
LTHOMOL.exe adds the capability to modify/update the parameters that matches
with the certain modem hardware to be installed.

LTSMMSG.exe (User messaging & system audio support utility)
LTSMMSG.exe is a stand-alone program that offers you to show pop-up
windows to indicate users for certain critical events occurred, while users are
using the modem function. This program supports all Windows operating
systems.
Selection of Un-homologated Country Messaging
If the user selects some country which the modem is not homologated, either
from Regional Settings and/or Modem, Dialing Properties, My Location in Control
Panel, this warning message will show up.
Modem is not approved in the selected country.
Selecting a country other than the one in which you are currently
located may cause your modem to be configured in a way that
violates the telecommunication regulations/laws of that country.
In addition, your modem may not function properly if the correct
country selection is not made. Only select the country in which you
are located.
Country/region setting of the modem will remain the same as it was before if an
un-homologated country/region is selected. In addition the modem function itself
will not be blocked by this program.
To enable this feature the following line is needed in the INF file(s) for each
operating system.

Over Current Protection (OCP) Messaging
When the user is on the road or even at home and accidentally plugs modem into
RJ-11 jack that is a digital PBX line, the modem will not go off hook to protect the
modem hardware to be damaged by high voltage/current line condition. Upon off
hook event, the following warning message will show up.
“The modem is plugged into a digital PBX line and will not work.”
The modem hardware has to equip the over current protection circuit to support
this feature.
To enable this feature the following line is needed in the INF file(s) for each
operating system.

System Audio Support
LTSMMSG.exe also serves as a Windows user mode ring-3 application which
samples audio data stream generated by the driver and transfers the data onto
the system audio device. This will allow the system to support call progress tone
monitor function without using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) speaker function
that is previously supported. This new feature eliminates the external
components (circuit) required for PWM speaker support and will help reducing
the BOM (Bill of Material) and the size of the modem hardware.
To enable this feature the following line is needed in the INF file(s) for each
operating system. (Example of system audio support in Intel Solano2 system)
