Preliminary Module Brief
Point-to-point AVMD6210-SWA12TX/RX modules for Stereo and Mono
Wireless Audio Systems, based on Avnera’s AV6210 IC
General Description
Every consumer wants to be free from wires,
but it has been challenging to find a low-cost,
high-quality, easy-to-use wireless audio
solution for the wireless subwoofer market.
Avnera’s proprietary wireless system takes a
new approach to wireless audio. The wireless
protocol was designed from the ground up and
delivers uncompressed mono or stereo audio,
with fixed latency and variable over the air
data rate support to eliminate interference
problems at the best possible audio quality.
Avnera’s wireless modules offer a low-touch,
easy-to-integrate wireless audio solution and
enable fast time to market by already solving
the problem associated with FCC certification,
antenna tuning and board optimization.
Modules based on Avnera’s AV6200 silicon
provide breakthrough wireless audio
functionality with fixed low-latency point-topoint transport of uncompressed mono PCM
audio data at up to 48KHz, 16-bit resolution
using digital (I2S) interfaces.

4 AVMD6210-SWA12- Connector Information
Table 1 shows the module connector pin out for the SWA12. A goal of the design is to have the e xact same pin out for
both the Tx and Rx modules. The module function is completely determined by firmware.
The module pins provide the capabilit y to use e ither SPI sl av e or I2C slav e interfac es – th ese are mutua ll y exclusiv e. If an
I2C slave host interface is used GPIOs 2 and 3 can be used for general purpose I/O. In addition, the SPI master port is
brought out to the connector to facilitate direct programmin g of the module flash memory if required. A single I2S port is
brought to the connector and can be configured to be either a slave or master port. The MCLK pin can be an input or
output to offer optimal flexibility. Likewise the I2S audio pin can be an input or output to implement either audio Tx or Rx.
In addition, there are 5 other GPIOs that can be used excl usively for s ystem features su ch as pair button, i nterrupt, LEDs
etc. The reset pin allows for an external device to reset the module but m ust be driven from an open dra in device to avoid
timing issues with the module reset.
Note: the connector pin out is subject to change throughout the development process to optimize the PCB
routing.

6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute Maximum Ratings (AMR) are stress ratings only. AMR corresponds to the maximum value that can be applied
without leading to instantaneous or very short-term unrecoverable hard fail ure (destructive breakdown). Stresses beyond
those listed under AMR may cause permanent damage to the device.
Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “Recommended
Operating Range” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may adversely
affect device reliability.
Device functional operating limits and guaranteed performance sp ecifications are given under Electrical Char acteristics at
the test conditions specified.

7 Firmware Architecture
7.1 Standard Firmware Options
Avnera provides standard firmware images that implement basic wireless link operation. Each of these images uses 1
GPIO as a link status indicator and another GPIO is an input used to get the module into pairing mode as illustrated in
Figure 4.
Figure 4 – Standard Module Firmware Topology
The basic firmware image options supported are:
Tx Module Over-the-Air Audio Format I2S Configuration
SWA12TX-44/16-Slave 44KSps @ 16bit Stereo I2S Slave
SWA12TX-44/16-Master 44KSps @ 16bit Stereo I2S Master
SWA12TX-11/16-Slave 11KSps @ 16bit Mono I2S Slave
SWA12TX-11/16-Master 11KSps @ 16bit Mono I2S Master
Rx Module Over-the-Air Audio Format I2S Configuration
SWA12RX-44/16-Slave 44KSps @ 16bit Stereo I2S Slave
SWA12RX-44/16-Master 44KSps @ 16bit Stereo I2S Master

SWA12RX-11/16-Master 11KSps @ 16bit Mono I2S Master
Table 3 – Standard Firmware Image Support
7.2 Custom Firmware Options
Beyond the basic audio, link status and pairing functionality, it is possible for Avnera to customize the firmware
functionality to support advanced system features such as over-the-air communic ation by means of either an I2C or SPI
host interface.
Customization may consist of features such as:
• Defined command and control API through I2C/SPI host interface
• Data transfer between the Tx and Rx modules
• Custom apps running on the module MCU to implement I2C master port or specific GPIO input/output functions

7.3 Firm ware Upgrades
The possible interfaces that can be used for upgrades of the flash memory device are sh own in Figure 5.
With the standard firmware implementation, firmware upgrades are achieved by using the module SPI master port to
directly program the module flash device. Avnera provides a GUI application that runs on a PC to facilitate direct SPI
programming.
By means of additional custom firmware, programming of the module flash device can be achieved vi a the slave I2C or
SPI host interfaces.
It is also possible to implement over-the-air programming of the Rx module so all elements of a system can be upgr aded
through a single host interface. This requires working with customer to define the fu nctionality and architecture required as
well as the customer host interface and API to the Tx module.
