5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings(1)

over operating free-air temperature range (unless otherwise noted)
PARAMETER VALUE UNIT
VBAT 4.8(2) V
VIO –0.5 to 2.1 V
Input voltage to analog pins –0.5 to 2.1 V
Input voltage limits (CLK_IN) –0.5 to VDD_IO V
Input voltage to all other pins –0.5 to (VDD_IO + 0.5 V) V
Operating ambient temperature range –20 to +70(3) °C
(1) Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “operating conditions” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) 4.8 V cumulative to 2.33 years, including charging dips and peaks
(3) Operating free-air temperature range at which the device can operate reliably for 15K cumulative active TX power-on hours (assuming a maximum junction temperature of (Tj) of 125°C). Section 5.3, Power-On Hours (POH), describes the correlation between Tj and PoH. In the WL18xx system, a control mechanism automatically ensures Tj < 125°C. Whenever Tj approaches the threshold, this mechanism controls the transmitter patterns.

5.2 Handling Ratings

Tstg Storage temperature range –40 +85 °C
ESD stress voltage(1) Human body model (HBM)(2) –1000 +1000 V

(1) ESD measures device sensitivity and immunity to damage caused by electrostatic discharges into the device.
(2) The level listed is the passing level per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. JEDEC document JEP155 states that 500-V HBM allows safe manufacturing with a standard ESD control process, and manufacturing with less than 500-V HBM is possible, if necessary precautions are taken. Pins listed as 1000 V can actually have higher performance.
(3) The level listed is the passing level per EIA-JEDEC JESD22-C101E. JEDEC document JEP157 states that 250-V CDM allows safe manufacturing with a standard ESD control process, and manufacturing with less than 250-V CDM is possible, if necessary precautions are taken. Pins listed as 250 V can actually have higher performance.

5.12 Timing and Switching Characteristics

5.12.1 Power Management

5.12.1.1 Block Diagram – Internal DC2DCs

The device incorporates three internal DC2DCs (switched-mode power supplies) to provide efficient internal supplies, derived from VBAT.

bd_fig7_swrs162.gifFigure 5-1 Internal DC2DCs

5.12.2 Power-Up and Shut-Down States

The correct power-up and shut-down sequences must be followed to avoid damage to the device.

While VBAT or VIO or both are deasserted, no signals should be driven to the device. The only exception is the slow clock that is a fail-safe I/O.

While VBAT, VIO, and slow clock are fed to the device, but WL_EN is deasserted (low), the device is in SHUTDOWN state. In SHUTDOWN state all functional blocks, internal DC2DCs, clocks, and LDOs are disabled.

To perform the correct power-up sequence, assert (high) WL_EN. The internal DC2DCs, LDOs, and clock start to ramp and stabilize. Stable slow clock, VIO, and VBAT are prerequisites to the assertion of one of the enable signals.

To perform the correct shut-down sequence, deassert (low) WL_EN while all the supplies to the device (VBAT, VIO, and slow clock) are still stable and available. The supplies to the chip (VBAT and VIO) can be deasserted only after both enable signals are deasserted (low).

Figure 5-2 shows the general power scheme for the module, including the powerdown sequence.

td_fig7_3_b_swrs162.gif
NOTE: 1. Either VBAT or VIO can come up first.
2. VBAT and VIO supplies and slow clock (SCLK), must be stable prior to EN being asserted and at all times
when the EN is active.
3. At least 60 µs is required between two successive device enables. The device is assumed to be in
shutdown state during that period, meaning all enables to the device are LOW for that minimum duration.
4. EN must be deasserted at least 10 µs before VBAT or VIO supply can be lowered. (Order of supply turn off
after EN shutdown is immaterial)
5. SCLK - Fail safe I/O

5.12.6 WLAN SDIO Transport Layer

The SDIO is the host interface for WLAN. The interface between the host and the WL18xx module uses an SDIO interface and supports a maximum clock rate of 50 MHz.

The device SDIO also supports the following features of the SDIO V3 specification:

  • 4-bit data bus
  • Synchronous and asynchronous in-band interrupt
  • Default and high-speed (HS, 50 MHz) timing

5.12.7 HCI UART Shared Transport Layers for All Functional Blocks (Except WLAN)

The device incorporates a UART module dedicated to the Bluetooth shared-transport, host controller interface (HCI) transport layer. The HCI interface transports commands, events, and ACL between the Bluetooth device and its host using HCI data packets acting as a shared transport for all functional blocks except WLAN.

WLAN SHARED HCI FOR ALL FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS EXCEPT WLAN BLUETOOTH VOICE-AUDIO
WLAN HS SDIO Over UART Bluetooth PCM

The HCI UART supports most baud rates (including all PC rates) for all fast-clock frequencies up to a maximum of 4 Mbps. After power up, the baud rate is set for 115.2 kbps, regardless of the fast-clock frequency. The baud rate can then be changed using a VS command. The device responds with a Command Complete Event (still at 115.2 kbps), after which the baud rate change occurs.

HCI hardware includes the following features:

  • Receiver detection of break, idle, framing, FIFO overflow, and parity error conditions
  • Receiver-transmitter underflow detection
  • CTS, RTS hardware flow control
  • 4 wire (H4)

Table 5-3 lists the UART default settings.

5.12.7.1 UART 4-Wire Interface – H4

The interface includes four signals:

  • TXD
  • RXD
  • CTS
  • RTS

Flow control between the host and the device is byte-wise by hardware.

When the UART RX buffer of the device passes the flow-control threshold, the buffer sets the UART_RTS signal high to stop transmission from the host. When the UART_CTS signal is set high, the device stops transmitting on the interface. If HCI_CTS is set high in the middle of transmitting a byte, the device finishes transmitting the byte and stops the transmission.

Figure 5-10 shows the UART timing.
