1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
PRODUCT OVERVIEW AND FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AW-CM382 provides the highest level of integration for embedded and IoT wireless systems with
integrated single-stream IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac MAC/baseband/radio and Bluetooth 5.0 (Basic Rate,
Enhanced Data Rate and Bluetooth Low Energy).
AW-CM382 supports all rates specified in the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac specifications. IEEE 802.11ac's 256
QAM is supported for MCS8 in 20 MHz channels and MCS8/MCS9 in 40 MHz & 80 MHz channels to enable
data rates of up to 433.3 Mbps. Included on-chip are 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz power amplifiers and low-noise
amplifiers.
An on-chip USB 2.0 hub provides a shared single USB connection to both WLAN and Bluetooth target devices.
Using advanced design techniques and process technology to reduce active and idle power, the AW-CM382
is designed to address the needs of mobile devices that require minimal power consumption and compact
size. It includes a power management unit which
Simplifies the system power topology and allows for direct operation from a mobile platform battery while
maximizing battery life.
The AW-CM382 implements highly sophisticated enhanced collaborative coexistence hardware mechanisms
and algorithms, which ensure that WLAN and Bluetooth collaboration is optimized for maximum performance.
As a result, enhanced overall quality for simultaneous
Voice, video, and data transmission on an embedded and IoT system is achieved.
