1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n 2X2 MU-MIMO WLAN &
Bluetooth NGFF module --- AW-CM276NF. The module is targeted to mobile devices including
Notebook, TV, Tablet and Gaming Device which need small package module, low power
consumption, multiple interfaces and OS support. By using AW-CM276NF, the customers can easily
enable the Wi-Fi, and BT embedded applications with the benefits of high design flexibility, short
development cycle, and quick time-to-market.
Compliance with the IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n standard supporting 802.11ac Wave 2, the AW-
CM276NF uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM), DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies. A high
level of integration and full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE
802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements by using AW-CM276NF. In addition to the
support of WPA/WPA2/WPA3 and WEP 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, the AW-CM276NF also
supports the IEEE 802.11i security standard through the implementation of Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES)/Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP), Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) with
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)/Cipher-Based
Message Authentication Code (CMAC), and WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI)
security mechanisms.
For the video, voice and multimedia applications the AW-CM276NF support 802.11e Quality of
Service (QoS). The device also supports 802.11h Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for
detecting radar pulses when operating in the 5GHz range.
For Bluetooth operation, AW-CM276NF is Bluetooth 5.3 (supports Low Energy).
AW-CM276NF supports PCIE and SDIO3.0 for WLAN and high speed UART interfaces for
Bluetooth to the host processor.
AW-CM276NF is suitable for multiple mobile processors for different applications with the support
cellular phone co-existence.
AW-CM276NF module adopts NXP’s latest highly-integrated dual-band WLAN & Bluetooth SoC---
88W8997. All the other components are implemented by all means to reach the mechanical
specification required.
