Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification 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.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA 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.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA 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.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification 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.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification 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.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification The 2-pin modem connector meets the physical requirements of and is located per the Mini-PCI specification. Antenna connectors are located as shown in the above drawing. They are Hirose type U.FL-R-SMT. External Indicator Signaling Signals are provided to drive up to 2 external LAN Status LEDs. These signals are available in one of two different configurations via the bottom System Connector (SC) pins.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification 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.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification 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.

Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification 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.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification 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.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification 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.
Trilogy 3 MPCI M3AWEB/56GA Product Specification 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.
