Introduction[edit | edit source]

Wireless Module (DWM) is one of DAVE's Add-On Modules. These devices are conceived and designed to be easily included in embedded system, in order to ease the use from the system integrator's standpoint, in terms of hardware issues and software compatibility. These characteristics make them suitable for use in combination with a wide range of host devices, from low-cost microcontrollers to high-end embedded processors.

DWM belongs to the Connectivity Modules subfamily and provides support for WiFi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth (2.1 + EDR) throgh, respectively, a SDIO interface and a UART interface.

Specification[edit | edit source]

The module is built around a LS Research TiWi-R2 Integrated Transceiver Modules for WLAN 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth. The module realizes the necessary PHY/MAC layers to support WLAN applications in conjunction with a host processor over a SDIO interface. The module also provides a Bluetooth platform through the HCI transport layer. Both WLAN and Bluetooth share the same antenna port.

Features[edit | edit source]

  • IEEE 802.11 b,g,n,d,e,i, compliant
  • Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Power Class 1.5
  • Reduced footprint: 25 mm x 38 mm
  • Low height profile
  • U.FL connector for external antenna
  • Integrated band-pass filter

Interface timings[edit | edit source]

Please refer to the TiWi-R2 Datasheet for SDIO [WiFi] and UART [Bluetooth] interface timings.
