DESCRIPTION
The TiWi5 module is a high performance 2.4 /5.5 GHz
IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE) 4.0 radio in a cost effective, pre-
certified footprint.
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 UART or btSPI HCI transport layer. Both WLAN and
Bluetooth share the same antenna port.
TiWi5 is pin for pin compatible with the TiWi-R2 and
TiWi-BLE modules. TiWi5 does not include the on
module U.FL connector.
Need to get to market quickly? Not an expert in 802.11
or Bluetooth? Need a custom antenna? Would you like

Table 3 TiWi5 Module Pin Descriptions
All digital I/O signals use 1.8V logic. If the host microcontroller does not support 1.8V logic, then
level shifters MUST be used.

BT_FUNC2 and BT_FUNC5 Pins
When BT is awake and active, BT_WU (BT_FUNC2) is high (from host to module). This is an active high signal.
The host puts the BT section to sleep by de-asserting (logic low level) the BT_WU signal (input to the module).
The module then drives HOST_WU (BT_FUNC5) low to acknowledge to the host that it is has been put into sleep
mode.
Using these pins is optional.
BT_FUNC4 Pin
The BT_FUNC4 (BT_UARTD) pin is a debug pin. It is a 1.8V logic UART TX line. This pin should never need to be
used in normal operation. It may be useful to terminate this pin to a test point or header in case it is needed.
WL_UART_DBG Pin
The WL_UART_DBG pin is a debug pin. It is a 1.8V logic UART TX line. This pin should never need to be used in
normal operation. It may be useful to terminate this pin to a test point or header in case it is needed.
WL_RS232_RX and WL_RS232_TX Pins
This pins are used for a WLAN test mode interface. Both pins are 1.8V logic level UART pins. These pins should
be brought out to a header on the host PCB. The WLAN test interface can be used to place the module into
constant packet transmit and constant packet receive modes. These modes can be useful for antenna and
sensitivity testing.

INI FILE RADIO PARAMETERS
There is an ini file that contains WLAN radio parameters which are critical to both the RF performance and EMC
compliance of the module.
The ini file available on the LSR wiki is only intended to be used with the LSR WLAN Eval Tool. Note that this ini
file will not work when using the TiWi5 module in normal operation which typically involves an operating
system. To use the TiWi5 module in normal operation, refer to specifics contained in the TiWi Family INI File
Radio Parameter User Guide which is also available for download on the LSR website.
The settings specified in the appropriate ini file must be used to operate the module in compliance with the
modular certification for FCC or ETSI. There is a unique ini file for operating the module in compliance with FCC
regulations, and a different ini file for operating the module in compliance with the ETSI regulations.

330-0042-R2.8 Copyright © 2011-2016 LSR Page 12 of 59
5 GHZ AP MODE
The TiWi5 module was not certified as a DFS Master, and therefore the AP mode is not allowed in the 5 GHz
bands. The AP mode is allowed to be used in the 2.4 GHz band. Software cannot prevent the usage of the AP
mode in the 5 GHz band, so it is the module-integrators responsibility to ensure the 5 GHz AP mode is not used.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The majority of these characteristics are based on controlling and conditioning the tests using the TiWi5 control
software application. Other control conditions may require these values to be re-characterized by the customer.

1. Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device and are not covered by
the warranty. These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those
indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
2. All parameters are measured as follows unless stated otherwise: VDD_IN=1.8V, VDDIO_1.8V=1.8V, VDD_LDO_CLASS1P5=3.6V
3. Analog pins: XTALP, XTALM, RFIOBT, DRPWRXBM, DRPWRXBP, DRPWTXB, and also FMRFINP, FMRFINM, FMRFINM, FMAUDLIN,
FMAUDRIN, FMAUDLOUT, FMAUDROUT
4. The following signals are from the VBAT group, PMS_VBAT and VDD_LDO_CLASS1P5 (if BT class 1.5 direct VBAT is used).
5. Maximum allowed depends on accumulated time at that voltage; 4.8V for 7 years lifetime, 5.5V for 6 hours cumulative.
6. The device can be reliably operated for 5,000 active-WLAN cumulative hours at TA of 85oC.

WLAN POWER-UP SEQUENCE
The following sequence describes device power-up from shutdown. Only the WLAN Core is enabled; the
Bluetooth and FM cores are disabled.
Figure 3 TiWi5 Power-up Sequence Requirements
1. No signals are allowed on the IO pins if no IO power is supplied, because the IOs are not 'failsafe’. Exceptions
are CLK_REQ_OUT, SLOWCLK, XTALP, and AUD_xxx, which are failsafe and can tolerate external voltages with
no VDDS and DC2DC.
2. VBAT, VIO, and SLOWCLK must be available before WL_EN.
3. Twakeup = T1 + T2
The duration of T1 is defined as the time from WL_EN=high until Fref is valid for the SoC. T1=~55ms
The duration of T2 depends on:
– Operating system
– Host enumeration for the SDIO/WSPI
– PLL configuration
– Firmware download
– Releasing the core from reset

ENABLE SCHEME
The module has 3 enable pins, one for each core: WL_EN, and BT_EN and FM_EN. Presently, there are 2 modes of active
operation now supported: WLAN and Bluetooth. It is recommended that the FM_EN pin be grounded to disable the FM
section. It is also recommended that the FM section be disabled by Bluetooth HCI commands.
1. Each core is operated independently by asserting each EN signal to Logic '1'. In this mode it is possible to control each
core asynchronously and independently.
2. Bluetooth mode operation. WLAN will be operated through WL_EN asynchronously and independently of Bluetooth.
IRQ OPERATION
1. The default state of the WLAN_IRQ prior to firmware initialization is 0.
2. During firmware initialization, the WLAN_IRQ is configured by the SDIO module; a WLAN_IRQ changes its state to
1.
3. A WLAN firmware interrupt is handled as follows:
a. The WLAN firmware creates an Interrupt-to-Host, indicated by a 1-to-0 transition on the
WLAN_IRQ line (host must be configured as active-low or falling-edge detect).
b. After the host is available, depending on the interrupt priority and other host tasks, it masks the firmware
interrupt. The WLAN_IRQ line returns to 1 (0-to-1 transition on the WLAN_IRQ line).
c. The host reads the internal register status to determine the interrupt sources - the register is cleared after
the read.
d. The host processes in sequence all the interrupts read from this register
e. The host unmasks the firmware interrupts.
4. The host is ready to receive another interrupt from the WLAN device.

BLUETOOTH AUDIO CODEC INTERFACE
Overview
The CODEC interface is a fully dedicated programmable serial port that provides the logic to interface to several kinds of
PCM or I2S codecs. The interface supports:
Two voice channels
Master / slave modes
Coding schemes: μ-Law, A-Law, Linear, Transparent
Long & short frames
Different data sizes, order and positions
UDI profile
High rate PCM interface for EDR
Enlarged interface options to support a wider variety of Codecs
PCM bus sharing
PCM Hardware Interface
The PCM interface is one implementation of the codec interface. It contains the following four lines:
Clock--configurable direction (input or output)
Frame Sync--configurable direction (input or output)
Data In--Input
Data Out--Output/Hi-Z
The WL1273L device can be either the master of the interface where it generates the clock and the framesync signals, or
slave where it receives these two signals. The PCM interface is fully configured by means of a VS command.
For slave mode, clock input frequencies of up to 16MHz are supported. At clock rates above 12MHz, the maximum data
burst size is 32 bits.
For master mode, the WL1273L can generate any clock frequency between 64kHz and 4.096MHz.
Data Format
The data format is fully configurable:
The data length can be from 8 to 320 bits, in 1-bit increments, when working with two channels, or up to 640 bits
when using 1 channel. The data length can be set independently for each channel.
The data position within a frame is also configurable with 1-clock (bit) resolution, and can be set independently
(relative to the edge of the Frame Sync signal) for each channel.
The Data_In and Data_Out bit order can be configured independently. For example; Data_In can start with MSB
while Data_Out starts with LSB. Each channel is separately configurable. The inverse bit order (i.e. LSB first) is
supported only for sample sizes up to 24 bits.
The data in and data out size do not necessarily have to be the same length.
The Data_Out line is configured as a ‘high-Z’ output between data words. Data_Out can also be set for permanent
high-Z, irrespective of data out. This allows the WL1273L to be a bus slave in a multi-slave PCM environment. At
power up, Data_Out is configured as high-Z.

330-0042-R2.8 Copyright © 2011-2016 LSR Page 32 of 59
Frame-Idle Period
The CODEC interface has the capability for frame-idle periods, where the PCM clock can “take a break” and become ‘0’ at
the end of the PCM frame, after all data has been transferred.
The WL1273L supports frame-idle periods both as master and slave of the PCM bus.
When WL1273L is the master of the interface, the frame-idle period is configurable. There are 2 configurable parameters:
Clk_Idle_Start - Indicates the number of PCM clock cycles from the beginning of the frame till the beginning of the
idle period. After Clk_Idle_Start clock cycles, the clock becomes ‘0’.
Clk_Idle_End – Indicates the time from the beginning of the frame till the end of the idle period. This time is given
in multiples of PCM clock periods.
The delta between Clk_Idle_Start and Clk_Idle_End is the clock idle period.
e.g. For PCM clock rate = 1MHz, frame sync period = 10kHz, Clk_Idle_Start = 60, Clk_Idle_End = 90.
Between each two-frame sync there are 70 clock cycles (instead of 100). The clock idle period starts 60 clock cycles after
the beginning of the frame and lasts 90-60=30 clock cycles. This means that the idle period ends 100-90=10 clock cycles
before the end of the frame. The data transmission must end prior to the beginning of the idle period.

Clock-Edge Operation
The CODEC interface of the WL1273L can work on the rising or the falling edge of the clock. It also has the ability to sample
the frame sync and the data at inversed polarity.
The following diagram shows the operation of a falling-edge-clock type of codec. The codec is the master of the PCM bus.
The frame-sync signal is updated (by the codec) on the falling clock edge and therefore is sampled (by the WL1273L) on the
next rising clock. The data from the codec is sampled (by the WL1273L) on the clock falling edge.
Figure 10 Negative Clock Edge PCM Operation
Two Channel PCM Bus Example
In the following figure, a 2-channel PCM bus is shown where the two channels have different word sizes and arbitrary
positions in the bus’ frame. (FT stands for Frame Timer)

Audio Encoding
The WL1273L CODEC interface can use one of four audio coding patterns:
A-Law (8-bit)
μ-Law (8-bit)
Linear (8 or 16-bit)
Transparent
Improved Algorithm for Lost Packets
The WL1273L features an improved algorithm for improving voice quality when received voice data packets go missing.
There are two options:
Repeat the last sample – possible only for sample sizes up to 24 bits. For sample sizes >24 bits, the last byte is
repeated.
Repeat a configurable sample of 8-24 bits (depends on the real sample size), in order to simulate silence (or
anything else) in the PCM bus. The configured sample is written in a specific register for each channel.
The choice between those two options is configurable separately for each channel.

BLUETOOTH PCM CLOCK MISMATCH HANDLING
In BT RX, the WL1273L receives RF voice packets and writes these to the CODEC I/F. If the WL1273L receives data faster
than the CODEC I/F output allows, an overflow occurs. In this case, the WL1273L BT function has 2 possible behavior
modes: ‘allow overflow’ and ‘don’t allow overflow’.
If overflow is allowed, the WL1273L BT function continues receiving data and overwrites any data not yet sent to
the CODEC.
If overflow is not allowed, RF voice packets received when buffer is full, are discarded

BLUETOOTH INTER-IC SOUND (I2S)
The WL1273L can be configured as an Inter-IC Sound (I2S) serial interface to an I2S CODEC device. In this mode, the
WL1273L audio CODEC interface is configured as a bi-directional, full duplex interface, with two time slots per frame: Time
slot 0 is used for the left channel audio data and time slot 1 for the right channel audio data. Each time slot is configurable
up to 40 serial clock cycles in length and the frame is configurable up to 80 serial clock cycles in length.

UDI SUPPORT
The UDI profile defines the protocols and procedures that are used by devices implementing UDI for the 3G mobile phone
systems, such as devices with Bluetooth connections to a 3G Handset, communicating via video phone over a 3G network.
Up to 2 channels of UDI data can be supported. The data is transferred via the CODEC interface using transparent mode,
and is sent out using eSCO EV4 Bluetooth packets (EV5 is also selectable).

ADVANCED AUDIO FEATURES
The WL1273L supports an embedded SBC encoder/decoder (codec) and sample rate converter to achieve enhanced
audio/voice options. BLE and ANT are not supported when advanced audio features are active.
Wideband (WB) Speech
Normal (e)SCO voice links are 8ksamples/s. Proposed enhancements to Bluetooth profiles HFP, HSP, CTP, and ICP profiles
and the TCS-Binary protocol, require the capability of 16ksamples/s voice and SBC encoding/decoding, necessary for WB
speech.
The WL1273L Audio Processor can perform as an SBC codec to support wide-band speech with no additional Bluetooth
voice-processing requirements from the Host.

Assisted A2DP
A2DP profile requires the following:
SBC encoding
44.1kHz or 48kHz audio sampling rate
L2CAP encapsulation for up to 512kbps ACL link
If done in the host, this will put a significant load on host processing power.
The WL1273L can accept a standard I2S audio stream at any of the standard rates and perform all above requirements
internally to achieve full A2DP, thus offloading host.

CLEANING
In general, cleaning the populated modules is
strongly discouraged. Residuals under the module
cannot be easily removed with any cleaning
process.
Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects
where water is absorbed into the gap between
the host board and the module. The
combination of soldering flux residuals and
encapsulated water could lead to short circuits
between neighboring pads. Water could also
damage any stickers or labels.
Cleaning with alcohol or a similar organic
solvent will likely flood soldering flux residuals
into the RF shield, which is not accessible for
post-washing inspection. The solvent could also
damage any stickers or labels.
Ultrasonic cleaning could damage the module
permanently.
OPTICAL INSPECTION
After soldering the Module to the host board,
consider optical inspection to check the following:
Proper alignment and centering of the module
over the pads.
Proper solder joints on all pads.
Excessive solder or contacts to neighboring
pads, or vias.
REWORK
The module can be unsoldered from the host board
if the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) requirements
are met as described in this datasheet.
Never attempt a rework on the module
itself, e.g. replacing individual
components. Such actions will terminate
warranty coverage.
SHIPPING, HANDLING, AND STORAGE
Shipping
Bulk orders of the TiWi5 modules are delivered in
trays of 100 or reels of 1,000.
Handling
The TiWi5 modules contain a highly sensitive
electronic circuitry. Handling without proper ESD
protection may destroy or damage the module
permanently.
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)
Per J-STD-020, devices rated as MSL 4 and not
stored in a sealed bag with desiccant pack should be
baked prior to use.
Devices are packaged in a Moisture Barrier Bag with
a desiccant pack and Humidity Indicator Card (HIC).
Devices that will be subjected to reflow should
reference the HIC and J-STD-033 to determine if
baking is required.
If baking is required, refer to J-STD-033 for bake
procedure.
Storage
Per J-STD-033, the shelf life of devices in a Moisture
Barrier Bag is 12 months at <40ºC and <90% room
humidity (RH).
Do not store in salty air or in an environment with a
high concentration of corrosive gas, such as Cl2,
H2S, NH3, SO2, or NOX.
Do not store in direct sunlight.
The product should not be subject to excessive
mechanical shock.

AGENCY STATEMENTS
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
UNII devices operating within 5.15-5.25 GHz are to be restricted to indoor operations to reduce any potential for
harmful interference to co-channel MSS operations.
FCC 15.407(c) states: The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of
information to transmit or operational failure. These provisions are not intended to preclude transmission of
control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes used by certain digital technologies to complete
frame or burst intervals. Applicants shall include in their application for equipment authorization a description
of how this requirement is met.
Description to meet FCC 15.407(c):
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then passed down through the MAC, through the
digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF transceiver. Several special packets (ACKs, CTS, PSPoll, etc) are
