1 SCOPE
This document describes key hardware aspects of the Laird PH45N radio module. This document is intended to
assist device manufacturers and related parties with the integration of this radio into their host devices. Data in
this document is drawn from a number of sources and includes information found in the Qualcomm Atheros
(QCA) AR6003 data sheet issued in January 2010, along with other documents provided from Qualcomm
Atheros.
The information in this document is subject to change. Please contact Laird Technologies or visit
http://www.lairdtech.com/wireless to obtain the most recent version of this document.

2 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
This device is a Laird PH45N radio module which supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
standards via an SDIO (Secure Digital Input/Output) interface. The radio operates in
unlicensed portions of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio frequency spectrum. The device
is compliant with IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n standards using Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM). The device supports all 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n data rates
and automatically adjusts data rates and operational modes based on various
environmental factors.
When operating on channels in the UNII-2 and UNII-2 Extended bands that are in the 5GHz portion of the
frequency spectrum and are subject to Dynamic Frequency Selection requirements, the PH45N fully conforms to
applicable regulatory requirements. If specified types of radar are detected by the network infrastructure, the
PH45N fully conforms to commands from the infrastructure for radar avoidance.
The PH45N interfaces to host devices via a 20-pin connector. The device is based on the Qualcomm Atheros
AR6003 chip which is an integrated device providing a Media Access Controller (MAC), a Physical Layer
Controller (baseband or BB processor), and fully integrated dual-band radio transceiver. To maximize
operational range, the PH45N incorporates external 2.4 and 5 GHz power amplifiers (PA) to increase transmit
power. The frequency stability for both 2.4 GHz (802.11b and 802.11g) and 5 GHz (802.11a) operation is +/- 20
ppm.
The PH45N has its own RF shielding and does not require shielding provided by the host device into which it is
installed in order to maintain compliance with applicable regulatory standards. As such, the device may be
tested in a standalone configuration via an extender card.
The device buffers all data inputs so that it will comply with all applicable regulations even in the presence of
over-modulated input from the host device. Similarly, the PH45N incorporates power regulation to comply with
all applicable regulations even when receiving excess power from the host device.
The PH45N combines the 2.4 and 5 GHz signal path to signal U.FL type antenna connectors to support dual band
transmission and receive. An antenna diversity function is NOT supported in this product. Supported host device
antenna types include dipole and monopole antennas.
Regulatory operational requirements are included with this document and may be incorporated into the
operating manual of any device into which the PH45N is installed. The PH45N is designed for installation into
mobile devices such as vehicle mount data terminals (which typically operate at distances greater than 20 cm
from the human body) and portable devices such as handheld data terminals (which typically operate at
distances less than 20 cm from the human body). See “Documentation Requirements” for more information.

 Note 1:         If the following lines are available on the radio you are integrating into your system, you must
                 connect and control them with the host device.

                 If the radio stays powered up and the host goes down or is reset, communications cannot be re-
                 established with the radio. The host SDIO controller must re-establish communication with the
                 radio by reloading the radio firmware after a power-on or a reset.

Note Regarding CHIP_PWD_L: During power on/down period, the CHIP_PWD_L must be held in low state longer
than 5 µsec (TA and TB) after the VCC3_3 reaches its high state. See Figure 3.
To reset the PH45N, set the CHIP_PWD_L in low state longer than 5 µsec (TC). See Figure 4.

7 INTEGRATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following Wi-Fi information should be taken into consideration when integrating the PH45N.
Series resistors are recommended in all six SDIO lines (27-56 ohms typically):
  ▪    SDIO_CLK                       ▪    SDIO_DATA_1
  ▪    SDIO_CMD                       ▪    SDIO_DATA_2
  ▪    SDIO_DATA_0                    ▪    SDIO_DATA_3


      Note:       Although these values may vary with the properties of your host interface and the
                  PCB, they are a reasonable starting point.

      Note:       The series resistors in the SDIO bus provide several design benefits:

                  If a host controller has too high of a drive strength, then bus ringing may result.
                  Series resistors can reduce this ringing on the I/O lines.

                  Adding 27-56 ohms of series resistance on the SDIO bus will reduce sharp
                  transitional edges, which may reduce EMI.

                  Having the series resistors in the PCB layout allows for design flexibility; if they are
                  later found to be unnecessary, zero (0) ohm jumpers may be used in their place.

PH45N
Datasheet

Also note the following:
▪       Route the SDIO bus as short and as similar in length as possible.
▪       Keep the clock trace separate from other signal traces.


        Notes:       No pull-up is required on the CLK line.

                     Make sure to apply the proper voltage on the VDD_IO input to the SiP to match
                     the signalling voltage of the SDIO host interface (1.8V or 3.3V typically, but it
                     can be anything in between these values).

                     The SDIO host must wait a minimum of 5 µsec before initiating access to the
                     PH45N after VCC3_3 ramps up and settles

9 RF LAYOUT DESIGN GUIDELINES
The following is a list of RF layout design guidelines and recommendation when installing a Laird radio into your
device.
▪      Do not run antenna cables directly above or directly below the radio.
▪      Do not place any parts or run any high speed digital lines below the radio.
▪      If there are other radios or transmitters located on the device (such as a Bluetooth radio), place the devices
       as far apart from each other as possible.
▪      Ensure that there is the maximum allowable spacing separating the antenna connectors on the Laird radio
       from the antenna. In addition, do not place antennas directly above or directly below the radio.
▪      Laird recommends the use of a double shielded cable for the connection between the radio and the antenna
       elements.

Datasheet

▪      Laird has provided three plated mounting holes that can be used for grounding. When additional ground
       plane is required, you may use some or all of these grounded mounting holes.
▪      Use proper electro-static-discharge (ESD) procedures when installing the Laird radio module.

10 REGULATORY
10.1 Certified Antennas
The PH45N will be tested to the regulatory standards defined in the “Certifications” section of the Specifications
table above. Laird Technologies plans to conduct these tests with the following antennas:
Model                                                         Type                Connector     Maximum Gain
                                                                                                2.4-2.5 GHz: 2 dBi

                                                                                                5.6 GHz: 4 dBi

Antennas of differing types and higher gains may be integrated as well. If necessary, with the Laird
Manufacturing Utility software utility, OEMs may reduce the transmit power of the PH45N to account for higher
antenna gain. In some cases, OEMs may be able to reduce certification efforts by using antennas that are of like
type and equal or lesser gain to the above listed antennas.

10.2 FCC and Industry Canada
In order to maintain regulatory compliance, when integrating the Laird PH45N into a host device and leveraging
Laird’s grants and certifications, it is necessary to meet the documentation requirements set forth by the
applicable regulatory agencies. The following sections (FCC, Industry Canada, and European Union) outline the
information that may be included in the user’s guide and external labels for the host devices into which the
PH45N is integrated.
10.2.1 FCC

      Note:        You must place “Contains FCC ID: SQG-PH45N” on the host product in such a location that it can be
