General Description
The Cypress® CYW4339 single-chip device provides the highest level of integration for Internet of Things and handheld wireless
system with integrated single-stream IEEE 802.11ac MAC/baseband/radio and Bluetooth 4.1. In IEEE 802.11ac mode, the WLAN
operation supports rates of MCS0–MCS9 (up to 256 QAM) in 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 80 MHz channels for data rates up to 433.3 Mbps.
In addition, all the rates specified in IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n are supported. Included on-chip are 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz transmit amplifiers,
and receive low-noise amplifiers. Optional external PAs, LNAs, and antenna diversity are also supported.
For the WLAN section, several alternative host interface options are included: an SDIO v3.0 interface that can operate in 4b or 1b
and a PCIe Gen1 interface (3.0 compliant). For the Bluetooth section, host interface options of a high-speed 4-wire UART and USB
2.0 full-speed (12 Mbps) are provided.
Using advanced design techniques and process technology to reduce active and idle power, the CYW4339 is designed to address
the needs of mobile devices that require minimal power consumption and compact size. It includes a power management unit which
simplifies the system power topology and allows for direct operation from a mobile platform battery while maximizing battery life.
The CYW4339 implements highly sophisticated enhanced collaborative coexistence hardware mechanisms and algorithms, which
ensure that WLAN and Bluetooth collaboration is optimized for maximum performance. In addition, coexistence support for external
radios (such as LTE cellular, GPS, and WiMAX) is provided via an external interface. As a result, enhanced overall quality for
simultaneous voice, video, and data transmission is achieved.

A single VBAT (3.0V to 5.25V DC maximum) and VIO supply (1.8V to 3.3V) can be used, with all additional voltages being provided
by the regulators in the CYW4339.
Two control signals, BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON, are used to power up the regulators and take the respective section out of
reset. The CBUCK CLDO and LNLDO power up when any of the reset signals are deasserted. All regulators are powered down only
when both BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON are deasserted. The CLDO and LNLDO may be turned off and on based on the dynamic
demands of the digital baseband.
The CYW4339 allows for an extremely low power-consumption mode by completely shutting down the CBUCK, CLDO, and LNLDO
regulators. When in this state, LPLDO1 and LPLDO2 (which are low-power linear regulators that are supplied by the system VIO
supply) provide the CYW4339 with all the voltages it requires, further reducing leakage currents.

■ Active mode— All WLAN blocks in the CYW4339 are powered up and fully functional with active carrier sensing and frame trans-
mission and receiving. All required regulators are enabled and put in the most efficient mode based on the load current. Clock
speeds are dynamically adjusted by the PMU sequencer.
■ Doze mode—The radio, analog domains, and most of the linear regulators are powered down. The rest of the CYW4339 remains
powered up in an IDLE state. All main clocks (PLL, crystal oscillator or TCXO) are shut down to reduce active power consumption
to the minimum. The 32.768 kHz LPO clock is available only for the PMU sequencer. This condition is necessary to allow the PMU
sequencer to wake up the chip and transition to Active mode. In Doze mode, the primary power consumed is due to leakage cur-
rent.
■ Deep-sleep mode—Most of the chip, including both analog and digital domains, and most of the regulators are powered off. Logic
states in the digital core are saved and preserved into a retention memory in the always-ON domain before the digital core is pow-
ered off. Upon a wake-up event triggered by the PMU timers, an external interrupt, or a host resume through the SDIO bus, logic
states in the digital core are restored to their pre-deep-sleep settings to avoid lengthy HW reinitialization.
■ Power-down mode—The CYW4339 is effectively powered off by shutting down all internal regulators. The chip is brought out of
this mode by external logic reenabling the internal regulators.
Resource requests may come from several sources: clock requests from cores, the minimum resources defined in the ResourceMin
register, and the resources requested by any active resource request timers. The PMU sequencer maps clock requests into a set of
resources required to produce the requested clocks.
Each resource is in one of four states (enabled, disabled, transition_on, and transition_off) and has a timer that contains 0 when the
resource is enabled or disabled and a nonzero value in the transition states. The timer is loaded with the time_on or time_off value of
the resource when the PMU determines that the resource must be enabled or disabled. That timer decrements on each 32.768 kHz
PMU clock. When it reaches 0, the state changes from transition_off to disabled or transition_on to enabled. If the time_on value is
0, the resource can go immediately from disabled to enabled. Similarly, a time_off value of 0 indicates that the resource can go
immediately from enabled to disabled. The terms enable sequence and disable sequence refer to either the immediate transition or
the timer load-decrement sequence.
During each clock cycle, the PMU sequencer performs the following actions:
■ Computes the required resource set based on requests and the resource dependency table.
■ Decrements all timers whose values are non zero. If a timer reaches 0, the PMU clears the Resource Pending bit for the resource
and inverts the Resource State bit.
■ Compares the request with the current resource status and determines which resources must be enabled or disabled.
■ Initiates a disable sequence for each resource that is enabled, no longer being requested, and has no powered up dependents.
■ Initiates an enable sequence for each resource that is disabled, is being requested, and has all of its dependencies enabled.
During a low-power shut-down state, the provided VDDIO remains applied to the CYW4339, all outputs are tristated, and most input
signals are disabled. Input voltages must remain within the limits defined for normal operation. This is done to prevent current paths
or create loading on any digital signals in the system, and enables the CYW4339 to be fully integrated in an embedded device and
take full advantage of the lowest power-savings modes.
When the CYW4339 is powered on from this state, it is the same as a normal power-up, and the device does not retain any information
about its state from before it was powered down.
Signal Description
WL_REG_ON This signal is used by the PMU (with BT_REG_ON) to power up the WLAN section. It is also OR-gated with the BT_REG_ON
input to control the internal CYW4339 regulators. When this pin is high, the regulators are enabled and the WLAN section is
out of reset. When this pin is low, the WLAN section is in reset. If BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON are both low, the regulators
are disabled. This pin has an internal 200 k pull-down resistor that is enabled by default. It can be disabled through
programming.
BT_REG_ON This signal is used by the PMU (with WL_REG_ON) to decide whether or not to power down the internal CYW4339 regulators.
If BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON are low, the regulators will be disabled. This pin has an internal 200 k pull-down resistor
that is enabled by default. It can be disabled through programming.
3. Frequency References
An external crystal is used for generating all radio frequencies and normal operation clocking. As an alternative, an external frequency
reference may be used. In addition, a low-power oscillator (LPO) is provided for lower power mode timing.

WRF_XTAL_OUT
A fractional-N synthesizer in the CYW4339 generates the radio frequencies, clocks, and data/packet timing, enabling the CYW4339
to operate using a wide selection of frequency references.
For SDIO applications, the recommended default frequency reference is a 37.4 MHz crystal. The signal characteristics for the crystal
interface are listed in Table 2.
Note: Although the fractional-N synthesizer can support alternative reference frequencies, frequencies other than the default require
support to be added in the driver, plus additional extensive system testing. Contact Cypress for details.
If used, the external clock should be connected to the WRF_XTAL_IN pin through an external 1000 pF coupling capacitor, as shown
in Figure 4. The internal clock buffer connected to this pin will be turned off when the CYW4339 goes into sleep mode. When the clock
buffer turns on and off, there will be a small impedance variation. Power must be supplied to the WRF_XTAL_BUCK_VDD1P5 pin.

3. For a clock reference other than 37.4 MHz, 20 × log10(f/37.4) dB should be added to the limits, where f = the reference clock frequency in MHz.
5. It is the responsibility of the equipment designer to select oscillator components that comply with these specifications.
6. Assumes that external clock has a flat phase-noise response above 100 kHz.
Note: The fractional-N synthesizer can support many reference frequencies. However, frequencies other than the default require
support to be added in the driver plus additional, extensive system testing. Contact Cypress for details.
The reference frequency for the CYW4339 may be set in the following ways:
■ Set the xtalfreq=xxxxx parameter in the nvram.txt file (used to load the driver) to correctly match the crystal frequency.
■ Autodetect any of the standard handset reference frequencies using an external LPO clock.
For applications such as handsets and portable smart communication devices, where the reference frequency is one of the standard
frequencies commonly used, the CYW4339 automatically detects the reference frequency and programs itself to the correct reference
frequency. In order for automatic frequency detection to work correctly, the CYW4339 must have a valid and stable 32.768 kHz LPO
clock that meets the requirements listed in Table 3 and is present during power-on reset.
The CYW4339 is the optimal solution for any Bluetooth voice and/or data application. The Bluetooth subsystem presents a standard
Host Controller Interface (HCI) via a high-speed UART and PCM for audio. The CYW4339 incorporates all Bluetooth 4.1 features
including Secure Simple Pairing, Sniff Subrating, and Encryption Pause and Resume.
The CYW4339 Bluetooth radio transceiver provides enhanced radio performance to meet the most stringent mobile phone
temperature applications and the tightest integration into handsets and portable devices. It is fully compatible with any of the standard
TCXO frequencies and provides full radio compatibility to operate simultaneously with GPS, WLAN, and cellular radios.
The Bluetooth transmitter also features a Class 1 power amplifier with Class 2 capability.
4.1 Features
■ Fully supports Bluetooth Core Specification version 4.1 + (Enhanced Data Rate) EDR features:
■ Scatternet operation with up to four active piconets with background scan and support for scatter mode
■ High-speed HCI UART transport support with low-power out-of-band BT_DEV_WAKE and BT_HOST_WAKE signaling (see Host
Controller Power Management )
4.2.1 Transmit
The CYW4339 features a fully integrated zero-IF transmitter. The baseband transmit data is GFSK-modulated in the modem block
and upconverted to the 2.4 GHz ISM band in the transmitter path. The transmitter path performs signal filtering, I/Q upconversion,
output power amplification, and RF filtering. The transmitter path also incorporates /4-DQPSK and 8-DPSK modulations for 2 Mbps
and 3 Mbps EDR support, respectively. The transmitter section is compatible to the Bluetooth Low Energy specification. The trans-
mitter PA bias can also be adjusted to provide Bluetooth Class 1 or Class 2 operation.
4.2.5 Receiver
The receiver path uses a low-IF scheme to downconvert the received signal for demodulation in the digital demodulator and bit
synchronizer. The receiver path provides a high degree of linearity, an extended dynamic range, and high-order on-chip channel
filtering to ensure reliable operation in the noisy 2.4 GHz ISM band. The front-end topology, with built-in out-of-band attenuation,
enables the CYW4339 to be used in most applications with minimal off-chip filtering. For integrated handset operation, in which the
Bluetooth function is integrated close to the cellular transmitter, external filtering is required to eliminate the desensitization of the
receiver by the cellular transmit signal.
4.2.9 Calibration
The CYW4339 radio transceiver features an automated calibration scheme that is fully self contained in the radio. No user interaction
is required during normal operation or during manufacturing to provide the optimal performance. Calibration optimizes the perfor-
mance of all the major blocks within the radio to within 2% of optimal conditions, including gain and phase characteristics of filters,
matching between key components, and key gain blocks. This takes into account process variation and temperature variation.
Calibration occurs during normal operation during the settling time of the hops and calibrates for temperature variations as the device
cools and heats during normal operation in its environment.
The following transmit and receive functions are also implemented in the BBC hardware to increase reliability and security of the TX/
RX data:
■ Symbol timing recovery, data deframing, forward error correction (FEC), header error control (HEC), cyclic redundancy check
(CRC), data decryption, and data dewhitening in the receiver.
■ Data framing, FEC generation, HEC generation, CRC generation, key generation, data encryption, and data whitening in the
transmitter.
■ Extended Inquiry Response (EIR): Shortens the time to retrieve the device name, specific profile, and operating mode.
■ Encryption Pause Resume (EPR): Enables the use of Bluetooth technology in a much more secure environment.
■ Sniff Subrating (SSR): Optimizes power consumption for low duty cycle asymmetric data flow, which subsequently extends bat-
tery life.
■ Secure Simple Pairing (SSP): Reduces the number of steps for connecting two devices, with minimal or no user interaction
required.
■ Link Supervision Time Out (LSTO): Additional commands added to HCI and Link Management Protocol (LMP) for improved link
time-out supervision.
■ QoS enhancements: Changes to data traffic control, which results in better link performance. Audio, human interface device
(HID), bulk traffic, SCO, and enhanced SCO (eSCO) are improved with the erroneous data (ED) and packet boundary flag (PBF)
enhancements.

in designs that have an external reference clock source from the host. It is irrelevant on clock-based designs where the
BTH device generates its own reference clock from an external crystal connected to its oscillator circuit.
x The timing diagram assumes that VBAT is present.
■ Physical layer packet-handling turns the RF on and off dynamically within transmit/receive packets.
■ Bluetooth-specified low-power connection modes: sniff, hold, and park. While in these modes, the CYW4339 runs on the low-
power oscillator and wakes up after a predefined time period.
■ A low-power shutdown feature allows the device to be turned off while the host and any other devices in the system remain oper-
ational. When the CYW4339 is not needed in the system, the RF and core supplies are shut down while the I/O remains powered.
This allows the CYW4339 to effectively be off while keeping the I/O pins powered so they do not draw extra current from any other
devices connected to the I/O.
During the low-power shut-down state, provided VDDIO remains applied to the CYW4339, all outputs are tristated, and most input
signals are disabled. Input voltages must remain within the limits defined for normal operation. This is done to prevent current paths
or create loading on any digital signals in the system and enables the CYW4339 to be fully integrated in an embedded device to take
full advantage of the lowest power-saving modes.
Two CYW4339 input signals are designed to be high-impedance inputs that do not load the driving signal even if the chip does not
have VDDIO power supplied to it: the frequency reference input (WRF_TCXO_IN) and the 32.768 kHz input (LPO). When the
CYW4339 is powered on from this state, it is the same as a normal power-up, and the device does not contain any information about
its state from the time before it was powered down.
■ Fill in zeros.
■ Ramp down the output audio signal toward zero (this is the method used in current Bluetooth headsets).
■ Repeat the last frame (or packet) of the received bitstream and decode it as usual (frame repeat).
These techniques cause distortion and popping in the audio stream. The CYW4339 uses a proprietary waveform extension algorithm
to provide dramatic improvement in the audio quality. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show audio waveforms with and without Packet Loss
Concealment. Cypress PLC and bit-error correction (BEC) algorithms also support wideband speech.
Support is provided for platforms that share a single antenna between Bluetooth and WLAN. The CYW4339 radio architecture allows
for lossless simultaneous Bluetooth and WLAN reception for shared antenna applications. This is possible only via an integrated
solution (shared LNA and joint AGC algorithm). It has superior performance versus implementations that need to arbitrate between
Bluetooth and WLAN reception.
The CYW4339 integrated solution enables MAC-layer signaling (firmware) and a greater degree of sharing via an enhanced coexis-
tence interface. Information is exchanged between the Bluetooth and WLAN cores without host processor involvement.
The CYW4339 also supports Transmit Power Control (TPC) on the STA together with standard Bluetooth TPC to limit mutual inter-
ference and receiver desensitization. Preemption mechanisms are utilized to prevent AP transmissions from colliding with Bluetooth
frames. Improved channel classification techniques have been implemented in Bluetooth for faster and more accurate detection and
elimination of interferers (including non-WLAN 2.4 GHz interference).
The Bluetooth AFH classification is also enhanced by the WLAN core’s channel information.
The ARM core is paired with a memory unit that contains 608 KB of ROM memory for program storage and boot ROM, 192 KB of
RAM for data scratch-pad and patch RAM code. The internal ROM allows for flexibility during power-on reset to enable the same
device to be used in various configurations. At power-up, the lower-layer protocol stack is executed from the internal ROM memory.
External patches may be applied to the ROM-based firmware to provide flexibility for bug fixes or feature additions. These patches
may be downloaded from the host to the CYW4339 through the UART transports. The mechanism for downloading via UART is
identical to the proven interface of the CYW4329 and CYW4330 devices.
6.2 Reset
The CYW4339 has an integrated power-on reset circuit that resets all circuits to a known power-on state. The BT power-on reset
(POR) circuit is out of reset after BT_REG_ON goes high. If BT_REG_ON is low, then the POR circuit is held in reset.
Additionally, proprietary sleep mode and half-duplex handshaking is implemented between the SPI master and the CYW4339. The
SPI_INT is required to negotiate the start of a transaction. The SPI interface does not require flow control in the middle of a payload.
The FIFO is large enough to handle the largest packet size. Only the SPI master can stop the flow of bytes on the data lines, since it
controls SPI_CSB and SPI_CLK. Flow control should be implemented in the higher layer protocols.
■ If the BT_HOST_WAKE (BT_GPIO1) pin is pulled low by an external pull-down during power-up, the SPI transport interface is
selected.
■ If the BT_HOST_WAKE (BT_GPIO1) pin is not pulled low externally during power-up, then the default internal pull-up is detected
as a high and the UART transport interface is selected.
The configuration of the PCM interface may be adjusted by the host through the use of vendor-specific HCI commands.

7.4.2 Operation
The CYW4339 can be configured to boot up as either a single USB peripheral or a USB hub with several USB peripherals attached.
As a single peripheral, the host detects a single USB Bluetooth device. In hub mode, the host detects a hub with one to three of the
ports already connected to USB devices (see Figure 14).
Host
Hub Controller
Depending on the desired hub mode configuration, the CYW4339 can boot up showing the three ports connected to logical USB
devices internal to the CYW4339: a generic Bluetooth device, a mouse, and a keyboard. In this mode, the mouse and keyboard are
emulated devices, since they connect to real HID devices via a Bluetooth link. The Bluetooth link to these HID devices is hidden from
the USB host. To the host, the mouse and/or keyboard appear to be directly connected to the USB port. This Broadcom proprietary
architecture is called USB HID Emulation (UHE).
The USB device, configuration, and string descriptors are fully programmable, allowing manufacturers to customize the descriptors,
including vendor and product IDs, the CYW4339 uses to identify itself on the USB port. To make custom USB descriptor information
available at boot time, stored it in external NVRAM.
Despite the mode of operation (single peripheral or hub), the Bluetooth device is configured to include the following interfaces:
Interface 0 Contains a Control endpoint (Endpoint 0x00) for HCI commands, a Bulk In Endpoint (Endpoint 0x82) for receiving ACL
data, a Bulk Out Endpoint (Endpoint 0x02) for transmitting ACL data, and an Interrupt Endpoint (Endpoint 0x81) for HCI
events.
Interface 1 Contains Isochronous In and Out endpoints (Endpoints 0x83 and 0x03) for SCO traffic. Several alternate Interface 1
settings are available for reserving the proper bandwidth of isochronous data (depending on the application).
Interface 2 Contains Bulk In and Bulk Out endpoints (Endpoints 0x84 and 0x04) used for proprietary testing and debugging purposes.
These endpoints can be ignored during normal operation.
The presence of UHE devices requires the hub to be enabled. The CYW4339 cannot appear as a single keyboard or a single mouse
device without the hub. Once either mouse or keyboard UHE device is enabled, the hub must also be enabled.
When the hub is enabled, the CYW4339 handles all standard USB functions for the following devices:
■ HID keyboard
■ HID mouse
■ Bluetooth
All hub and device descriptors are firmware-programmable. This USB compound device configuration (see Figure 14) supports up to
three downstream ports. This configuration can also be programmed to a single USB device core. The device automatically detects
activity on the USB interface when connected. Therefore, no special configuration is needed to select HCI as the transport.
When operating in hub mode, all three internal devices do not have to be enabled. Each internal USB device can be optionally enabled.
The configuration record in NVRAM determines which devices are present.

UART has a 1040-byte receive FIFO and a 1040-byte transmit FIFO to support EDR. Access to the FIFOs is conducted through the
AHB interface through either DMA or the CPU. The UART supports the Bluetooth 4.1 UART HCI specification: H4, a custom Extended
H4, and H5. The default baud rate is 115.2 Kbaud.
The UART supports the 3-wire H5 UART transport, as described in the Bluetooth specification (“Three-wire UART Transport Layer”).
Compared to H4, the H5 UART transport reduces the number of signal lines required by eliminating the CTS and RTS signals.
The CYW4339 UART can perform XON/XOFF flow control and includes hardware support for the Serial Line Input Protocol (SLIP).
It can also perform wake-on activity. For example, activity on the RX or CTS inputs can wake the chip from a sleep state.
Normally, the UART baud rate is set by a configuration record downloaded after device reset, or by automatic baud rate detection,
and the host does not need to adjust the baud rate. Support for changing the baud rate during normal HCI UART operation is included
through a vendor-specific command that allows the host to adjust the contents of the baud rate registers. The CYW4339 UARTs
operate correctly with the host UART as long as the combined baud rate error of the two devices is within ±2%.

The master clock is generated from the input reference clock using a N/M clock divider.
In the slave mode, any clock rate is supported to a maximum of 3.072 MHz.

1. The system clock period T must be greater than Ttr and Tr because both the transmitter and receiver have to be able to handle the data
transfer rate.
2. At all data rates in master mode, the transmitter or receiver generates a clock signal with a fixed mark/space ratio. For this reason, tHC and
tLC are specified with respect to T.
3. In slave mode, the transmitter and receiver need a clock signal with minimum HIGH and LOW periods so that they can detect the signal. So
long as the minimum periods are greater than 0.35Tr, any clock that meets the requirements can be used.
4. Because the delay (tdtr) and the maximum transmitter speed (defined by Ttr) are related, a fast transmitter driven by a slow clock edge can
result in tdtr not exceeding tRC which means thtr becomes zero or negative. Therefore, the transmitter has to guarantee that thtr is greater than
or equal to zero, so long as the clock rise-time tRC is not more than tRCmax, where tRCmax is not less than 0.15Ttr.
5. To allow data to be clocked out on a falling edge, the delay is specified with respect to the rising edge of the clock signal and T, always giving
the receiver sufficient setup time.
6. The data setup and hold time must not be less than the specified receiver setup and hold time.
Note: The time periods specified in Figure 17 and Figure 18 are defined by the transmitter speed. The receiver specifications must
match transmitter performance.

At 0.19 µW/MHz, the Cortex-R4 is the most power efficient general-purpose microprocessor available, outperforming 8- and 16-bit
devices on MIPS/µW. It supports integrated sleep modes.
Using multiple technologies to reduce cost, the ARM Cortex-R4 offers improved memory utilization, reduced pin overhead, and
reduced silicon area. It supports independent buses for Code and Data access (ICode/DCode and System buses), and extensive
debug features including real time trace of program execution.
On-chip memory for the CPU includes 768 KB SRAM and 640 KB ROM.
The initial state of all bits in an unprogrammed OTP device is 0. After any bit is programmed to a 1, it cannot be reprogrammed to 0.
The entire OTP array can be programmed in a single write cycle using a utility provided with the Cypress WLAN manufacturing test
tools. Alternatively, multiple write cycles can be used to selectively program specific bytes, but only bits which are still in the 0 state
can be altered during each programming cycle.
Prior to OTP memory programming, all values should be verified using the appropriate editable nvram.txt file, which is provided with
the reference board design package.
Upon power up and reset, these pins become tristated. Subsequently, they can be programmed to be either input or output pins via
the GPIO control register. In addition, the GPIO pins can be assigned to various other functions (see Table 26, “CYW4339 GPIO/SDIO
Alternative Signal Functions,”).
Figure 19 shows the LTE coexistence interface. See Table 26, “CYW4339 GPIO/SDIO Alternative Signal Functions,” for details on
multiplexed signals such as the GPIO pins.
See Table 13, “Example of Common Baud Rates,” for UART baud rates.

NOTES:
SECI_OUT/BT_TXD and SECI_IN/BT_RXD, on the BCM4339, are multiplexed on the
GPIOs.
The 2-wire LTE coexistence interface is intended for future compatibility with the BT
SIG 2-wire interface that is being standardized for Core 4.1.
ORing to generate ISM_RX_PRIORITY for ERCX_TXCONF or BT_RX_PRIORITY is
achieved by setting the GPIO mask registers appropriately.
See Table 26, “CYW4339 GPIO/SDIO Alternative Signal Functions,” for JTAG pin assignments.
The four SPROM control signals —SPROM_CS, SPROM_CLK, SPROM_DIN, and SPROM_DOUT are multiplexed on the SDIO
interface (see Table 26, “CYW4339 GPIO/SDIO Alternative Signal Functions,” for additional details). By default, the SPROM interface
supports 2 kbit serial SPROMs, and it can also support 4 kbit and 16 kbit serial SPROMs by using the appropriate strapping option.
■ DS: Default speed (DS) up to 25 MHz, including 1- and 4-bit modes (3.3V signaling).
Note: The CYW4339 is backward compatible with SDIO v2.0 host interfaces.
The SDIO interface also has the ability to map the interrupt signal on to a GPIO pin for applications requiring an interrupt different
from the one provided by the SDIO interface. The ability to force control of the gated clocks from within the device is also provided.
SDIO mode is enabled by strapping options. Refer to Table 19 WLAN GPIO Functions and Strapping Options.

Note: Per Section 6 of the SDIO specification, pull-ups in the 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ range are required on the four DATA lines and the CMD

programming of the SDIO host’s internal pull-ups.
Organization of the PCIe core is in logical layers: Transaction Layer, Data Link Layer, and Physical Layer, as shown in Figure 22. A
configuration or link management block is provided for enumerating the PCIe configuration space and supporting generation and
reception of System Management Messages by communicating with PCIe layers.
Each layer is partitioned into dedicated transmit and receive units that allow point-to-point communication between the host and
CYW4339 device. The transmit side processes outbound packets while the receive side processes inbound packets. Packets are
formed and generated in the Transaction and Data Link Layer for transmission onto the high-speed links and onto the receiving device.
A header is added at the beginning to indicate the packet type and any other optional fields.
Transaction Transaction
Layer Layer
TX RX TX RX
A pipelined full split-transaction protocol is implemented in this layer to maximize efficient communication between devices with credit-
based flow control of TLP, which eliminates wasted link bandwidth due to retries.
Data Link Layer Packets (DLLPs) are generated and consumed by the data link layer. DLLPs are the mechanism used to transfer link
management information between data link layers of the two directly connected components on the link, including TLP acknowl-
edgement, power management, and flow control.
9.2.5 Scrambler/Descrambler
This PCIe PHY component generates pseudo-random sequence for scrambling of data bytes and the idle sequence. On the transmit
side, scrambling is applied to characters prior to the 8b/10b encoding. On the receive side, descrambling is applied to characters after
8b/10b decoding. Scrambling may be disabled in polling and recovery for testing and debugging purposes.
Using this scheme, 8-bit data characters are treated as 3 bits and 5 bits mapped onto a 4-bit code group and a 6-bit code group,
respectively. The control bit in conjunction with the data character is used to identify when to encode one of the twelve Special Symbols
included in the 8b/10b transmission code. These code groups are concatenated to form a 10-bit symbol, which is then transmitted
serially. Special Symbols are used for link management, frame TLPs, and DLLPs, allowing these packets to be quickly identified and
easily distinguished.
To further minimize ISI, multiple bits of the same polarity that are output in succession are de-emphasized. Subsequent same bits are
reduced by a factor of 3.5 dB in power. This amount is specified by PCIe to allow for maximum interoperability while minimizing the
complexity of controlling the de-emphasis values. The high-speed interface requires AC coupling on the transmit side to eliminate the
DC common mode voltage from the receiver. The range of AC capacitance allowed is 75 nF to 200 nF.

The CYW4339 WLAN media access controller (MAC) supports features specified in the IEEE 802.11 base standard, and amended
by IEEE 802.11n. The key MAC features include:
■ Transmission and reception of aggregated MPDUs (A-MPDU) for high throughput (HT)
■ Support for power management schemes, including WMM power-save, power-save multi-poll (PSMP) and multiphase PSMP
operation
■ Support for RTS/CTS and CTS-to-self frame sequences for protecting frame exchanges
■ Back-off counters in hardware for supporting multiple priorities as specified in the WMM specification
■ Timing synchronization function (TSF), network allocation vector (NAV) maintenance, and target beacon transmission time
(TBTT) generation in hardware
■ Hardware offload for AES-CCMP, legacy WPA TKIP, legacy WEP ciphers, WAPI, and support for key management
■ Programmable independent basic service set (IBSS) or infrastructure basic service set functionality
10.1.1 PSM
The programmable state machine (PSM) is a micro-coded engine, which provides most of the low-level control to the hardware, to
implement the IEEE 802.11 specification. It is a microcontroller that is highly optimized for flow control operations, which are predom-
inant in implementations of communication protocols. The instruction set and fundamental operations are simple and general, which
allows algorithms to be optimized until very late in the design process. It also allows for changes to the algorithms to track evolving
IEEE 802.11 specifications.
The PSM fetches instructions from the microcode memory. It uses the shared memory to obtain operands for instructions, as a data
store, and to exchange data between both the host and the MAC data pipeline (via the SHM bus). The PSM also uses a scratch-pad
memory (similar to a register bank) to store frequently accessed and temporary variables.
The PSM exercises fine-grained control over the hardware engines, by programming internal hardware registers (IHR). These IHRs
are co-located with the hardware functions they control, and are accessed by the PSM via the IHR bus.
The PSM fetches instructions from the microcode memory using an address determined by the program counter, instruction literal,
or a program stack. For ALU operations the operands are obtained from shared memory, scratch-pad, IHRs, or instruction literals,
and the results are written into the shared memory, scratch-pad, or IHRs.
There are two basic branch instructions: conditional branches and ALU based branches. To better support the many decision points
in the IEEE 802.11 algorithms, branches can depend on either a readily available signals from the hardware modules (branch condition
signals are available to the PSM without polling the IHRs), or on the results of ALU operations.
10.1.2 WEP
The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) engine encapsulates all the hardware accelerators to perform the encryption and decryption, and
MIC computation and verification. The accelerators implement the following cipher algorithms: legacy WEP, WPA TKIP, WPA2 AES-
CCMP.
The PSM determines, based on the frame type and association information, the appropriate cipher algorithm to be used. It supplies
the keys to the hardware engines from an on-chip key table. The WEP interfaces with the TXE to encrypt and compute the MIC on
transmit frames, and the RXE to decrypt and verify the MIC on receive frames.
10.1.3 TXE
The transmit engine (TXE) constitutes the transmit data path of the MAC. It coordinates the DMA engines to store the transmit frames
in the TXFIFO. It interfaces with WEP module to encrypt frames, and transfers the frames across the MAC-PHY interface at the
appropriate time determined by the channel access mechanisms.
The data received from the DMA engines are stored in transmit FIFOs. The MAC supports multiple logical queues to support traffic
streams that have different QoS priority requirements. The PSM uses the channel access information from the IFS module to schedule
a queue from which the next frame is transmitted. Once the frame is scheduled, the TXE hardware transmits the frame based on a
precise timing trigger received from the IFS module.
The TXE module also contains the hardware that allows the rapid assembly of MPDUs into an A-MPDU for transmission. The hardware
module aggregates the encrypted MPDUs by adding appropriate headers and pad delimiters as needed.
10.1.4 RXE
The receive engine (RXE) constitutes the receive data path of the MAC. It interfaces with the DMA engine to drain the received frames
from the RXFIFO. It transfers bytes across the MAC-PHY interface and interfaces with the WEP module to decrypt frames. The
decrypted data is stored in the RXFIFO.
The RXE module contains programmable filters that are programmed by the PSM to accept or filter frames based on several criteria
such as receiver address, BSSID, and certain frame types.
The RXE module also contains the hardware required to detect A-MPDUs, parse the headers of the containers, and disaggregate
them into component MPDUS.
10.1.5 IFS
The IFS module contains the timers required to determine interframe space timing including RIFS timing. It also contains multiple
backoff engines required to support prioritized access to the medium as specified by WMM.
The interframe spacing timers are triggered by the cessation of channel activity on the medium, as indicated by the PHY. These timers
provide precise timing to the TXE to begin frame transmission. The TXE uses this information to send response frames or perform
transmit frame-bursting (RIFS or SIFS separated, as within a TXOP).
The backoff engines (for each access category) monitor channel activity, in each slot duration, to determine whether to continue or
pause the backoff counters. When the backoff counters reach 0, the TXE gets notified, so that it may commence frame transmission.
In the event of multiple backoff counters decrementing to 0 at the same time, the hardware resolves the conflict based on policies
provided by the PSM.
The IFS module also incorporates hardware that allows the MAC to enter a low-power state when operating under the IEEE power
save mode. In this mode, the MAC is in a suspended state with its clock turned off. A sleep timer, whose count value is initialized by
the PSM, runs on a slow clock and determines the duration over which the MAC remains in this suspended state. Once the timer
expires the MAC is restored to its functional state. The PSM updates the TSF timer based on the sleep duration ensuring that the TSF
is synchronized to the network.
The IFS module also contains the PTA hardware that assists the PSM in Bluetooth coexistence functions.
10.1.6 TSF
The timing synchronization function (TSF) module maintains the TSF timer of the MAC. It also maintains the target beacon trans-
mission time (TBTT). The TSF timer hardware, under the control of the PSM, is capable of adopting timestamps received from beacon
and probe response frames in order to maintain synchronization with the network.
The TSF module also generates trigger signals for events that are specified as offsets from the TSF timer, such as uplink and downlink
transmission times used in PSMP.
10.1.7 NAV
The network allocation vector (NAV) timer module is responsible for maintaining the NAV information conveyed through the duration
field of MAC frames. This ensures that the MAC complies with the protection mechanisms specified in the standard.
The hardware, under the control of the PSM, maintains the NAV timer and updates the timer appropriately based on received frames.
This timing information is provided to the IFS module, which uses it as a virtual carrier-sense indication.
MAC-PHY Interface
The MAC-PHY interface consists of a data path interface to exchange RX/TX data from/to the PHY. In addition, there is an
programming interface, which can be controlled either by the host or the PSM to configure and control the PHY.
The PHY has been designed to work in the presence of interference, radio nonlinearity, and various other impairments. It incorporates
optimized implementations of the filters, FFT and Viterbi decoder algorithms. Efficient algorithms have been designed to achieve
maximum throughput and reliability, including algorithms for carrier sense/rejection, frequency/phase/timing acquisition and tracking,
channel estimation and tracking. The PHY receiver also contains a robust IEEE 802.11b demodulator. The PHY carrier sense has
been tuned to provide high throughput for IEEE 802.11g/11b hybrid networks with Bluetooth coexistence. It has also been designed
for shared single antenna systems between WL and BT to support simultaneous RX-RX.

differential transmit and receive paths to single-ended signal pins.
11.3 Calibration
The CYW4339 features dynamic and automatic on-chip calibration to continually compensate for temperature and process variations
across components. These calibration routines are performed periodically in the course of normal radio operation. Examples of some
of the automatic calibration algorithms are baseband filter calibration for optimum transmit and receive performance, and LOFT
calibration for carrier leakage reduction. In addition, I/Q Calibration, R Calibration, and VCO Calibration are performed on-chip. No
per-board calibration is required in manufacturing test, which helps to minimize the test time and cost in large volume production.

■ BT_REG_ON: Used by the PMU (OR-gated with WL_REG_ON) to power up the internal CYW4339 regulators. If both the
BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON pins are low, the regulators are disabled. When this pin is low and WL_REG_ON is high, the BT
section is in reset.
Note:
■ 2w2For both the WL_REG_ON and BT_REG_ON pins, there should be at least a 10 ms time delay between consecutive toggles
(where both signals have been driven low). This is to allow time for the CBUCK regulator to discharge. If this delay is not followed,
then there may be a VDDIO in-rush current on the order of 36 mA during the next PMU cold start.
■ The CYW4339 has an internal power-on reset (POR) circuit. The device will be held in reset for a maximum of 110 ms after VDDC
and VDDIO have both passed the POR threshold. Wait at least 150 ms after VDDC and VDDIO are available before initiating
SDIO accesses.
VBAT should not rise 10%–90% faster than 40 microseconds. VBAT should be up before or at the same time as VDDIO. VDDIO
