SG901-1039 Miniature Wi-Fi Radio
This document refers to the SG901-1028 mounted in a Molex connector carrier board
Overview
Features
The SG901-1039 is a single chip based
802.11b/g WLAN radio for embedded, lowpower and very small form factor mobile
applications. The assembly footprint includes a
Molex connector carrier board to facilitate the
interface to Sagrad evaluation boards and for
special industrial/medical applications where
upgrade and simple maintenance is required.
• FCC Module Certification
• RoHs Compliant
• Fully integrated 802.11 Solution
• Custom drivers available for your host
• Extremely small footprint
• Ultra Low Current consumption
• Fully compliant with the IEEE 802.11b and
802.11g WLAN standards
• Support for 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, and
6Mbps OFDM, 11 and 5.5Mbps CCK and
Legacy 2 and 1Mbps data rates
• Single Chip 802.11b/g WLAN solution with fully
integrated:
- Zero IF (ZIF) transceiver,
- Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO),
- High-Speed A/D and D/A Converters,
- Radio Power Management Unit (PMU)
with on-board supply regulators,
- OFDM and CCK baseband processor,
- ARM9 Media Access Controller (MAC),
- SPI serial host interface (up to 48MHz)
- SDIO serial host interface (up to
50MHz)
The product conforms to the IEEE 802.11b and
802.11g protocols operating in the 2.45GHz ISM
frequency band supporting OFDM data rates of
54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, and 6Mbps. It also
supports CCK data rates of 11 and 5.5Mbps and
legacy data rates of 2 and 1Mbps.
The SG901-1039 is a fully integrated wireless
radio including a ZIF transceiver, RF
Synthesizer/VCO, high-speed data converters,
an OFDM/CCK digital baseband processor, an
ARM9-based MAC and a complete Power
Management Unit. The on module Power
Amplifier completes a highly integrated chip set
solution.
Host control is provided by either an SDIO or
SPI interface.
This complete design allows quick integration
into a number of different applications.
• Intelligent Power Control, Including 802.11
Power Save Mode
• Supports SPI interface
• Supports SDIO interface
Applications
• Personal Digital Assistants (PDA)
• Portable Computers
• Hand-held Data Transfer Devices
• Cameras
• Computer Peripherals
• Cable Replacement
• Cellular Phones
