1 SCOPE
This document describes key hardware aspects of the Laird SSD40NBT 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 are drawn from a number of sources and include information found in the Broadcom
BCM4329data sheet issued in June of 2009.
Please contact Laird or visit the Laird to obtain the most recent version of this document:
http://www.lairdtech.com/Products/SSD40NBT/
2 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
This device is an SDC-SSD40NBT radio module which supports IEEE
802.11a/b/g/n standards via an SDIO (Secure Digital Input/Output) interface and
Bluetooth version 2.1 via a serial UART (Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter) 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), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM),
and supports Bluetooth 2.1 using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).
The device supports all 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and Bluetooth 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 SDC-SSD40NBT fully
conforms to applicable regulatory requirements. In the event that specified types of radar are detected by the
network infrastructure, the SDC-SSD40NBT fully conforms to commands from the infrastructure for radar
avoidance.
The SDC-SSD40NBTis a System in Package (SiP) Quad Flat pack, No leads (QFN) module and interfaces to host
devices via a 56-padedge connector. The device is based on the Broadcom BCM4329chip which is an integrated
device providing a Media Access Controller (MAC), a Physical Layer Controller (PHY or baseband processor), and
fully integrated dual-band radio transceiver. To maximize operational range, the SDC-SSD40NBT incorporates a 5
GHz power amplifier (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 SSD40NBT 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 SDC-SSD40NBT incorporates power regulation to
comply with all applicable regulations even when receiving excess power from the host device.
The SDC-SSD40NBT provides two diplexed antenna interfaces to support dual band transmit and receive
diversity. Supported host device antenna types include dipole and monopole antennas.
Note:
When using a single antenna, it must be connected to the AUX port. BT does not function on the Main
port alone.

SSD40NBT
Datasheet
Regulatory operational requirements are included with this document and may be incorporated into the
operating manual of any device into which the SDC-SSD40NBT is installed. The SDC-SSD40NBT 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.
3 BLOCK DIAGRAM
Figure 1: Block Diagram
Note:
Transmitter frequencies for Wi-Fi are 2412-2462 MHz and 5180-5805 MHz. Transmitter frequencies
for BT are 2402-2480 MHz.
Note:
BT functions on the AUX port and not on the Main port. For Wi-Fi and BT single-antenna
implementations, the AUX port must be used.
IMPORTANT: When BT is transmitting high priority traffic (such as during a scan and/or when sending
audio traffic) Wi-Fi receive is sent to the main antenna port (even when set to AUX only). When high
priority transmission ends, Wi-Fi receive functionality returns to the AUX port (when set to AUX only).
For optimal Wi-Fi performance, we recommend that you populate both the Main and the AUX ports
with an antenna.
