INTRODUCTION
Overview
FSC-BW121 is a Wi-Fi / Bluetooth combo module that
support 1-stream 802.11ac solutions with Multi-user
MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) STA mode
with integrated Bluetooth Smart Ready controller, SDIO
(SDIO 1.1/2.0/3.0) interface, and HS-UART mixed
interface. It combines a WLAN MAC, a 1T1R capable
WLAN baseband, and RF in s single chip. It provides a
complete solution for a high-performance integrated
wireless and Bluetooth device.
General Features
CMOS MAC, Baseband PHY and RF in a single chip
for IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac compatible WLAN
Support 802.11ac 1x1,Wave-2 compliant with MUMIMO STA mode
Complete 802.11n MIMO
en
zh
en
Sh
For legacy compatibility, Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS), Complementary Code Keying (CCK)
and OFDM baseband processing are included to support
all IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11a data rates.
Differential phase shift keying modulation schemes,
DBPSK and DQPSK with data scrambling capability are
available, and CCK provides support for legacy data
rates, with long or short preamble. The high speed
FFT/IFFT paths, combined with BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM,
64QAM and 256QAM modulation of the individual
subcarriers, and rate compatible coding rate of 1/2, 2/3,
3/4, and 5/6, provide up to 433.3Mbps for IEEE
802.11ac MIMO OFDM.
FSC-BW121 Bluetooth controller complies with
Bluetooth core specification v5.3, and supports dual
mode (BR/EDR + Low Energy Controllers). It is
compatible with previous versions, including v2.1 + EDR.
For BR/EDR, it supports scatternet topology and allows
active links in slave mode, and active links in master
mode. For Low Energy, it supports multiple states and
allows active links in master mode. The links in BR/EDR
and LE can be active simultaneously.

FSC-BW121 builds in an enhanced signal detector, an
adaptive frequency domain equalizer, and a softdecision Viterbi decoder to alleviate severe multi-path
effects and mutual interference in the reception of
multiple streams. Robust interference detection and
suppression are provided to protect against Bluetooth,
cordless phone, and microwave oven interference.

FSC-BW121 MAC supports 802.11e for multimedia
applications,
802.11i
and
WAPI
(Wireless
Authentication Privacy Infrastructure) for security, and
802.11n/802.11ac for enhanced MAC protocol
efficiency. Using packet aggregation techniques such as
A-MPDU with BA and A-MSDU, protocol efficiency is
significantly improved. Power saving mechanisms such
as Legacy Power Save, U-APSD, and MIMO power saving
reduce the power wasted during idle time, and
compensate for the extra power required to transmit
MIMO OFDM. FSC-BW121 provides simple legacy,
20MHz/40MHz/80MHz co-existence mechanisms to
ensure backward and network compatibility.

FSC-BW121 supports fast receiver Automatic Gain

FSC-BW121 UART interface is a standard 4-wire interface with RX, TX, CTS, and RTS. The interface supports the Bluetooth
UART HCI H4 and H5 specifications. The default baud rate is 115.2 kbaud. In order to support high and low speed baud
rate, FSC-BW121 provides multiple UART clocks.
The UART signal level ranges from 1.8V to 3.3V. The host provides the power source with the targeted power level to
the UART interface via the VIO_HOST pin .

Table 4: UART Interface Power-On Sequence
3.3V Power Pre-Charge Ramp Up Duration Before Formal Power Up.
We recommend that a 3.3V power-on and then power-off sequence is executed by the host controller
before the formal power on sequence. This procedure can eliminate host card detection issues when
power ramp up duration is too long, or when a system warm reboot fails.
Toff
The duration 3.3V is cut off before formal power up.
T33ramp
The 3.3V main power ramp up duration
T12ramp
The internal 1.2V ramp up duration.
TPOR
The duration from when the power-on reset releases and the power management unit executes power
on tasks. A power on reset will detect both 3.3V and 1.2V power ramp up after a predetermined
duration.
Tnon_rdy
UART Not Ready Duration.
In this state, the FSC-BW121 will not respond to any commands.

FSC-BW121 Datasheet
We recommend that the card detection procedures are divided into two phases: A 3.3V power pre-charge phase and a
formal power-up phase.
During the 3.3V power pre-charge phase, the power ramp up duration is not limited. The 3.3V power is cut off and is
turned on after the Toff period. The ramp up time is specified in the T33ramp duration.
After main 3.3V ramp up and 1.2V ramp up, the power management unit is enabled by the power ready detection
circuit. The power management unit enables the Bluetooth block. The Bluetooth firmware then initializes all circuits,
included the UART. In addition to wait the Tnon_rdy time, if the host supports UART hardware flow control it can detect
RTS signals and follow the formal UART flow control handshake.
