BCM4319
Single-Chip IEEE 802.11™ a/b/g/n MAC/Baseband/
Radio with Integrated SDIO and USB Interfaces
GE NE R AL DE S C RI PT ION
GE NE R AL DE S C RI PT ION
The Broadcom BCM4319 single-chip device provides
the highest level of integration for Wi-Fi enabled SDIO
and USB-based wireless systems. Featuring an IEEE
802.11™ a/b/g/n MAC/baseband/radio with integrated
CMOS, Power Amplifiers (PAs) and a power
management unit (PMU) the BCM4319 provides a
compact, ultrasmall form factor solution with few
required external components. This enables highvolume costs to be driven down and allows flexibility
in the size, form, and function of handheld devices.
In addition, the BCM4319 includes integrated transmit
and receive baluns for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
RF paths, further reducing the overall solution cost.
The BCM4319 supports SDIO (4-bit, 1-bit, and Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI) modes), generic SPI
(gSPI), USB 2.0 (device), and local Bluetooth®
coexistence host interfaces.
Using advanced design techniques and process
technology to deliver the lowest active and idle power,
the BCM4319 extends system battery life in mobile
systems, while maintaining consistent connectivity
and high performance.
Integrated CMOS WLAN 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz power
amplifiers provide sufficient output power to meet the
needs of most WLAN devices. An optional external
PA and Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) are also
supported.
To simplify the system power topology and to enable
operation directly from the battery of a mobile
platform, the BCM4319 includes one switching
regulator (buck mode), five linear low dropout (LDO)
voltage regulators, and an advanced PMU. A variable
input voltage range of 2.7V–5.5V is supported.
The integrated buck regulator enables the internal
power amplifiers to operate at optimal performance,
even at low VBAT supply voltages.

Mobile Phone Usage Model
Mobile Phone Usage Model
The BCM4319 has a flexible Universal Serial Bus (USB) and a secure digital input/output (SDIO) interface for
cellular phone applications, enabling it to transparently connect to existing circuits. In addition, the temperaturecompensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) input allows the use of existing clock sources within the system to further
minimize the size, power, and cost of the complete system.
The BCM4319 incorporates the following unique features for easy integration into mobile phone platforms:
•
The TCXO interface accommodates typical cell phone reference frequencies.
•
The transceiver’s highly linear design ensures the lowest spurious output regardless of operating state. It
has been fully characterized in all global cellular bands.
•
The transceiver design, with minimal required external filtering, has excellent blocking and intermodulation
performance in the presence of the following cellular transmissions:
– Global Standard for Mobile Communications (GSM)
– General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
– Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
– Wideband CDMA (WCDMA)
– Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (IDEN).
•

Power Supplies and Management
S e c t io n 2 : P o w e r S u p p l i e s a n d
M a na g e m e n t
Power Management
The BCM4319 has been designed with the stringent power consumption requirements of mobile devices in
mind. All areas of the chip design are optimized to minimize power consumption. Silicon processes and cell
libraries were chosen to reduce leakage current and supply voltages. Additionally, the BCM4319 integrated
RAM is a high Vt memory with dynamic clock control. Leakage current is the dominant supply current consumed
by the RAM.
The BCM4319 includes an advanced wireless local area network (WLAN) PMU. The PMU provides significant
power savings by putting the BCM4319 into various power management states appropriate to the current
environment and activities that are being performed. The power management unit enables and disables internal
regulators, switches, and other blocks based on a computation of the required resources and the relationship
between resources and the time needed to enable and disable them. Power-up sequences are fully
programmable. Configurable, free-running counters (running on an internal LPO clock) in the PMU are used to
turn individual regulators and power switches on and off. Clock speeds are dynamically changed or gated for
the current mode. Slower clock speeds are used wherever possible.
The BCM4319 power states are described as follows:
•
Active mode—All BCM4319 cores are powered up and fully functional with active carrier sensing, frame
transmission, and frame reception. All required regulators are enabled and put in the most efficient mode,
either Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) or Burst, based on the load current. Clock speeds are dynamically
adjusted by the PMU.
•
Sleep mode—The radio, analog front end (AFE), Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs), and read-only memories
(ROMs) are powered down. The rest of the BCM4319 remains powered up in an IDLE state. All main
clocks are shut down. The internal 32 kHz clock is used by the PMU to wake the chip and transition to
Active mode. In Sleep mode, the primary power consumed is due to leakage current. The internal
baseband switcher is put into burst mode for better efficiency at low load currents.
•
Power-down mode—The BCM4319 is effectively powered off by shutting down all internal regulators. The
chip is brought out of this mode by external logic re-enabling the internal regulators.
Voltage Regulators
One Buck regulator, five LDO regulators, and a PMU are integrated into the BCM4319. All regulators are
programmable via the PMU.
•
Core Buck: 2.7–5.5V in; 1.4V, 300 mA out
•
Low-noise LNLDO1: 1.4V in; 1.2V, 150 mA out
•
Low-noise LNLDO2 (optional): 1.4V or 3.3V in; 1.2V or 2.5V, 50 mA out
•
Low-noise CLDO: 1.4V in; 1.2V, 200 mA out

Power Supply Topology

•
LDO2p5V: 2.7 – 5.5V in; 2.5V, 50 mA out for USB2.0 Phy
Power Supply Topology
The BCM4319 contains power supply building blocks, including a switching regulator, four LDOs, and a power
amplifier LDO (see Figure 4 on page 18). These blocks simplify power supply design for WLAN in embedded
designs. All regulator inputs and outputs are brought out to pins on the BCM4319, thereby enabling maximum
system design flexibility in choosing which of the integrated regulators to use.
A single host power supply, ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, can be used with all additional voltages being provided
by BCM4319 regulators. For additional information see Section 12: “Internal Regulator Electrical Specifications,”
on page 68. Alternately, if specific rails such as 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.2V already exist in the system, appropriate
regulators in the BCM4319 can be disabled, thereby reducing the cost and board space associated with external
regulator components such as inductors and large capacitors.
When WL_REG_ON is low (< 1.2 – 20% = 0.96V) or the voltage at VDDIO is less than 0.96V, all six regulators
are powered down.
When WL_REG_ON is high (> 1.6V) and the voltage at VDDIO is greater than 1.6V, the CBUCK, LDO2p5V,
CLDO, and LNLDO1 regulators are powered on by default. The digital logic remains in the reset state while
EXT_POR_L is low or while the internal POR is asserted. The internal POR circuit generates a reset within 110
ms after VDDC and VDDIO stabilize. After the resets are deasserted, the BCM4319 powers up the PALDO,
OTP, and clock circuitry.
After the digital logic is active and the software is running, the state of all the regulators is controlled dynamically.
To keep the digital logic powered up, CBUCK and CLDO cannot be powered down. They can, however, be put
into low-power modes. The PALDO can be powered ON or OFF under software control to reduce power
consumption, for example during sleep mode.
There is a 200 KΩ (±20%) internal pull-down on WL_REG_ON, which can be disabled after the digital logic is
active.
•
The voltage at WL_REG_ON should not exceed 3.6V.
•
The IO supply for the EXT_POR_L pin is VDDIO.
•
VBAT and VDDIO should be supplied externally: VDDIO cannot be supplied by the output of any of the six
regulators.
•
The POR delays are different for the three IO supplies:
• VDDIO = 110 ms
• VDDIO_SD = 8 us
• VDDIO_RF = 3.4 ms
The trip point of the internal POR circuit is VDDC ~ 0.8V or VDDIO/VDDIO_SD/VDDIO_RF ~ 0.9V and the IOs
remain in tristate during the respective POR.

PMU Sequencer
The PMU sequencer is responsible for minimizing system power consumption. It enables and disables various
system resources based on a computation of the required resources and the relationship between resources
and their enable and disable times.
In each device state, a minimum set of resources is always available, as defined in the PMU control registers.
Additional resources can be enabled on request from various sources, including clock requests from cores and
timers in any of the active resources. The PMU sequencer maps clock requests into a set of resources required
to produce the requested clocks.

BCM4319 Preliminary Data Sheet
Low-Power Shutdown
Each resource is in one of four states: enabled, disabled, transition_on, and transition_off. Each resource 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 resource's time_on or time_off value when the PMU determines that the resource
must be enabled or disabled, and it 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:
1. Computes the required resource set based on requests and the resource dependency table.
2. Decrements all timers whose values are nonzero. If a timer reaches 0, the PMU clears the ResourcePending
bit for the resource and inverts the ResourceState bit.
3. Compares the request with the current resource status and determines which resources must be enabled or
disabled.
4. Initiates a disable sequence for each resource that is enabled, no longer being requested, and has no
powered-up dependents.
5. Initiates an enable sequence for each resource that is disabled, is being requested, and has all of its
dependencies enabled.
Low-Power Shutdown
The BCM4319 provides a low-power shutdown feature that allows the device to be turned off while the host and
other system devices remain operational. When the BCM4319 is not needed in the system, WL_REG_ON
should be driven low while VDDIO remains powered. This allows the BCM4319 to be effectively off while
keeping the I/O pins powered, so that they do not draw extra current from any other devices connected to the I/
O.
During a low-power shutdown state, provided VDDIO remains applied to the BCM4319, all outputs are tristated,
and most inputs signals are disabled. Input voltages must remain within the limits defined for normal operation.
This is done to prevent current paths or to create loading on any digital signals in the system, and it enables the
BCM4319 to be fully integrated in an embedded device and to take full advantage of the lowest power saving
modes.
The frequency reference input (XTALIN) is designed to be a high-impedance input that does not load down the
driving signal, even if the chip does not have VDDIO power applied to it.
When the BCM4319 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 before it was powered down.

Frequency References
S e c t i o n 3 : F re q u e n c y R e f e r e n c e s
The BCM4319 uses the following frequency references for normal and low-power operational modes:
•
An external crystal or external frequency reference driven by a TCXO signal is used for generating all radio
frequencies and normal operation clocking.
•
An internal 32.768 kHz sleep clock is provided for use by the PMU during low power states.
Crystal Interface and Clock Generation
The BCM4319 uses a fractional-N synthesizer to generate the radio frequencies, clocks, and data/packet timing.
This enables it to operate using numerous frequency references derived from an external source such as a
TCXO or a crystal connected directly to the BCM4319. The default frequency reference is a 30 MHz, 10 ppm
crystal or TCXO. The requirements and characteristics for the crystal circuit and external frequency reference
are listed in Table 1.

reference frequency set correctly in order for any of the UART interfaces to function properly, since all bit timing
is derived from the reference frequency.

Frequency Trimming
The BCM4319 is set at the factory to a default frequency of 30 MHz. For a typical design using a crystal, it is
recommended that the default frequency be used: for USB Mode, 30 MHz is required.
Frequency Trimming
The BCM4319 uses a fractional-N synthesizer to digitally fine tune the frequency reference input to within ±2
ppm tuning accuracy. This trimming function can be applied to the crystal or an external frequency source such
as a TCXO. Unlike typical crystal trimming methods, the BCM4319 uses a fully digital implementation to change
the frequency, which is much more stable and tolerant of the crystal characteristics and temperature. The input
impedance and loading characteristics remain unchanged on either the TCXO or the crystal during the trimming
process and are unaffected by process and temperature variations.

Global Functions
Section 4: Global Functions
General-Purpose Input/Output Interface
There are eight General-Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins on the BCM4319, which can be used to control various
external devices. Upon power-up and reset, these pins become tri-stated. Subsequently, they can be
programmed to be either input or output pins via the GPIO control register. If a GPIO output enable is not
asserted and the corresponding GPIO signal is not being driven externally, then the GPIO is read as high.
Each GPIO has a programmable option to enable/disable internal pull-up or pull-down (60 KΩ) resistors. The
default setting depends on the strapping options: if a strapping option is assigned to a GPIO pin then the default
pull is according to the default strapping value. Otherwise, there is no default pull on the GPIO.
GPIOs that do not have interfering strapping options can be safely used as input pins. All GPIOs can be safely
used in output mode.
Internal pull-up and pull-down resistors are active only when VDDC and VDDIO are present.
After the driver is loaded, the software disables the pull to reduce leakage.
UART Interface
One UART interface is provided, which enables the BCM4319 to operate as RS-232 data termination equipment
(DTE) for exchanging and managing data with other serial devices. The UART interface is primarily used for
debugging during development. It is compatible with the industry standard 16550 UART, and it provides a FIFO
size of 64 × 8 in each direction.
One-Time-Programmable (OTP) Memory
Various hardware configuration parameters may be stored in an internal 2k-bit OTP memory, which is read by
system software after device reset. In addition, customer-specific parameters, including the system vendor ID
and the MAC address, can be stored, depending on the specific board design. A programming utility is provided
with the Broadcom manufacturing test tools.
As an alternative to using the internal OTP, an external 4-wire SPROM interface can be enabled.

SDIO V2.0
The USB 2.0 PHY handles the USB protocol and the serial signaling interface between the host and the device.
It is primarily responsible for data transmission and recovery. On the transmit side, data and a clock are encoded
using the NRZI scheme with bit stuffing to ensure that the receiver detects a transition in the data stream. A
SYNC field that precedes each packet enables the receiver to synchronize the data and clock recovery circuits.
On the receive side, the serial data is deserialized, unstuffed, and checked for errors. The recovered data and
clock are then shifted to the clock domain that is compatible with the internal bus logic.
The endpoint management unit contains the PIE control logic and the endpoint logic. The PIE interfaces the
packet buffers to the USB transceiver. It handles packet identification (PID), USB packets, and transactions. The
endpoint logic contains nine uniquely addressable endpoints. These endpoints are the source or sink of
communication flow between the host and the device. Endpoint zero is used as a default control port for both
the input and output directions. The USB system software uses this default control method to initialize and
configure the device information and allows USB status and control access. Endpoint zero is always accessible
after a device is attached, powered, and reset.
Endpoints are supported by 512-byte FIFO buffers, one for each IN endpoint and one shared by all OUT
endpoints. Both TX and RX data transfers support a DMA burst of 4, which guarantees low latency and
maximum throughput performance. The RX FIFO can never overflow by design. The maximum USB packet size
cannot be more than 512 bytes.
SDIO V2.0
The SDIO Interface is enabled by a strapping option, see Table 8 on page 56 for details.
The BCM4319 supports all of the SDIO version 2.0 modes:
•
1-bit SDIO-SPI mode (25 Mbps)
•
1-bit SDIO-SD mode (25 Mbps)
•
4-bit SDIO-SD Default Speed mode (100 Mbps)
•
4-bit SDIO-SD High Speed mode (200 Mbps)
The SDIO interface supports the full clock range, from 0 to 50 MHz.
The chip has the ability to stop the SDIO clock between transactions to reduce power consumption. As an
option, GPIO_0 pin may be mapped to provide an SDIO Interrupt signal. This out-of-band interrupt is hardware
generated and is always valid (unlike the SDIO in-band interrupt, which is signalled only when data is not driven
on SDIO lines).The ability to force control of the gated clocks from within the WLAN chip is also provided.
Three functions are supported:
•
Function 0
Standard SDIO function. Maximum BlockSize/ByteCount = 32 bytes.
•
Function 1
Backplane function to access the internal System-on-a-Chip (SoC) address space.
Maximum BlockSize/ByteCount = 64 bytes.
•
Function 2
WLAN function for efficient WLAN packet transfer through direct memory access (DMA).
Maximum BlockSize/ByteCount = 512 bytes.
Detailed SDIO pin description and signal connection block diagrams are shown in Section 9: “Pinout and Signal
Descriptions,” on page 45. In addition, the generic SPI (gSPI) mode, with clock ranges from 0 to 48 MHz, is
supported.

Write
The host puts the first bit of the data onto the bus one-half clock-cycle before the first active edge following the
CS going low. The following bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SPI clock. The device samples the
data on the active edge.
Write-Read
The host reads on the rising edge of the clock requiring data from the device to be made available before the
first rising clock edge of the clock burst for the data. The last clock edge of the fixed delay word can be used to
represent the first bit of the following data word. This allows data to be ready for the first clock edge without
relying on asynchronous delays.
Read
The read command always follows a separate write to set up the WLAN device for a read. This command differs
from the write-read command in the following respects: a) chip selects go high between the command/address
and the data and b) the time interval between the command/address is not fixed.

Status
The SPI interface supports status notification to the host after a read/write transaction. This status notification
provides information about any packet errors, protocol errors, information about available packet in the RX
queue, etc. The status information helps in reducing the number of interrupts to the Host. The status-reporting
feature can be switched off using a register bit, without any timing overhead. The SPI bus timing for read/write
transactions with and without status notification are as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 on page 32. See

SPI Host-Device Handshake
To initiate communication through the SPI after power-up, the Host needs to bring up the WLAN/Chip by writing
to the Wake-up WLAN register bit. Writing a 1 to this bit will start up the necessary crystals and PLLs so that the
BCM4319 is ready for data transfer. The device can signal an interrupt to the Host indicating that the device is
awake and ready. This procedure also needs to be followed for waking up the device in sleep mode. The device
can interrupt the Host using the WLAN IRQ line whenever it has any information to pass to the Host. On getting
an interrupt, the Host needs to read the interrupt and/or status register to determine the cause of interrupt and
then take necessary actions.
Boot-Up Sequence
After power-up, the SPI Host needs to wait for the device to be out of reset. For this, the Host needs to poll with
a read command to F0 addr 0x14. Address 0x14 contains a predefined bit pattern. As soon as the Host gets a
response back with the correct register content, it implies that the device has powered up and is out of reset.
After that, the Host needs to set wakeup-wlan bit (F0 reg 0x00 bit 7). Wakeup-wlan issues a clock request to the
PMU.
For the first time after power-up, the Host needs to wait for the availability of low power clock inside the device.
Once that is available, the host needs to write to a PMU register to set the crystal frequency. This will turn on
the PLL. After the PLL is locked, chipActive interrupt is issued to the Host. This indicates device awake/ready
status. See Table 3 for information on SPI registers.

S e c t i o n 6 : 8 0 2 . 11 a / b / g / n M A C a nd P H Y
Introduction to the IEEE 802.11™ Standard
The IEEE 802.11™ standard defines two different ways to configure a wireless network: ad hoc mode and
infrastructure mode. In ad hoc mode, nodes are brought together to form a network on the fly, whereas
infrastructure mode uses fixed access points through which mobile nodes can communicate. These network
access points are sometimes connected to wired networks through bridging or routing functions.
The medium access control (MAC) layer is a contention resolution protocol that is responsible for maintaining
order in the use of a shared wireless medium. IEEE 802.11 specifies both contention-based and contention-free
channel access mechanisms. The contention-based scheme is also called the distributed coordination function
(DCF) and the contention-free scheme is also called the point coordination function (PCF).
The DCF employs a carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol. In this protocol,
when the MAC receives a packet to be transmitted from its higher layer, the MAC first listens to ensure that no
other node is transmitting. If the channel is clear, it then transmits the packet. Otherwise, it chooses a random
backoff factor that determines the amount of time the node must wait until it is allowed to transmit its packet.
During periods in which the channel is clear, the MAC waiting to transmit decrements its backoff counter, and
when the channel is busy, it does not decrement its backoff counter. When the backoff counter reaches zero,
the MAC transmits the packet. Because the probability that two nodes will choose the same backoff factor is
low, collisions between packets are minimized. Collision detection, as employed in Ethernet, cannot be used for
the radio frequency transmissions of devices following IEEE 802.11. The IEEE 802.11 nodes are half-duplex—
when a node is transmitting, it cannot hear any other node in the system that is transmitting because its own
signal drowns out any others arriving at the node.
Optionally, when a packet is to be transmitted, the transmitting node can first send out a short request to send
(RTS) packet containing information on the length of the packet. If the receiving node hears the RTS, it responds
with a short clear to send (CTS) packet. After this exchange, the transmitting node sends its packet. When the
packet is received successfully, as determined by a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), the receiving node
transmits an acknowledgment (ACK) packet. This back and forth exchange is necessary to avoid the hidden
node problem. Hidden node is a situation where node A can communicate with node B, node B can
communicate with node C, but node A cannot communicate with node C. For instance, although node A can
sense that the channel is clear, node C can be transmitting to node B. This protocol alerts node A that node B
is busy, and that it must wait before transmitting its packet.

MAC Features
PSM
The programmable state machine (PSM) is a microcode engine that provides most of the low-level hardware
control for implementing the 802.11 specification. It is a microcontroller that is highly optimized for flow control
operations, which are predominant in implementations of communication protocols. The instruction set and
fundamental operations are simple and general, which allows algorithms to be optimized late in the design
process. It also allows algorithm changes to track evolving 802.11 specifications.
The PSM fetches instructions from the microcode memory. It uses shared memory to obtain operands for
instructions and to exchange data between both the host and the MAC data pipeline (via the SHM bus). The
PSM also uses a scratchpad 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 (IHRs). These IHRs are colocated 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 arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) operations, the operands are
obtained from shared memory, scratchpad memory, IHRs, or instruction literals, and the results are written into
the shared memory, scratchpad memory, or IHRs.
There are two basic branch instructions: conditional branches and ALU-based branches. To better support the
many decision points in the 802.11 algorithms, branches can depend on either 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.
WSE
TheWireless Security Engine (WSE) encapsulates all the hardware accelerators to perform encryption,
decryption, and message integrity check (MIC) computation and verification. The accelerators implement the
legacy WEP, WPA TKIP, and WPA2™ AES-CCMP cipher algorithms.
The PSM determines the appropriate cipher algorithm to use based on frame type and association information.
It supplies the keys to the hardware engines from an on-chip key table. WSE interfaces with the transmit engine
(TXE) to encrypt and compute the MIC on transmit frames and the receive engine (RXE) to decrypt and verify
the MIC on receive frames.
TXE
The 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 the WSE 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 Quality of Service (QoS) priority requirements. The PSM
uses the channel access information from the interframe spacing (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.

MAC Features
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.
RXE
The 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 WSE 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.
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 that multiple backoff counters decrement 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. The MAC is restored to its functional state when the timer
expires. 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.
TSF
The TSF module maintains the TSF timer of the MAC. It also maintains the target beacon transmission 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.

PHY Features
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 carriersense 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 a programming interface that can be controlled either by the host or the PSM to configure and control
the PHY.

PHY Features
The PHY has been designed to work with interference, radio nonlinearity, and impairments. It incorporates
efficient implementations of the filters, fast fourier transform (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, and channel estimation and tracking. The
PHY receiver also contains a robust 11b demodulator. The PHY carrier sense has been tuned to provide high
throughput for 802.11g/11b hybrid networks with Bluetooth coexistence. It has also been designed for shared
single antenna systems between WLAN and BT to support simultaneous Rx-Rx. In dual antenna designs, the
digital PHY has been designed for Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) in RF.

The PHY is capable of fully calibrating the RF front end to extract the highest performance. On power-up, PHY
calibrations correct for IQ mismatch and local oscillator leakage. PHY periodic calibrations compensate for
temperature related drift to yield high performance over time. A closed-loop transmit control algorithm maintains
the output power to a fixed level with the capability to control Tx power on a per packet basis.
The PHY can receive two spatial streams. The STBC scheme can obtain diversity gains by using multiple
transmit antennas at the access point (AP) in a fading channel environment, without increasing the complexity
at the station (STA). Details of STBC reception are shown in Figure 16 on page 41.

The BCM4319 includes an integrated dual-band WLAN RF transceiver that has been optimized to provide low
power, low cost, and robust communications for applications operating in the globally available 2.4 GHz
unlicensed ISM or 5 GHz U-NII bands (but not both simultaneously). With its integrated internal transmit power
amplifiers, it provides full output power per the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n specifications. Support for optional external
power amplifiers is also provided. The transmit and receive sections include on-chip filtering, mixing, and gain
control functions.

Receiver Path
Receiver Path
The BCM4319 has a wide dynamic range, direct conversion receiver. It employs high order, on-chip channel
filtering to ensure reliable operation in the noisy 2.4 GHz ISM band or the entire 5 GHz U-NII band. The excellent
noise figure of the receiver makes an external Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) unnecessary.
Transmitter Path
In the transmit path, baseband data is modulated and upconverted to the 2.4 GHz ISM or 5 GHz U-NII bands,
respectively. The integrated linear on-chip PAs are capable of delivering a nominal output power of 20 dBm while
meeting the IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g specifications. The TX gain has a 32 dB range with a resolution of 0.25
dB.
Calibration
The BCM4319 features dynamic on-chip calibration, eliminating process variation across components. This
enables the BCM4319 to be used in high-volume applications because calibration routines are not required
during manufacturing testing. These calibration routines are performed periodically in the course of normal radio
operation. An example of this is automatic calibration of the baseband filters for optimum transmit and receive
performance.

138-Ball WLBGA Package
Signal descriptions for the 138-Ball WLBGA are provided in Table 6. *See Table 7: “SDIO Pin Descriptions,” on
page 54 for additional information.
Note: Digital IOs are not failsafe. Other devices should not drive BCM4319 lines when the
corresponding IO supply is absent. If such a requirement exists in the system, add a series resistor
greater than 3.9 KΩ on the line.
Note: Internal pulls on digital IOs are active only when VDDC and the corresponding IO supply are
present.
Note: XTALIN is failsafe.

Strapping Options and GPIO Functions
The pins listed in Table 8 on page 56 are sampled at power-on reset (POR) after WL_REG_ON goes high, to
determine the various operating modes. Sampling occurs within 150 milliseconds after WL_REG_ON goes high.
After POR each pin assumes the GPIO or alternative function specified in the signal descriptions table. Each
pin has an programmable internal pull-up or pull-down resistor that determines the default mode. To change the
mode, connect an external pull-up resistor to VDDIO or a pull-down resistor to GND—use a 10 KΩ resistor or
less (refer to the reference board schematics for more information).
All GPIOs can be safely used in output mode. GPIOs that do not have interfering strapping options can be safely
used as input pins, specifically including:
•
USB mode: 1, 2, and 3
•
SDIO mode: 1, 2, 3, and 9
•
gSPI mode: 2 and 9

Description
a. Typically used as an output for WLAN_HOST_WAKE and as an out-of-band interrupt for the SDIO interface. It
has a hardware generated interrupt and is always valid (unlike the SDIO in-band interrupt, which is valid only
when data is not driven on the SDIO lines). This out-of-band interrupt mimics the final in-band interrupts so all of
the interrupt enables (such as per-function interrupt enables) should be set appropriately.
b. This pin is often used as an input for the out-of-band power control signal WLAN_WAKE.

a. Functional operation is not guaranteed outside these limits, and operation outside these limits for extended
periods can adversely affect long-term reliability of the device.
b. The BCM4319 is functional across this range of voltages. However, optimal RF performance specified in the
datasheet is only guaranteed while VBAT is between 3.0 and 5.25V.
c. With VBAT = 3.0V PALDO output = 3.0 –0.2 (dropout voltage) = 2.8V
d. The supported voltage range applies to all three I/O supplies: VDDIO, VDDIO_SD, and VDDIO_RF.
VDDIO and VDDIO_SD often use 1.8V signaling; however, VDDIO_RF tends to use a higher voltage rail, such
as 3.3V, because this supply rail is used for the BCM4319 RF switch and front-end control lines. RF front-end
components (such as transmit/receive switches) tend to require higher control voltages.
e. For any other VDDO from 1.8V to 3.3V (±10%), VIH and VIL are specified as VIH = from 0.7 * VDDO to VDDO
and VIL = from 0V to 0.2 * VDDO.

Introduction
The BCM4319 includes an integrated dual-band direct conversion radio that supports either the 2.4 GHz IEEE
802.11g band or the 5 GHz IEEE 802.11a band. The BCM4319 does not provide simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5
GHz operation. This section describes the RF characteristics of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz sections of the radio.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, these specifications apply over the range of operating conditions
specified in Table 9, and Table 10 on page 57, and Table 11 on page 58. Outside these limits, functional
operation is not guaranteed.
Typical values apply for VBAT = 3.6V and ambient temperature = 25°C.

a. Values are measured at the input of the BCM4319. Thus, they include insertion losses from the integrated
baluns, but exclude losses from the external circuits.
b. The blocking levels are valid for channels 1 through 11. (For higher channels, the performance may be lower
due to third harmonic signals (3 × 824 MHz) falling within band.)
c. Derate by 1.5 dB for –30 °C to –10°C and 55°C to 85°C.
d. Sensitivity degradations for alternate settings in MCS modes. MM: 0.5 dB drop, SGI: 2 dB drop, and STBC: 0.75

b. Powers shown are at ChipOut. Measurements taken at the antenna port are lower due to insertion losses of the
external RF front end, including any RF switches or filters. Front end insertion losses are system-design
dependent.
The WLAN driver power-control algorithm keeps the output power within +/- 1.5 dB of the values specified in
NVRAM.
Output power can vary, depending on target output power and modulation offset settings in the NVRAM file.
Values shown assume the following NVRAM variable settings:
pa0maxpwr = 82
cckpo = 0
ofdmpo = 0x44442222
mcs2gpo0 = 0x8888
mcs2gpo1 = 0x8888
mcs2gpo4 = 0x8888
mcs2gpo5 = 0x8888
In this case an insertion loss of 1 dB is assumed between the output and the antenna port.

Power-Up Sequence
Section 13: Power-Up Sequence
SDIO Host Timing Requirement
The SDIO host must wait a minimum of 150 ms after the VDDC (1.25V DC supply for core) ramps up and settles
before initiating access to the BCM4319. For typical designs, one of the BCM4319 internal regulators generates
VDDC: the regulators are enabled by WL_REG_ON going HIGH.
Reset and Regulator Control Signal Sequencing
The BCM4319 has two control signals that allow the host to control power consumption by enabling or disabling
the WLAN and internal regulator blocks. These control signals are as follows:
•
WL_REG_ON: Can be used by a host CPU to power-up or power down the internal BCM4319 regulators.
•
EXT_POR_L: Low asserting reset for the WLAN core. This pin needs to be driven high or low; it must not
be left floating. If EXT_POR_L is low, the BCM4319 core will be powered off.
WL_REG_ON and EXT_POR_L can be tied together.
The timing diagram shown in Figure 21 on page 73 is provided to indicate proper sequencing of the signals for
WLAN operation. The timing values indicated are minimum required values; longer delays are also acceptable.
Note: The timing diagram is not to scale and is only for illustration purposes.

Recommend that WL_REG_ON be LOW when VBAT is 0V.
WL_REG_ON and EXT_POR_L can be tied together and should be low when either VBAT or VDDIO is low.

Junction Temperature Estimation and PSIJT VERSUS THETAJC
Package thermal characterization parameter PSI-JT (ΨJT) yields a better estimation of actual junction
temperature (TJ) versus using the junction-to-case thermal resistance parameter Theta-JC (ΘJC). The reason
for this is ΘJC assumes that all the power is dissipated through the top surface of the package case. In actual
applications, some of the power is dissipated through the bottom and sides of the package. ΨJT takes into
account power dissipated through the top, bottom, and sides of the package.
The equation for calculating the device junction temperature is as follows:
T J = T T + P × Ψ JT
Where:
•
TJ = Junction temperature at steady-state condition (°C)
•
TT = Package case top center temperature at steady-state condition (°C)
•
P = Device power dissipation (Watts)
•
ΨJT = Package thermal characteristics; no airflow (°C/W)
