12.5 WLAN GPIO Signals and Strapping Options

This section describes WLAN GPIO signals and strapping options. The pins are sampled at power-on reset (POR) to determine the various operating modes. Sampling occurs a few milliseconds after an internal POR or deassertion of the external POR. After the POR, each pin assumes the GPIO or alternative function specified in the signal descriptions table. Each strapping option pin has an internal pull-up (PU) or pull-down (PD) resistor that determines the default mode. To change the mode, connect an external PU resistor to VDDIO or a PD resistor to GND, using a 10 kΩ resistor or less.

Note: Refer to the reference board schematics for more information.

Table 21. Strapping Options

POR to select SDIO.

12.5.1 Multiplexed Bluetooth GPIO Signals

The Bluetooth GPIO pins (BT_GPIO_0 to BT_GPIO_7) are multiplexed pins and can be programmed to be used as GPIOs or for other Bluetooth interface signals such as I2S. The specific function for a given BT_GPIO_X pin is chosen by programming the Pad Function Control register for that specific pin. Table 22 shows the possible options for each BT_GPIO_X pin. Note that each BT_GPIO_X pin's Pad Function Control register setting is independent (BT_GPIO_5 can be set to pad function 7 at the same time that BT_GPIO_3 is set to pad function 0). When the Pad Function Control register is set to 0, the BT_GPIOs do not have specific functions assigned to them and behave as generic GPIOs. The A_GPIO_X pins described below are multiplexed behind the CYW43455's PCM and I2S interface pins.

1. Keeper column: N = pad has no keeper. Y = pad has a keeper. Keeper is always active except in power-down state. If there is no keeper, and it is an input and there is NoPull, then the pad should be driven to prevent leakage due to floating pad (SDIO_CLK, for example).

Document Number: 002-15051 Rev. *O Page 69 of 121

2. In the power-down state (xx_REG_ON=0): High-Z; NoPull => the pad is disabled because power is not supplied.

3. Depending on whether the PCM interface is enabled and the configuration of PCM is in master or slave mode, it can be either output or input.

4. Depending on whether the I2S interface is enabled and the configuration of I2S is in master or slave mode, it can be either output or input.

5. NoPull when in SDIO mode.

13. DC Characteristics

Note: Values in this data sheet are design goals and are subject to change based on the results of device characterization.

13.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings

Caution! The absolute maximum ratings in Table 25 indicate levels where permanent damage to the device can occur, even if these limits are exceeded for only a brief duration. Functional operation is not guaranteed under these conditions. Operation at absolute maximum conditions for extended periods can adversely affect long-term reliability of the device.

13.2 Environmental Ratings

The environmental ratings are shown in Table 26.

13.3 Electrostatic Discharge Specifications

Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Proper use of wrist and heel grounding straps to discharge static electricity is required when handling these devices. Always store unused material in its antistatic packaging.

19. Power-Up Sequence and Timing

19.1 Sequencing of Reset and Regulator Control Signals

The CYW43455 has two signals that allow the host to control power consumption by enabling or disabling the Bluetooth, WLAN, and internal regulator blocks. These signals are described below. Additionally, diagrams are provided to indicate proper sequencing of the signals for various operational states (see Figure 41, Figure 42, and Figure 43 and Figure 44). The timing values indicated are minimum required values; longer delays are also acceptable.

19.1.1 Description of Control Signals

  • WL_REG_ON: Used by the PMU to power-up the WLAN section. It is also OR-gated with the BT_REG_ON input to control the internal CYW43455 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 both the BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON pins are low, the regulators are disabled.
  • BT_REG_ON: Used by the PMU (OR-gated with WL_REG_ON) to power-up the internal CYW43455 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: For 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.

Note: The CYW43455 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 PCIe7 accesses.

Note: VBAT should not rise 10%–90% faster than 40 microseconds. VBAT should be up before or at the same time as VDDIO. VDDIO should NOT be present first or be held high before VBAT is high.

20. Package Information

20.1 Package Thermal Characteristics

Table 64. Package Thermal Characteristics1

CharacteristicWLBGA
JA (°C/W) (value in still air)38.73
JB (°C/W)1.97
JC (°C/W)3.16
JT (°C/W)9.3
JB (°C/W)16.21
Maximum Junction Temperature Tj (°C)123.6
Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1.38

1. No heat sink, TA = 70°C. This is an estimate, based on a 4-layer PCB that conforms to EIA/JESD51–7 (101.6 mm × 101.6 mm × 1.6 mm) and P = 1.119W continuous dissipation.

20.2 Junction Temperature Estimation and PSIJT Versus THETAJC

Package thermal characterization parameter PSI–JT (JT) yields a better estimation of actual junction temperature (TJ) versus using the junction-to-case thermal resistance parameter Theta–JC (JC). The reason for this is that JC 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. JT takes into account power dissipated through the top, bottom, and sides of the package. The equation for calculating the device junction temperature is:

$$T_J = T_T + P \times \mathcal{\Psi}_{JT}$$

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)
  • JT = Package thermal characteristics; no airflow (°C/W)

Absolute Maximum Ratings

Caution! The absolute maximum ratings in Table 25 indicate levels where permanent damage to the device can occur, even if these limits are exceeded for only a brief duration. Functional operation is not guaranteed under these conditions. Operation at absolute maximum conditions for extended periods can adversely affect long-term reliability of the device.

13.3 Electrostatic Discharge Specifications

Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Proper use of wrist and heel grounding straps to discharge static electricity is required when handling these devices. Always store unused material in its antistatic packaging.
