Data Sheet February 2009 AR6102 ROCmTM MAC/BB/Radio for 2.4 GHz Embedded WLAN Applications General Description This document describes the AR6102, Rev. 2.1. The Atheros AR6102 is a member of the WLAN ROCm family of chips. The compact size and low power consumption of this design make it an ideal vehicle for adding WLAN to hand-held and other battery-powered consumer electronic devices. The IEEE 802.11g (2.4 GHz) standard is supported by this chipset. The AR6102 family includes a highly integrated, RF front-end (Power Amplifier, Low-Noise Amplifier and RF switch) and high-frequency reference clock, enabling low-cost designs with minimal external components. Advanced architecture and protocol techniques save power during sleep, stand-by and active states. The AR6102 family supports 2, 3 and 4 wire Bluetooth coexistence protocols with advanced algorithms for predicting channel usage by the co-located Bluetooth transceiver. A 26MHz reference clock output is also available, eliminating the need for a dedicated BT clock. The AR6102 provides multiple peripheral interfaces including UART. ■ Wake-on-Wireless (WoW) maximizes host sleep duration ■ 7.4 x 8 mm LGA package ■ Pre-certified to meet FCC, ETSI, and TELEC standards ■ Integrated PA, LNA, RF switch and High Freq Reference Clock, minimizing external component count ■ Integrated RF shielding ■ Suports cellular co-existence with an external band-pass filter AR6102 Feature...
