6.1.2 Description
The ATWINC1500B MAC is designed to operate at low power while providing high data throughput. The IEEE
802.11 MAC functions are implemented with a combination of dedicated data path engines, hardwired control
logic, and a low-power, high-efficiency microprocessor. The combination of dedicated logic with a
programmable processor provides optimal power efficiency and real-time response while providing the
flexibility to accommodate evolving standards and future feature enhancements. Dedicated data path engines
are used to implement data path functions with heavy computational. For example, an FCS engine checks the
CRC of the transmitting and receiving packets, and a cipher engine performs all the required encryption and
decryption operations for the WEP, WPA-TKIP, WPA2 CCMP-AES, and WAPI security requirements. Control
functions, which have real-time requirements, are implemented using hardwired control logic modules. These
logic modules offer real-time response while maintaining configurability via the processor. Examples of
hardwired control logic modules are the channel access control module (implements EDCA/HCCA, Beacon TX
control, inter-frame spacing, etc.), protocol timer module (responsible for the Network Access Vector, back-off
timing, timing synchronization function, and slot management), MPDU handling module, aggregation/de-
aggregation module, block ACK controller (implements the protocol requirements for burst block
communication), and TX/RX control FSMs (coordinate data movement between PHY-MAC interface, cipher
engine, and the DMA interface to the TX/RX FIFOs).ø
The MAC functions implemented solely in software on the microprocessor have the following characteristics:
Functions with high memory requirements or complex data structures. Examples are association table
management and power save queuing.

6.2.2 Description
The ATWINC1500B WLAN PHY is designed to achieve reliable and power-efficient physical layer
communication specified by IEEE 802.11 b/g/n in single stream mode with 20MHz bandwidth. Advanced
algorithms have been employed to achieve maximum throughput in a real world communication environment
with impairments and interference. The PHY implements all the required functions such as FFT, filtering, FEC
(Viterbi decoder), frequency and timing acquisition and tracking, channel estimation and equalization, carrier
sensing, and clear channel assessment, as well as the automatic gain control.
6.3 Radio
Measured at RF pin assuming 50Ω differential; RF performance guaranteed for temperature range -30 to 85ºC. 1dB
derating in performance at -40ºC.
The basic power supply connections for the ATSAMW25 module are shown in Figure 10-1. The test points
shown (TP1 – TP6) should be added in case Atmel is required to debug the design.
The Wi-Fi chip can use its own internal oscillator for a Real Time Clock (RTC) or it can use an external
32.768KHz clock provided on the RTC pin. Using an external clock derived from a crystal oscillator can be
used as a more accurate sleep timer for the Wi-Fi chip than its own internal oscillator. This in turn can reduce
sleep current. If power consumption during sleep is a priority then a 32.768KHz crystal can be added to the
SAM D21 module as shown in the reference design. The design shown above displays a connection from pin
15 (PA22) to pin 5 (GPIO_1).
GPIO_1 is the input pin for the Wi-Fi’s Real Time Clock. PA22 can be configured to output a 32.768KHz RTC
clock – derived from the 32.768KHz crystal - to be used as the source for the Wi-Fi’s RTC. If cost is a priority
versus power consumption, then the 32.768KHz crystal can be left off of the design and the PA22 – GPIO_1
connection can be deleted.
