This document describes key hardware aspects of the Laird 60-2230C-P/ 60-2230C-PU M.2 module providing either PCIe
bus interface for WLAN connection and UART(60-2230C-P)/USB (60-2230C-PU) for Bluetooth
®
(including Low Energy or LE)
connection. This document is intended to assist device manufacturers and related parties with the integration of this
module into their host devices. Data in this document is drawn from the Marvell 88W8997 datasheet issued in April 25,
2016.
Note that the information in this document is subject to change.
Please contact Laird to obtain the most recent version of
this document.
The 60-2230C-P/60-2230C-PU module is a dual band 2x2 802.11ac WLAN plus Bluetooth
4.2 dual mode adapter; it complies with M.2 2230 E-Key standard. The module provides
both simultaneous and independent operation of the following:
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
IEEE 802.11ac (Wave 2), 2x2 receive Multi-User MIMO spatial stream multiplexing
with data rates up to MCS9 (866.7 Mbps)
Bluetooth (Class 1 and Class 2)
Bluetooth 4.2 (with Low Energy or LE)
Bluetooth 5 Ready

operation
Three-way coexistence for WLAN and Bluetooth
Note:
The
Bluetooth
®
word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such
marks by Laird is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners.
Internal coexistence arbitration and a Mobile Wireless System (MWS) serial transport interface provide the functionality for
connecting an external Long Term Evolution (LTE).
The module integrates all WLAN and Bluetooth functionality into a single package which supports low-cost and simple
implementation along with flexibility for platform-specific customization. In addition, it has low power consumption radio
architecture and proprietary power save technologies to extended battery life.
On the DFS engine, the module supports 802.11h Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to detect the presence of radar
signals; support is extended to 80 MHz mode under the 802.11ac channelization modes. In addition, the E-DFS (Enhanced
DFS) scheme is designed to increase pulse detection rates for shorter (0.5 us, 0.8 us, 1 us), in-band DFS pulses. The scheme
is designed to minimize the false-alarm rate for out-of-band DFS pulse.
