INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope
The WM201-RTL8188CE is the WLAN + BT Combo solution for the Notebook / Netbook / UMPC/
MID to enable Wireless and Bluetooth functionalities on your portable systems.
z The form factor is Half Mini Card standard 30mm*26.8mm.
z There are two RF antenna connectors for auto diversity to get the best wireless performance. It
enhances the WLAN‐BT coexistence. That’s why the BT and WLAN can perform very well
independently.
z The combo card is cost‐effective solution. With only one slot on the system design, it enables
both WLAN 802.11n 1x1 and Bluetooth features on one card.
z With the software stack upgrade, it can be compliant with latest Bluetooth 3.0+HS specification.
The switchable AMP (Alternate MAC/PHY) algorithm from BT to WLAN will raise the data
transmission rate a lot.
Please refer to the photo of sample shown as below.

1.2 Features
z PCIe v.1.2 HMC (Half MiniCard H2 Type) specification.
z Bluetooth spec. v.2.1 plus EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) and 3.0+HS (High Speed) compliant.
z WLAN 802.11n , 1x1.
z I/O: PCIe for WLAN, and USB bus interface for BT.
z 2* RF connectors for external 2.4G antennas.
z WLAN‐BT coexistence with separate radios.

z WLAN antenna diversity while BT coexists.
z Software upgradable to BT3.0+HS..
z RoHS compliant.
The pin to enable / disable BT will be selectable by system designer. You can choose either
PIN5 ,PIN51, PIN19, or PIN20. Please refer to the 2.1.4 PIN Define. Please select the proper
model accordingly. The ordering models are shown as below.

Windows XP, Vista, Win7.
The Bluetooth software stack could be Motorola or customer consigned. If the software is
confirmed, the software key should be burned into the EEPROM on the module before shipment.
■ BT2.1 + EDR
Win XP
Windows did not provide BT stack in Win XP. It requires the 3‐rd party software stack.
Vista / Win7
Windows Vista SP2 has basic BT stack support. It’s enough for normal user experience
such as BT mouse, keyboard, stereo headset, speaker; and the wireless connection with
mobile phone, handheld devices.

■ BT3.0 + HS
XP/Vista/Win7
Windows did not have compatible BT3.0 stack to allow APM (Alternate MAC/PHY) switch
from BT to WLAN. So, it requires the 3‐rd party software stack, such as latest Motorola
BT3.0+HS version of software stack.
The package spec will be subject to updated until customer approval.
