Product short data sheet  
1 Product overview  
The 88W8987 is a highly integrated Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) and Bluetooth single-chip solution,  
specifically designed to support the speed, reliability, and quality requirements of next  
generation Very High Throughput (VHT) products.  
The System-on-Chip (SoC) provides both simultaneous and independent operation of the  
following:  
IEEE 802.11ac (Wave 2), 1x1 with data rates up to MCS9 (433 Mbit/s)  
Bluetooth 5.2 (includes Bluetooth Low Energy (LE))  
The SoC also provides:  
Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth LE dual (Smart Ready) operation  
Wi-Fi indoor location positioning (802.11mc)  
For security, the device supports high performance 802.11i security standards through  
implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)/Counter Mode CBC-  
MAC Protocol (CCMP), AES/Galois/Counter Mode Protocol (GCMP), Wired Equivalent  
Privacy (WEP) with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), AES/Cipher-Based Message  
Authentication Code (CMAC), and WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure  
(WAPI) security mechanisms.  
For video, voice, and multimedia applications, 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS) is  
supported. The device also supports 802.11h Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for  
detecting radar pulses when operating in the 5 GHz range.  
Host interfaces include SDIO 3.0 and high-speed UART interfaces for connecting Wi-Fi  
and Bluetooth technologies to the host processor.  
The device is designed with two front-end configurations to accommodate Wi-Fi and  
Bluetooth on either separate or shared paths:  
2-antenna configuration—1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on separate paths (QFN)  
1-antenna configuration—1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on shared paths (eWLP)  
The following figures show the application diagrams for each package option.

5.5 Pin description  
5.5.1 Pin states  
The pin states information provided in the tables includes:  
• No Pad Power State indicates the state when there is no power  
• PwrDwn State denotes the power-down state in default configuration. Many pads have  
programmable power-down values, which can be set by firmware.  
• Reset State is the state after the power-on-reset state and before the hardware state  
(HW State)  
• HW State (hardware state) is the state after boot code finishes and before firmware  
download begins (firmware may change the pin state). HW State may differ based on  
the pin muxing/strap setting. For example, for UART_RTSn and UART_SOUT, the boot  
code will enable the UART interface when the device is in SDIO-UART mode, making  
the HW states output high and output low, respectively.  
• PwrDwn Prog indicates if the power-down state can be programmed  
• Internal PU/PD columns indicates the following:  
Type of PU/PD (weak vs nominal)  
The polarity (PU vs. PD)  
The internal pull-up or pull-down applies when the pin is in input mode  
• PU denotes whether the pull-up can be programmed or not  
• PD denotes whether the pull-down can be programmed or not  
Pull-up and pull-down are only effective when the pad is in input mode  
After firmware is downloaded, the pads (GPIO, RF control, and so on) are programmed  
in functional mode per the functionality of the pins  
5.5.2 General purpose I/O (GPIO)

5.6 Configuration pins  
Table 16 shows the pins used as configuration inputs to set parameters following a reset.  
The definition of these pins changes immediately after reset to their usual function.  
To set a configuration bit to 0, attach a 50 kΩ–100 kΩ resistor from the pin to ground. No  
external circuitry is required to set a configuration bit to 1.  
See Section 9.11 "Configuration pin specifications" for the internal pull-up values of the  
configuration pins.

6 Power information  
Section 5.5.11 "Power supply and ground" shows the required voltage levels for each rail  
and for PDn input signal.  
6.1 Power-up sequence  
VIO/VIO_RF must be good (90%) before or at the same time all other power supplies  
start ramping up.  
VIO/VIO_RF must be good (90%) before or at the same time PDn starts ramping up.  
VPA must be good (90%) before or at the same time AVDD18 starts ramping up.  
It is recommended to start ramping up AVDD18 ≤1 ms after VPA ramps up.  
AVDD18 must be good (90%) before or at the same time VCORE starts ramping up.  
Ramp-up time of VIO/VIO_RF must be <100 ms.  
Ramp-up time of VPA must be <100 ms.  
Ramp-up time of AVDD18 must be <100 ms.  
Ramp-up time of VCORE must be <5 ms.  
All supplies must be monotonic.  
If using an external crystal oscillator, the reference clock must be stable before PDn  
ramps up.  
Figure 10 shows the power-up sequence.

6.2 Power-down sequence  
It is recommended:  
To ramp down AVDD18 after VPA ramps down  
To discharge all of the power supplies to less than 0.2V to reduce leakage.  
PDn must be asserted when powering down the device.  
Figure 11 shows the power-down sequence.  
VPA (2.2V)  
Less than 0.2V  
AVDD18 (1.8V)  
Less than 0.2V  
Figure 11.ꢀPower-down sequence  
6.3 Reset  
88W8987 is reset to its default operating state under any of the following conditions:  
Internal Power-On Reset (POR): POR is triggered when the device receives power and  
VCORE and AVDD18 supplies are good. See Section 6.1 "Power-up sequence".  
Software/Firmware reset: the software or firmware issues a reset.  
External PDn pin assertion: the device is reset when the PDn input pin is <0.2V and  
transitions from low to high.  
See Section 9.10 "Power-down (PDn) pin specifications" for the electrical specifications.  
6.3.1 Lowest power state  
The device can be put into the lowest power mode of operation to conserve energy when  
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not in use.  
To put the device in the lowest power mode, assert PDn low to enter power-down mode.  
Once PDn is de-asserted, the power sequence must be followed. If the firmware is not  
downloaded, the device must be kept in power-down mode to reduce leakage.
