GS2200M Low Power WiFi Module Data Sheet GS2200M Architecture Wireless LAN and System Control Subsystem 2.2.1.3 RF/Analog The RF/Analog is a single RF transceiver for IEEE 802.11b/g/n (WLAN). The RF Interface block provides the access to the RF and analog control and status to the CPU. This block is accessible only from the WLAN CPU.
Flash memory on the SoC. Any ROM patch code and new application code must reside in the on-module Flash device of the GS2200M module. Flash access from the two CPUs are independent. The APP CPU is considered the system Master and the code running on this CPU is required to initialize the overall chip and common interfaces.
2.2.5 Real Time Clock (RTC) Overview To provide global time (and date) to the system, the GS2200M module is equipped with a low-power Real Time Clock (RTC). The RTC is the always on block that manages the Standby state.

The system states of the GS2200M system are as follows: Power OFF: No power source connected to the system. Standby: In the standby state, only the RTC portion of the GS2200M is powered from the VRTC pin. The other power supplies are turned off by the DC_DC_CNTL pin being low.
Page 34
GS2200M Architecture GS2200M Low Power WiFi Module Data Sheet Wireless LAN and System Control Subsystem In standby state, the 32.768KHz oscillator keeps running and only the RTC RAM retains the state (how many banks retain their state is SW configurable). SRAM, CPUs and I/Os are all in OFF state, as there is no VREG and no VDDIO being supplied to the GS2200M device.
Page 35
The following are not system states, but are related design notes: Power Control: The GS2200M was designed with the intent that power to the non-RTC portions of the chip be controlled from the DC_DC_CNTL signal. In applications where it is preferred that an external host control the power, this is OK if ALL power, including VRTC power, is turned on and off by the external host.
