2 Interfaces
Host interface configuration
JODY-W1 uses pins 6, 7, and 8 to accommodate the host interface configuration input that sets the
desired operation after module reset. To configure these pins for a specific operational mode, the
input must be connected to ground using pull-down 10 kΩ (or less) resistor. No external circuitry is
required to set a configuration pin to high logical level.
Although external reset is not a prerequisite for correct operation, the host controller can reset the
module through WL_EN / BT_EN (active high) to correct any abnormal module behavior.
Depending on the module variant, either SDIO or PCIe Wi-Fi host interface must be used:
PCIe enable SDIO disable SDIO VDD select VIO_SD supply Wi-Fi interface
Pin 6 Pin 7 Pin 8 Pin 4
1 1 1 3.3 V or 1.8 V PCIe
0 0 1 1.8 V SDIO 1.8 V
0 0 0 3.3 V SDIO 3.3 V
⚠ Depending on the variant, JODY-W1 series modules support either SDIO or PCIe host interfaces.
The host interface configuration must be selected accordingly, as shown in Table 8. See also
Table 2 and Table 3.
SDIO interface
The SDIO device interface conforms to the industry standard SDIO 3.0 specification that supports
UHS-I bus speed up to 104 MByte/s. It allows host controllers to access the Wi-Fi functions of
JODY-W1 series modules, using the SDIO bus protocol. The interface supports 4-bit SDIO transfer
mode at the full clock range of 0 to 208 MHz.
The interface supports the following modes:
• Default speed and High speed modes
• SDR12, SDR25, SDR50 modes (up to 100 MHz) (1.8 V)
• SDR104 mode (208 MHz) (1.8 V)
• DDR50 mode (50 MHz) (1.8 V)

PCM Interface
JODY-W1 series modules include a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) interface that supports:
• Master or slave mode
• PCM bit width size of 8 bits or 16 bits
• Up to 16 slots with configurable bit width and start positions
• Short frame and long frame synchronization
• Burst PCM mode
The PCM pins of JODY-W1 series modules can be configured to either PCM or I2S interface through
HCI commands. For pin mapping information, see also I2S interface.

Figure 15: PCM burst mode timing specification – long frame sync., receiver only
Table 21: PCM burst mode timing specification – long frame sync., receiver only
I2S interface
JODY-W1 series modules support an I2S interface that provides clock rate in master mode 1.536 MHz
(32 bits per frame) or 2.400 MHz (50 bits per frame).
This interface is addressable over the PCM pins, which can be routed to the I2S interface through HCI
commands. The following I2S signals are mapped with the PCM pins:
• PCM_CLK I2S clock, can be master (output) or slave (input)
• PCM_SYNC I2S WS, can be master (output) or slave (input)
• PCM_OUT I2S data output
• PCM_IN I2S data input
2.6.1 I2S interface specifications
a. The system clock period T must be greater than T tr and Tr because both the transmitter and
receiver must be able to handle the data transfer rate.
b. At all data rates in master mode, the transmitter or receiver generates a clock signal with a fixed
mark/space ratio. For this reason, t HC and tLC are specified with respect to T.
c. In slave mode, the transmitter and receiver need a clock signal with minimum HIGH and LOW
periods so that they can detect the signal. So long as the minimum periods are greater than
0.35Tr, any clock that meets the requirements can be used.
d. Because the delay (tdtr) and the maximum transmitter speed (defined by T tr) are related, a fast
transmitter driven by a slow clock edge can result in t dtr not exceeding tRC which means thtr
becomes zero or negative. Therefore, the transmitter has to guarantee that t htr is greater than or
equal to zero, so long as the clock rise-time tRC is not more than tRCmax, where tRCmax is not less than
0.15Ttr.
e. To allow data to be clocked out on a falling edge, the delay is specified with respect to the rising
edge of the clock signal and T, always giving the receiver sufficient setup time.
f. The data setup and hold time must not be less than the specified receiver setup and hold time.
