1) Why is this not a modular approval? May need modular approval. ANS: Device is an Evaluation Kit. 2) Conducted for power misspelled on grant note. ANS: Grant note Corrected 3) 2.5cm in grant note implies this is portable device where SAR limits apply. MPE estimate does not apply to show compliance for portable devices and may be misleading. Please clarify/harmonize grant notes and RFx evaluation if appropriate. ANS: MPE was provided for information purposes. Device is designed for use in computer on a desktop for evaluating 802.11 devices. 4) May need grant note that separate approval is required when installed in specific host devices for use in portable exposure conditions. ANS: Device is an Evaluation Kit, general public does not use the device. 5) May need grant note with 20cm instructions for use without additional evaluation in mobile exposure conditions. ANS: Please refer to #4 6) Why does grant list maximum antenna gain? Part 15 grants are only for specific antennas per 15.203 and 15.204(c). This grant note could imply that other antennas can be used without additional approvals. Please revise. ANS: After the recent TCB training, I discussed this with Joe Dichoso and I was informed the conducted power was listed for 15.247 devices and the antenna gain was listed in the notes. The grant note has been revised for clarity. 7) Is this grant for a BGA module, or for a module evaluation kit? Users manual exhibit is for eval. kit. Please submit installation and use instructions for BGA module. ANS: Device is an Evaluation Kit, used to evaluate 802.11 devices.

Introduction SyChip Inc introduces the world smallest embedded Wireless LAN modules with the size of 25.0x22.5x3.0mm 3 (WLAN6060BB) and 25.0x25.0x4.5 mm 3 (WLAN6060EB). The module incorporates the popular wireless Ethernet standard, 802.11b. It supports BSS (Basic Service Set) and IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set) operation under DCF (Distributed Coordination Function), and operation under the optional PCF (Point Coordination Function). The module provides data rate of up 11Mbps. Through dynamic throughput management, the WLAN6060BB(EB) can adjust its transmit/receive speed to 1, 2, 5.5, or 11Mbps. This technique ensures that the module is performing at the optimal transmission rate for the range signal strength while consuming minimum power. With the form factor of 25.0x22.5x3.0mm 3 (WLAN6060BB) and 25.0x25.0x4.5 mm 3 (WLAN6060EB), the modules enable next generation PDAs, Cellular Phones, and Ultra-thin notebooks to access the Internet, transfer streaming video or audio, images or large files from a WLAN-enabled environment. Key Advantages: • World smallest WLAN(802.11b) modules with miniature size of 25.0x22.5x3.0mm 3 (WLAN6060BB) and 25.0x25.0x4.5 mm 3 (WLAN6060EB) • Firmware implements the full IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN MAC protocol. • Internal WEP64/128 bit engine. • Programmable data rate: 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps. • Support short preamble. • Wi-Fi certifed SyChip Confidential Page 4 of 17 SyChip_WLAN6060 WLAN6060 EMBEDDED MODULE APPICATION NOTES 2. Architecture Block Diagram Figure 1. WLAN6060BB(EB) Block Diagram The design is robust. Utilizing separate chips for the Radio, Base band, and VCO functions enables SyChip to deliver a reliable, consistent product. The RF Transceiver integrated circuit includes an LNA, transmit pre-amplifier, quadrature up/down converter, synthesizer, low pass filter, and RX amplifier. It utilizes Direct Conversion technology, eliminating the need for intermediate-frequency mixer(s), amplifier and filter components. The versatile design of the WLAN6060BB(EB) enables programming of the RF channel frequency from 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz in steps of 1 MHz. This covers all of the RF channels frequencies specified in 802.11b standard. The Baseband Processor is a highly integrated Baseband/MAC . The host interface supports PCMCIA, and CF card applications. SyChip Confidential Page 5 of 17 SyChip_WLAN6060 WLAN6060 …

Functional Description WLAN6060BB(EB) CF/PCMCIA Host Device (PC/PDA) Figure 2. WLAN6060BB(EB) Functional Interface Diagram WLAN6060BB(EB) is a completed WLAN(802.11b) system and only an external antenna needs to be implemented as a standalone unit or as a plug-and-play module in different applications. The RF function provides programming of the RF channel frequency from 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz in steps of 1 MHz. This covers all of the RF channels frequencies specified in 802.11b standard. The RF channel frequency for transmission and reception is stable with 25kHz of its final value, 0.75ms after reprogramming or switching from sleep mode to receive mode. WLAN6060BB(EB) delivers the wireless connection with data rates of 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, and 11Mbps in various environments. A control circuit within the module selects the data rate and power level ensuring optimum performance at the lowest possible power levels at all times. WLAN6060BB(EB) supports 802.11 WEP 64/128 bit security standard. Future versions will support LEAP and 802.1x. WLAN6060BB(EB) currently supports Windows 2000/NT/XP and Win CE3.0 Operating System.
