Marvell Avastar 88W8790 SoC
Bluetooth/FM Single-Chip SoC
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell
®
Avastar™ 88W8790 is a highly integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC) that integrates Bluetooth and FM
radio functions. It is specifically designed to support high throughput data rates for next-generation products and
is part of the Marvell Avastar family of wireless devices. The Avastar family includes single-function and multi-
function radios that establish new industry benchmarks for power consumption, wireless performance, solution
footprint and advanced features.
The Marvell Avastar 88W8790 is designed to support Bluetooth 3.0 (also supports Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR features)
and both FM transmit and receive (digital encoder/decoder FM radio with RDS/RBDS) operation.
The 88W8790 supports generic interfaces including SDIO, SPI (G-SPI), high-speed UART, and PCM for connecting
the Bluetooth core to the host processor.
For FM Tx/Rx, the device supports Inter-IC Sound (I2S) / analog stereo audio interfaces. An I2C-compatible in-
terface is available to connect the FM Tx/Rx to the host processor, as well. The FM Tx/Rx can also share the host
interface with Bluetooth.
The device supports a coexistence interface for external, co-located 2.4 GHz radios.
The 88W8790 is available in two TFBGA package options.
