HI, I would like to connect to the SDIO bus a Wi-Fi module that works at 1.8V.
Currently the WP7607 SDIO bus voltage is 2.8V.
How to configure the WP7607 to use SDIO bus at 1.8V
Thanks,
Hi ymark
Providing power for this interface with 1.8V to use SDIO bus at 1.8V
Please refer to page 101 in AirPrime_WP76xx_Product_Technical_Specification_Rev11_0.pdf
4.13 Secure Digital IO (SDIO) Interface
The AirPrime WP76XX module defines a 1.8 V/2.85 V SDIO interface
(SD 2.0-compliant) for customer-defined use with SD cards, connection to a Wi-Fi
module, etc.
Note: An external 1.8 V/2.85 V supply is required to supply power to the SD card.

Hi Donald,
My question is about the SDIO signal voltage levels.
The Wi-Fi module is supplied with 1.8V and the SDIO signals voltage is also 1.8V
However the WP7607 SDIO signals voltage is 2.8V
My question is how to configure the WP7607 so that the SDIO signals voltage is also 1.8V
Thanks,
Ymark
Hi ymark
You need to buy a resistor bridge to lower voltage 2.8v to 1.8v
You can contact FTDI to buy it.

HI Donald,
That is something I already know, a beter solution is level shifter or using 2.8V regulator for the IO voltage of the Wi-Fi module
BUT, according to the datasheet :
The SDIO data lines has two levels 1.8V/2.8V
1 - is the datasheet wrong?
2 - if not there must be a way to tell the WP7607 to use SDIO data signals at 1.8V, in this case my question is how?
Hi ymark
The level of SDIO IO pin is by negotiated, you can change it in Yocto source to fix the voltage at 1.8v.
Please report your ticket to the Legato forum for more assistance in this case.
HI Donald,
Thanks,
I’ll continue to Legato forum
