Voltage regulators
Voltage regulators
..................................................................................
The module takes in 3.3V±9% (3.00V to 3.60V) as its main input power. This power is
filtered and used as a 3.3V supply to portions of the digital logic. This power also
acts as input to dedicated on-board voltage regulators.
Voltage monitor — Reset generator
..................................................................................
The module provides a voltage monitor or automatic reset signal generator; but the
module can also set into reset with the RESET pin on the edge connector.
LEDS
..................................................................................
The module does not have any on-board LEDs, but it drives the LED_WLAN# signal
(pin 44) to indicate WLAN association and transmit/receive activity. This table
shows the different LED states:
LED state
Indication
Off
Not powered on

Power
..................................................................................
The module requires only +3.3 VDC, 750 mA max. This power must be a wellregulated +3.3V supply due to limited supply filtering in the module. The digital
inputs and outputs are 3.3V CMOS compatible. See “Power requirements” on
page 31 for specifications.
DISABLE signal
www.digiembedded.com
The module supports the active low W_DISABLE# signal (pin 20) as specified in the PCI
Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification. This signal not only disables the
power supplies to the radio portion of the module, it also powers down additional
portions of the module to reduce power consumption to a minimum.

.....
ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD
Power supply
..................................................................................
The development board provides a 3.3VDC switching power supply. Either a bench
power supply or an AC wall adapter supplies input power to the development board.
The required input voltage range is 9–30VDC.
Input power jack,
J3
The input power jack, J3, is a barrel connector that accepts 9-30 VDC. The power
jack is labeled J3 on the development board. This figure schematically represents
the power jack’s polarity:
Ground
Input power
supply
The output current of this regulator is limited to 2.4 amps and the Digi Connect WiWave 802.11 b/g module draws no more than .750 amps. Using these values as a
guideline, and using an 80% efficiency for the switching regulator, the input power
supply should be rated to provide at least 3 watts of power.
Important:

9-30VDC +/- 5%
The development board can use USB power as the power source for the
3.3V regulator. This is accomplished by simply connecting the USB
cable to the development board. However, Digi recommends using the
supplied AC wall adapter.

Digi Connect Wi-Wave 802.11 b/g Hardware Reference, Rev. B 2/2010
Chapter 3:Using the Antenna
he Digi Connect Wi-Wave 802.11 b/g development board supports one type of
antenna:

29000146 ANT, WHIP 2.4 GHz Dipole
Attach the U.FL-to-U.FL cables, provided in the development kit, to both the
module and the development board. There are two cables included; whether you
use one cable or both depends on how you set up your antenna(s).
Be sure that the antenna you use complies with the regulatory requirements of your
region. In North America, for example, you can operate only with antennas
approved by Digi International, Inc., or antennas matching the specifications of
Digi-approved antennas.
Necessary
Conditions for
Integration
The following conditions are necessary for integration:

The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the
antenna and users for all installations.

The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or
antenna.

The Module is approved using the FCC “unlicensed modular transmitter
approval” method; therefore, the module must be used with the originallyapproved antennas only.
As long as you meet these three conditions, further transmitter testing will not
be required. However, you are still responsible for testing your end-product
for any additional compliance requirements associated with this module
installation (e.g., digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
Note: In the event that any of these conditions cannot be met (e.g., portable
configurations, co-location with another transmitter, or use of a different antenna),
then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid, and you are unable to use
the FCC ID on the final product. In these circumstances, you will be responsible for
re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate
FCC authorization.

USING THE ANTENNA
General information
Connect
Wi-Wave 802.11
b/g antenna
configurations
The Digi Connect Wi-Wave 802.11 b/g can transmit data or receive data, but not at
the same time.
Note: If only one antenna is used, it must be connected to Wi-Fi RP-SMA antenna
connector J1. This is the Digi Connect Wi-Wave 802.11 b/g’s primary antenna.
General information
..................................................................................
The module uses the same antennas to transmit and receive the 802.11b/g RF
signal. An antenna switch is required to isolate the transmit signal from the receive
signal. The antenna switch works by alternately connecting the antennas to either
the transceiver transmit output or the transceiver receive input. To support this
antenna sharing scheme, the module operates in half-duplex mode; receive and
transmit operations do not occur at the same time.
Antenna switch
The antenna switch is a digitally controlled 2.4 GHz, 50 ohm, multi-function solid
state switch, controlled by software.
The switch can handle >28dBm of signal on the transmit port. The insertion loss of
the antenna switch is <0.5dB and the receive to transmit port isolation is >23dB.
