4. Physical Interfaces
4.1 Power Supply
4.1.1 Linear Regulators
FLC-WFM301 contains four linear regulators:


A low-voltage regulator to supply the 1.2V core digital supply
Three low-voltage regulators for the 1.2V core auxiliary, radio and RF synthesizer analogue supplies
4.1.2 LDO for Digital Supply
VREG_IN_DIG is the input voltage to the internal LDO for digital supply and VDD_DIG is the
output of the LDO. A low ESR 2.2uF capacitor to ground should be connected to this pin.
4.1.3 RF Front End Power Supply
VDD_RF1 and VDD_RF2 are the external 3.3V input to power RF front end. Clean voltage should
be used for these two pins.
4.1.4 I/O Power Supply


VDD_PADS is used to power PIO[0] to PIO[7]. The typical voltage is 1.8V for this rail.
VDD_AIO_PIO is used to power PIO[8] to PIO[15], AIO[0] to AIO[3]
4.2 Reset
WFM301CL can be reset from several sources,




Via the external RST# pin (pin 5)
Via an internal core power supply supervisor
Using software watchdog timers
Via SDIO/CSPI host interface
RST# is an active-low reset input that is internally filtered using the internal low frequency clock
oscillator to avoid spurious resets. A reset occurs after the signal has been asserted for between 250
and 375 s. This pin may be tied to VDD_PADS is unused; otherwise it should be asserted for at
least 1 ms to force a reset.
The power supply monitors VDD_DIG to trigger a power-on-reset. This occurs when the supply
falls below 1.05V (typical) in normal operation or 0.785C (typical) in deep sleep, and ends when the
supply exceeds 1.10V (typical). Glitches of up to 30mV and 2.5s duration, which could be caused
by large load steps, will not trigger a reset.
Each of the internal processors has its own independent watchdog timer to detect and recover from
erroneous software operation. These are typically configured with a timeout of 1.5s, but this may be
increased up to maximum of 64s for reduced power consumption. The watchdogs are enabled at
power-on and continue operating while WFM301CL is in deep sleep.

4.3 RF Interface
The module integrates a band-pass filter to the antenna port which is a 50  port. The user can
connect a 50  antenna directly to the antenna port (pin 48).
4.4 General Purpose Digital IO
There are nine general purpose digital IOs defined in the module. All these GPIOs can be configured
by software to realize various functions, such as button controls, LED displays or interrupt signals to
host controller, etc. Do not connect them if not use.

4.6 Host Interfaces
WFM301CL has a single host interface port that can be configured into one of four modes:
 SD 1-bit
 SD 4-bit
 SDIO SPI
 CSPI
The first three modes operate according to the SD Card specifications. The fourth mode is a CSR
proprietary variant designed to allow more efficient implementation on hosts without dedicated
SDIO host controller. Table 5 shows the usage of the host interfaces pins in each mode.

Table 5: Analog IO Usage
All four modes provide identical access to on-chip registers and support clock speeds of up to
50MHz for a maximum burst rate of 200Mbits/s (in SD 4-bit mode). At power-on the host interface
starts in SD 1-bit mode and may be switched into any of the alternative modes via SDIO commands.
4.6.1 SDIO
SDIO mode fully support SDIO specification version 2.00. It supports all defined slave modes (SD 1
bit, SD 4-bit and SDIO SPI), but not SD host functionality.
Two functions are supported:

Function 0 is the mandatory function used for card configuration. This includes the CCCR, FBR and CIS. Venderdefined registers within the CCCR support sleep and wake-up signaling.

Function 1 provides access to the IEEE 802.11 functionality. IO_RW_DIRECT (CMD52) reads and writes on-chip
registers and memory locations directly. IO_RW_EXTENDED (CMD53) transfers blocks of data to or from the
on-chip MMU buffers.
The SDIO interface implements a subset of optional features. Specifically it supports:

Continuous SPI interrupt (SCSI)

Direct Commands during data transfer (SDC)

Multi-block (SMB)

Read wait (SRW)
4.6.1.1 SDIO Sleep Signaling
WFM301CL supports a variety of mechanisms to enable both itself and the host to efficiently enter
and leave low-power modes.
4.6.1.1.1 Card Sleep and Wake-up
WFM301CL automatically uses its sleep modes to minimize power consumption. Registers in
function 0 are always directly accessible by the host, irrespective of the device’s sleep modes.
Attempts to access function 1 while the device is in deep sleep are likely to results in SDIO timeouts.
To avoid the need for the host to implement complicated retry mechanisms, a simple deep sleep
control scheme is supported via a Vender Unique Register within the CCCR in function 0. The host
uses this register to tell WFM301CL when it is allowed to use deep sleep. When the host
subsequently needs to access function 1 it uses the same register to initiated a wake-up and them
waits for an SDIO interrupt to indicate that the wake-up is compete.

FLC-WFM301 Datasheet
4.6.1.2 Host Sleep and Wake-up
The normal method for WFM301CL to wake the host up is via the in-band interrupt on
SDIO_DATA[1]. This is the dame mechanism that is used to notify the host of received data or
interesting events; no explicit sleep signaling is required.
An alternative out-of-band mechanism is provided for hosts that cannot utilize the SDIO interrupt as
a wake-up signal, e.g. where a separate power-management IC needs to restore power to the host
processor. This feature is enabled by masking out SDIO interrupts via the Int Enable register within
the CCCR in function 0. When an SDIO interrupt would have been signaled otherwise, a pulse is
instead generated on a configured PIO line.
Note: The out-of-band wake-up signal is not a replacement for the in-band SDIO interrupt. The standard interrupt signal
should be used for data transfer during normal operation.

8. Recommended PCB Layout and Mounting Pattern
Placement and PCB layout are critical to optimize the performances of a module without on-board
antenna designs. The trace from the antenna port of the module to an external antenna should be 50
and must be as short as possible to avoid any interference into the transceiver of the module. The
location of the external antenna and RF-IN port of the module should be kept away from any noise
sources and digital traces. A matching network might be needed in between the external antenna and
Antenna port to better match the impedance to minimize the return loss.
As indicated in Figure 6 below, RF critical circuits of the module should be clearly separated from
any digital circuits on the system board. All RF circuits in the module are close to the antenna port.
The module, then, should be placed in this way that module digital part towards your digital section
of the system PCB.
Figure 6: Placement the Module on a System Board
8.1 Antenna Connection and Grounding Plane Design
Figure 7: Leave 5mm Clearance Space from the Antenna
General design recommendations are:

The length of the trace or connection line should be kept as short as possible.
Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential
-23-
FLC-WFM301 Datasheet



Distance between connection and ground area on the top layer should at least be as large as the
dielectric thickness.
Routing the RF close to digital sections of the system board should be avoided.
To reduce signal reflections, sharp angles in the routing of the micro strip line should be avoided.
Chamfers or fillets are preferred for rectangular routing; 45-degree routing is preferred over
Manhattan style 90-degree routing.
Figure 8: Recommended Trace Connects Antenna and the Module


Routing of the RF-connection underneath the module should be avoided.
Use as many vias as possible to connect the ground planes.

9. Recommended Reflow Profile
The soldering profile depends on various parameters necessitating a set up for each application. The
data here is given only for guidance on solder reflow.

25
min
Figure 9: Recommended Reflow Profile
Pre-heat zone (A) — This zone raises the temperature at a controlled rate, typically 0.5 – 2 C/s.
The purpose of this zone is to preheat the PCB board and components to 120 ~ 150 C. This stage is
required to distribute the heat uniformly to the PCB board and completely remove solvent to reduce
the heat shock to components.
Equilibrium Zone 1 (B) — In this stage the flux becomes soft and uniformly encapsulates solder
particles and spread over PCB board, preventing them from being re-oxidized. Also with elevation
of temperature and liquefaction of flux, each activator and rosin get activated and start eliminating
oxide film formed on the surface of each solder particle and PCB board. The temperature is
recommended to be 150 to 210 for 60 to 120 second for this zone.
Equilibrium Zone 2 (c) (optional) — In order to resolve the upright component issue, it is
recommended to keep the temperature in 210 – 217  for about 20 to 30 second.
Reflow Zone (D) — The profile in the figure is designed for Sn/Ag3.0/Cu0.5. It can be a reference
for other lead-free solder. The peak temperature should be high enough to achieve good wetting but
not so high as to cause component discoloration or damage. Excessive soldering time can lead to
intermetallic growth which can result in a brittle joint. The recommended peak temperature (Tp) is
230 ~ 250 C. The soldering time should be 30 to 90 second when the temperature is above 217 C.
Cooling Zone (E) — The cooling ate should be fast, to keep the solder grains small which will give
a longer-lasting joint. Typical cooling rate should be 4 C.
