Pin No. Pin Name Description Pin No. Pin Name Description
1 VDD_USB Power supply for the
device, 3.3 typically.
2 VDD_USB Power supply for the
device, 3.3 typically.
3 GND Ground 4 GND Ground
5 USB_DP USB differential positive 6 USB_DM USB differential negative
7 WL_REG_ON Enable/disable power the
internal regulators
8 GND Ground
Notice:
WL_REG_ON is used by PMU to enable/disable power the internal regulators, ViH=1.6V, maximum=3.6V.
When WL_REG_ON is low (<1.2(1-20%)=0.96V) or the voltage at VDDIO is less than 0.96V, all six internal
regulators are powered down.
When WL_REG_ON is high (>1.6V) and the voltage at VDDIO is greater than 1. 6V, the CBUCK, LDO2p5V,
CLDO, and LNLDO1 regulators are powered on default.
The voltage at WL_REG_ON should not exceed 3.6V.
There’s a 200Kȍ internal pull-down on WL_REG_ON.
In normal operation mode, WL_REG_ON is pulled-high to 3.3V; and when the device is not needed in the
system, WL_REG_ON should be driven low while VDDIO remains powered, which is called Low-Power
shutdown mode.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to channels 1 through 11.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,
3) For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G band by supplied
firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain
change.
A
s long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is
still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module
installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).

co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can
not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the
end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
