Introduction
The Lattice Semiconductor MOD6212/13 Wireless module provides a data interface
compatible with USB device, which allows reception/transmission of various data rate
from/to any USB compliant device. OEM can develop a system equipped with this module to
wirelessly connect their high data sources to the target device.
The MOD6212/13 modules fit into a variety of industrial designs. No software needs to
initialize and to control the module to achieve the wired connectivity offered. The
MOD6212/13 module is a completely self-contained autonomous wireless sub-system that
connects to a system board that provides the wired connectivity from a single port to a full
featured multiport, multi-standard system. The advantage of this design is that the
complexity of the wireless system, radio performance, regulatory requirements, and
compliance to standards are all eliminated. This system interface carries data, power, and
control signals. The module is pre-certified and is fully tested for fast time-to-market.

MOD6212/13 Transceiver Module Functional description
USB 3.0 Interface
The MOD6212/13 Transceiver Module interfaces directly with a USB 3.0 port without
requiring any additional control or interface logic. “ID_IN” and “ID_VAL” strapping pins
on the Transceiver Module are used along with wireless communication to establish the
USB port personality as either upstream facing or downstream facing. The ID_OUT signal
from each transceiver to the attached USB port indicates upstream or downstream
facing transceiver operation.

The “VBUS” supply from the upstream USB port is used as a VBUS_SENSE input to the
transceiver. Note that a resistor divider or equivalent circuit should be used to reduce the
+5V VBUS voltage level to a +3.3V voltage level that is compatible with the VBUS_SENSE
input. The VBUS status is sent to the downstream facing transceiver, where the
“VBUS_EN” signal is used to control the local VBUS status at the downstream USB
connection.
When MOD6212 based Module transceiver is located in close proximity to another
MOD6213 based Module transceiver, the two transceivers automatically establish a
wireless connection, enabling high speed communication with the devices on the other
side of the link. Establishing a wireless link is analogous to plugging in a USB cable. Once
“connected”, this link will act and behave just like a wired USB 3.0 interface. The
“ID_OUT” signal emulates the proper grounding of the ID pin that would be seen when
attaching a USB 3.0 cable between devices. The “VBUS_EN” signal can be used to either
drive a VBUS logic input, or an external FET transistor to actually switch the VBUS power
to the downstream facing USB interface.
I2C Tunneling
I2C tunneling is a key feature of the MOD6212/13 Transceiver Module. It simply allows
an I2C master on the MOD6212 to communicate with I2C devices connected to the
MOD6213.

GPI, GPO, and LEDO
The MOD6212/13 Transceiver Module contains a general purpose input (GPI) and a general
purpose output (GPO) as well as a dedicated led output (LEDO) pin. At system level those can
be routed to a Host MCU or directly to LED devices.
The LEDO indicates the state of the wireless link. A persistent low (off state) indicates that
the module transceiver is powered down or being held in reset. A periodic high (blink)
indicates that the device is scanning for a connection. A high (on state) indicates that RF link
is established.
Without a link present, GPO will be low (off state). When a link is established, and the
transfer is in the Full speed mode (W0 state), the GPO will reflect the state of the GPI pin on
the opposite side of the link. If the GPI pin on the opposite side of the link keeps high, the
GPO output can be used to indicate a high speed data transfer. If the device goes into a
“Detached State”, (link established but no data being transferred) the GPO signal will
periodically go high (blink).
Each GPI pin can be used to control the state of the GPO pin on the opposite side of the link,
but only when the link is in a Full Speed mode (W0 state).
GPI on MOD6212 to GPO on MOD6213 can also be used as interrupt function along with the
WAKE_UP pin to wake up the wireless link and I2C host for service. Asserting WAKE_UP will
force the wireless link to W0 state or stop the link from entering low power modes (W2, W3,
IDLE). This combination of WAKE_UP pin and GPO/INT works together with the I2C Tunnel
function to prevent the need for polling on the I2C tunnel from the master side.

Reset
The MOD6212/13 Transceiver module has an RST input pin that keeps the device in standby.
The reset circuit is designed such that if an RST signal is not available. The part will generate
an internal RST signal as the device is powered on.
No device driver needed
MOD6212/13 Transceiver module is software free product. Module does not need to install
and to initialize the device driver to control the module to achieve the wired connectivity
offered. As soon as the MOD6212/13 module detects each other through proximity
detection and establishes the RF link within second, user could start the USB data transfer
now.

Modular approval for Lattice MOD6212/13 transmitter
MOD6212/MOD6213 radio is a low power 60GHz full duplex radio operating under §15.255 that
provides very short range (<15mm) contactless bidirectional USB data transfer between two hosts.
Spatial separation between receive and transmit antennas is used to allow simultaneous operation of
two radio links on the same frequency to provide bidirectional data transfer.
Lattice is a module supplier and does not manufacture host systems.
Modular transmitter should meet all the applicable requirements.
1. The final host system shall be subject to unwanted radiated emission testing up to 40GHz with
transmitter active and a test report shall be provided to the grantee. The grantee shall review that
report and acknowledge to the host manufacturer that it demonstrates compliance.
2. Host manufacturer module placement shall comply with the following requirements:
a) The shielded side of the module shall face inwards to the host;
b) The open side of the module shall be immediately adjacent to the enclosure with no intermediate
conducting material;
c) The spacing between unshielded side of module and enclosure shall be 3mm or less and must be free
of any conducting material within a defined exclusion region (Figure 7).
d) The enclosure shall be constructed from non-conducting material adjacent to that exclusion region.
