Hardware design attention 2.1 Mechanical dimensions EMW3166mechanical dimension of vertical view: Figure 3 Vertical view EMW3166 mechanical dimension of side view: Figure 4 side view 2.2 Recommended package design The figure followed below is the recommended package design MXCHIP suggested while designing the baseplate. The solder window has the same size of the pad. EMW3166_Guide For User Design Application Note [Page 11 Figure 5 Recommended Package for SMT 2.3 DC power design Peak current of EMW3166 is about 320mA. The DC/DC power chip MXCHIP recommended should be whose maximum output current is over 600mA. DC/DC gets more superiority on power conversion than LDO. When using DC/DC power chip, except for the requirements of output voltage (3.3V) and maximum current (600mA), application designer should pay more attention on the arrangement of wires. For instance, device should be compact enough, the ground of input and output should be well connected and the feedback signal should be far away from the inductance and the Schottky diode. Please refer to the datasheet of DC/DC power chip for more information. When using LDO power chip, application designer need notice on the maximum current (600mA) and heat dissipation.1.4 Recommended circuit design Set the GND apart from power supply when designing layout to avoid the instantaneous peak current when power on.

Mass production testing and firmware upgrading In addition to considering the product features, application designer need to think over how to do test and upgrade firmware when developing. 5.1 Mass production test Avoid finding problem after installing the PCB boards in machine 5.1.1 EMSP command way Connect the module to the MCU of the mother board by serial port and use the EMSP command. Choose one triggering way---- set one combination key, to send the test command from the MCU. The test command could be one EMSP command used to scan the APs around or connect one specified AP. The way can test both of the serial function and the RF function. 5.1.2 Limited development firmware Connect the module to the MCU of the mother board by serial port. Add the test command in the firmware when developing. The test command could be one command from serial port used to scan the APs and return the results by serial port. The way can test both of the serial function and the RF function by using the same triggering way. 5.1.3 Full development firmware Full development works for the whole application of the project. Test method could be flexible in the way. It can set a specific way to test every function of the module. The application determines the specific test details. 5.2 Upgrading Upgrading by OTA is recommended. OTA-over the air, is one wireless upgrading way. The upgrading method is offered by MXCHIP. Several application cases are provided as referenced. Firmware could be upgraded to the latest version by OTA with this upgrading method applied. EMW3166_Guide For User Design Application Note [Page 21] 6. Firmware encrypt In order to make sure the firmware could not be modified after programming in the module, firmware must be encrypted with the bootloader drivers and the chip ID MXCHIP offered. Bootloader driver is used to drive the device in the module and integrated with one AES encryption way. The application part of the firmware must be combined with the bootloader driver to generate one MVA/bin file after adding the chip ID details which can be used to identify MXCHIP module.
