AMW004 • 802.11b/g/n WICED™ Module General Description, Section 1 ADS-MW004-100D8 • Preliminary Data Sheet Page | 1 ©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me March 4, 2014 1 General Description The AMW004 module from ACKme Networks combines a SAM4S microcontroller with a BCM43362 Wi-Fi device and on-board antenna to provide an advanced stand-alone Wi-Fi and networking solution. An integrated module avoids difficult RF layout and en-ables designers to rapidly embed Wi-Fi and secure net-working functionality into virtually any device. Custom applications may be developed for the module using the Broadcom WICED Software Development Kit. Alternately, the ACKme Networks WiConnect serial-to-Wi-Fi application may be used to fast-track module in-tegration into end products. With dimensions of just 0.7 x 1.25 inches and a wide temperature range, the module is suitable for integra-tion into most embedded applications. The Wi-Fi device from Broadcom includes an integrated RF transmit power amplifier and provides superior Wi-Fi performance and full compatibility with all 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi networks. An external antenna op-tion provides additional performance and flexibility if required. The SAM4S microprocessor from Atmel is based on a high-performance ARM® Cortex™-M4 32-bit RISC core operating at a frequency up to 120MHz. The SAM4S incorporates high-speed embedded memory including 1MB Flash memory and 128kB SRAM, and an extensive range of enhanced I/Os and peripherals. The AMW004 module connects a large number of SAM4S pins to capitalize on the extensive SAM4S I/O and peripheral interfaces. The module supports the fol-lowing list of interfaces, and provides additional inter-face combinations by leveraging SAM4S I/O multiplex-ing and alternate function capabilities.  10 x 12-bit A/D converters  1 x 12-bit D/A converters  1 x 4-Wire USART interface  1 x 4-Wire, 2 x 2-Wire UART interfaces  1 x SPI master/slave bus  2 x I2C interfaces  1 x I2S interface  1 x USB full-speed device interface  12 x edge/level sensitive wake inputs The module may be powered by a single 3.3V power supply. A separate power supply pin for the Wi-Fi sub-system is provided to minimize power supply noise coupling into the WLAN subsystem, and to enable addi-tional control for power sensitive applications. Power consumption in various states is determined by the power consumption of the SAM4S microprocessor and BCM43362 Wi-Fi chip. The power supply to the Wi-Fi chip and radio subsystem may be externally knife-switched under software control to achieve minimum power consumption in an ultra-low power backup state described in the SAM4S datasheet. The microprocessor may be woken from low power states by connecting any of 12 different module pins, or by other methods including an internal RTC/RTT timer or supply monitor as described in the SAM4S datasheet. The module incorporates a 32.768kHz crystal to main-tain an accurate real time clock. A 32kHz clock output is available on a dedicated module pin in both active and SAM4S powerdown modes. The 32kHz clock output may be used to drive the clock input of other system devices. This avoids the need for an additional crystal thereby minimizing total system cost. Application debugging with a software debugger such as gdb is enabled with a standard JTAG (or Serial Wire Debug) interface. The module has FCC modular approval for use in the United States, and CE approval for use in Europe and other countries. WTS-Lab

The main components of the module are an AT91SAM4S16C microprocessor and BCM43362 Wi-Fi System-in-Package (SiP) module. The SAM4S ARM processor and peripherals are driven by a 12MHz crystal, the integrat-ed RTC is driven by a 32.768kHz crystal. An integrated 1MByte serial flash chip may be used to store additional applications, user data or firmware images as part of an over the air (OTA) update process. A dedicated power supply input to the WLAN subsys-tem is controlled by an application running on the SAM4S, enabling the module to achieve minimum pow-er consumption when the Wi-Fi networking interface is not required. The module includes an antenna diversity switch. The switch enables static or dynamic selection of the on-board antenna or an external antenna plugged to the u.FL connector. Figure 1.

AMW004 • 802.11b/g/n WICED™ Module Design Guidelines, Section 6 ADS-MW004-100D8 • Preliminary Data Sheet Page | 10 ©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me March 4, 2014 6 Design Guidelines 6.1 Recommended PCB Footprint Figure 3. AMW004 Recommended Footprint (Top) All dimensions are in thousands of an inch unless oth-erwise marked. The addition of castellation’s on the periphery of the module carrier board directly beneath the end of the module nearest the antenna (as depict-ed in Figure 3) are strongly recommended. 6.2 Routing Recommendations When designing a carrier board, the addition of ground fill directly underneath the AMW004 module, rather than signal or power traces, is recommended. If traces must be routed directly beneath the module, avoid routing directly under tests pads or under the end of the module close to the antenna. Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in degraded performance of WLAN functionality. 6.3 Soldering Information TBA WTS-Lab

AMW004 Photograph (Top) 6.5 Application Examples This section provides circuit examples demonstrating how to configure the module to meet various applica-tion requirements. Power Supply 6.5.1The module requires at least 10µF of bulk capacitance between VDD_3V3 pin 29 and ground and between VDD_3V3_WIFI pin 2 and ground. The WLAN radio per-formance may be significantly degraded if ground Pins 44-54 near the antenna are not connected to a solid ground. For applications that do not require separate control of the WLAN power supply, the VDD_3V3 and VDD_3V3_WIFI power supply pins may be connected together as shown in . Alternately, for applications that require finer control over power consumption, the VDD_3V3_WIFI supply can be dynamically driven. This is achieved using a sep-arate regulator, or with a P-channel MOSFET as shown in . The WIFI_EN gate enable signal may be connected to any available GPIO on the module and controlled by software to power on or off the WLAN subsystem as required. Figure 5.

This section outlines cer-tification information specific to the following countries and regions:  United States  Canada  Europe  Australia  New Zealand Should you require regulatory certification for the AMW004 module in a country or region not listed, please contact your local ACKme Networks sales office or create a support request via our website at http://ack.me. 7.1 United States The ACKme Networks AMW004 module has received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Tele-communications, Part 15 Sub-part C “Intentional Radia-tors” modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212 Modular Transmitter approval. Modular approval al-lows the end user to integrate the AMW004 module into a finished product without obtaining subsequent and separate FCC approvals for intentional radiation, provided no changes or modifications are made to the module circuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee which indicate installation and/or oper-ating conditions necessary for compliance. The finished product is required to comply with all ap-plicable FCC equipment authorization, regulations, re-quirements, and equipment functions not associated with the transmitter module portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other transmitter components within the host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Sub-part B “Unintentional Radiators”), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to additional authorization requirements for non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e. Verification, or Declaration of Conformity) (e.g., trans-mitter modules may also contain digital logic functions) as appropriate. Labeling and User Information 7.1.1Requirements The AMW004 module has been labelled with a unique FCC ID number, and if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the out-side of the finished product into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the en-closed module. This exterior label can use wording as follows: The user manual for the product should include the fol-lowing statement: Contains FCC ID: 2ABPY-61F8D 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 un-desired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to com-ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu-ant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are de-signed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate ra-dio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harm-ful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not oc-cur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equip-ment and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a cir-cuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

OET Bulletin 65, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, provides assis-tance in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Com-mission (FCC). The bulletin offers guidelines and sugges-tions for evaluating compliance. If appropriate, compliance with exposure guidelines for mobile and unlicensed devices can be accomplished by the use of warning labels and by providing users with information concerning minimum separation distances from transmitting structures and proper installation of antennas. The following statement must be included as a CAU-TION statement in manuals and OEM products to alert users of FCC RF exposure compliance: If the AMW004 module is used in a portable application (i.e., the antenna is less than 20 cm from persons dur-ing operation), the integrator is responsible for per-forming Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing in ac-cordance with FCC rules 2.1091. External Antenna 7.1.3Modular approval in the United States is permitted with the use of the integrated antenna ONLY. If an external antenna is used with the AMW004 module, additional testing of the end product is needed to meet FCC re-quirements.
