An integrated module avoids difficult RF layout and enables designers to rapidly embed Wi-Fi and secure networking 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-toWi-Fi application may be used to fast-track module integration into end products. With dimensions of just 0.7 x 1.25 inches and a wide temperature range, the module is suitable for integration into most embedded 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 knifeswitched 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 maintain 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. TS -L 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 option provides additional performance and flexibility if required. The module may be powered by a single 3.3V power supply. A separate power supply pin for the Wi-Fi subsystem is provided to minimize power supply noise coupling into the WLAN subsystem, and to enable additional control for power sensitive applications. ab 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 following list of interfaces, and provides additional interface combinations by leveraging SAM4S I/O multiplexing and alternate function capabilities. 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. 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 ADS-MW004-100D8 • Preliminary Data Sheet ©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me Page | 1 March 4, 2014 AMW004 • 802.11b/g/n WICED™ Module Block Diagram, Section 2 Block Diagram Figure 1 is a block diagram of the AMW004 module. The main components of the module are an AT91SAM4S16C microprocessor and BCM43362 Wi-Fi System-inPackage (SiP) module. The SAM4S ARM processor and peripherals are driven by a 12MHz crystal, the integrated 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 subsystem is controlled by an application running on the SAM4S, enabling the module to achieve minimum power 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 onboard antenna or an external antenna plugged to the u.FL connector. Figure 1.

AMW004 Recommended Footprint (Top) All dimensions are in thousands of an inch unless otherwise 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 depicted 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 ADS-MW004-100D8 • Preliminary Data Sheet ©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me Page | 10 March 4, 2014 AMW004 • 802.11b/g/n WICED™ Module Design Guidelines, Section 6 6.4 Module Photograph Figure 4.

Common Power Supply 6.5 Application Examples TS The 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 performance may be significantly degraded if ground Pins 44-54 near the antenna are not connected to a solid ground. Figure 6. Gated WLAN Power Supply 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 separate 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.
