It supports full duplexasynchronous UART communication in SPI mode up to 6 Mbps.Software emulated RTS/CTS handshaking is supported. For this reason there may be up to two extra data bytes transmited by theModule after the host's RTS has been pulled high.Figure 3.4. USART3.2.2 I2CThe I2C peripheral provides an interface between the WGM110 Module and a serial I2C bus. It is capable of acting as a I2C Master.Standard-mode is supported, allowing transmission rates up to 100 Kbps.Figure 3.5. WGM110 Acting as an I2C Master with Several I2C Slaves Connected to the Module3.2.3 Timer / PWMTimer peripherals count events and can be used to generate PWM outputs. The core of each timer is a 16-bit counter. There are twotimers, each with three separate outputs configurable for PWM applications.3.2.4 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)The ADC inside the WGM110 Module is based on Successive Approximation Register (SAR) architecture and has a resolution of up to12 bits (1 MSPS). The ADC includes user selectable integrated voltage references but also allows the use of an external reference.There are 8 fixed GPIO pins configurable for single-ended ADC inputs.3.3 Firmware Update and RF Test InterfacesFirmware updates can be done over the ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface, which is the recommended firmware update interfacefor development and production programming.It is also possible to update the firmware using the Device Firmware Update (DFU) protocol by using an interface configured as the hostinterface (UART, SPI or USB).3.3.1 ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD)The WGM110 Module contains a 2-wire ARM SWD interface for programming and debugging. It is recommended that the pads of thisinterface are exposed in the application design to allow firmware updates and debugging.WGM110 Wi-Fi® Module Data SheetInterfacessilabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 1.0 | 12
3.3.2 Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU)The firmware can be updated over the configured host interface (UART, SPI, or USB) using the Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) proto-col. This method is intended to be used for field updates of the firmware, for example, when updating the WGM110 Module firmwarefrom a connected host using the BGAPI serial protocol.Note: You cannot update the bootloader using the DFU protocol. Bootloader update must be done using the SWD Debug interface. Note: In case the DFU recovery mode is not useable for any reason, the SWD bus is always available at boot when the RESET pin ofthe WGM110 Module is being pulled down. 3.3.3 RF Test InterfaceThere are dedicated pads on the WGM110 Module that are used to enable the Wi-Fi radio test modes. These test modes would typical-ly be used if RF measurements relating to CE or any other certification requirements are needed. More specifically, RF Test pads areused to enable the TX and RX test modes of the WGM110 Module.3.3.4 Reference Schematic for SWD Debug and RF Test InterfacesThe schematic below shows the necessary connections needed for using the SWD and RF test interfaces.Figure 3.6.

4. Module SoftwareThis section gives a short overview of the software provided with the WGM110 Module and describes the basic methods of using theModule. The figure below shows the block diagram of the software provided with the WGM110 Module and how it relates to the soft-ware on the external host.Figure 4.1. WGM110 Software Allows Both BGScript™ Based or Host MCU Based Control of the ModuleThe WGM110 Module includes full Wi-Fi and IP stacks, an HTTP server, and multiple protocols, such as TCP and UDP. Key securityfeatures include WPA2/WPA Personal and Enterprise support and TLS/SSL for end-to-end encryption. The WGM110 SDK contains allnecessary tools for developing and deploying IoT applications for the WGM110 ModuleThe Wi-Fi Module has been designed to allow flexibility in selecting the most suitable design architecture. There are three main archi-tectural options for using the WGM110 Module:• Network Co-Processor (NCP) mode, in which the Module is connected to an external host MCU via the BGLIB API• Stand-alone mode, in which the module is used to run BGScript applications• Mixed mode, in which is a combination of the two above listed modesNetwork Co-Processor (NCP) modeThe NCP mode is the choice to use when there is a need to implement a more complicated IoT application and the resources of anexternal MCU are needed. In the NCP mode, the external host MCU is connected to the Module using one of the three available hostinterfaces (UART, SPI, or USB). The WGM110 Module provides a high-level BGAPI to manage Wi-Fi as well as data connections. Sili-con Labs provides a thin API layer (BGLib) written in ANSI C for the host, which can take care of creating and parsing the messagessent over the host interface. For evaluation purposes, GUI tools are also provided as part of the SDK.Data between the WGM110 Module and the external host MCU can be routed either through the BGAPI or via another physical inter-face. For example, a serial-to-TCP/IP solution, if one UART interface is used for sending and receiving BGAPI commands; the secondUART can be bound with a TCP/IP socket. Data written to the second UART will be seamlessly passed to the TCP/IP socket.Stand-alone modeThe stand-alone mode is especially suitable for more lightweight IoT applications, and there is no need for hosting an external MCUcontroller. This will naturally result in HW BOM cost savings. The WGM110 Module is natively running and controlled by a BGScriptapplication.Mixed modeWGM110 Wi-Fi® Module Data SheetModule Softwaresilabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 1.0 | 14
The WGM110 Module can also be used in a mixed mode, where both the NCP and Stand-alone approaches are used in parallel. In thiscase the BGScript application on the module can be run completely independent from any MCU action. Normally the approach is toautomate certain processes in BGScript (e.g. Wi-Fi network scanning and connection) to relieve the host from doing these.Note: To learn more about the WGM110 Module software, the SDK and the APIs in general please read the QSG122: WGM110 Wi-Fi®Module Software Quick-Start Guide.

5. Hardware Design GuidelinesWGM110 is an easy-to use Module with regard to hardware application design, but certain guidelines must be followed to guaranteeoptimal performance. These guidelines are listed in the next sub-sections.5.1 Power Supply RequirementsWGM110 Module consists of two separate internal blocks, the microcontroller and the Wi-Fi radio block. Individual power supplies areneeded for both the MCU and the Wi-Fi radio blocks.The WGM110 Module is designed to operate with a 3.3 V nominal input voltage supplied to the two supply inputs as follows:• The VDDCPU powers the MCU and can be fed with a voltage between 2.0 V and 3.8 V.• The VDDPA pad can be supplied with a voltage between 2.7 V and 4.8 V and supplies the RF power amplifier and the internalswitch-mode converter powering the Wi-Fi digital core.In lithium battery powered applications, VDDPA can be connected directly to the battery, while a regulator is needed to supply theVDDCPU with a lower voltage, as needed by the design. Care should be taken that the supply source is capable of supplying enoughcurrent for the heavy load peaks of the power amplifier.External high frequency bypass capacitors are not needed because the module contains the required supply filter capacitors. However,care should be taken to prevent strong switching noise from being superimposed on the supply lines. Such noise can be generated, forexample, by on-board charge pump converters used in RS232 level shifters. Note that there is a total of about 20 µF of low ESR ceram-ic capacitors on the VDDPA line and approximately 2 µF on the VDDCPU line inside the module. When using external regulators togenerate regulated supplies for the module, the stability of the regulator with the low ESR provided by these capacitors should bechecked. Many low-drop linear regulators and some switched mode regulators are not stable when using ceramic output capacitors.The datasheet of the regulator typically lists recommendations concerning suitable capacitors, including data on ESR range and/or sta-bility curves. A regulator with a statement “stable with ceramic capacitors” is recommended.5.2 PCB Design GuidelinesFor optimal performance of the WGM110 Module, please follow these guidelines:• Place the Module at the edge of the PCB, as shown in the figure below.• Do not place any metal (traces, components, battery, etc.) within the clearance area of the antenna (shown in the figure below as awhite rectangle between the pad rows).• Connect all ground pads directly to a solid ground plane.• Place the ground vias as close to the ground pads as possible.• Do not place plastic or any other dielectric material in touch with the antenna.Figure 5.1. Recommended Layout for WGM110 ModuleWGM110 Wi-Fi® Module Data SheetHardware Design Guidelinessilabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 1.0 | 16
The layouts shown in the figure below will result in severely degraded RF-performance.Figure 5.2. Non-optimal PCB Layouts for WGM110 ModuleThe impact of the size of the ground plane on the achievable range of the maximum range available for the WGM110 Module is shownbelow. As can be seen from the image, the curve indicates that the maximum range is achieved with approximately 15 - 20 mm groundplane on both sides of the Module, as indicated in the model images below the curve image. Narrower ground planes can be used butwill result in compromised RF performance.Figure 5.3. Guideline For the Achievable Range vs. Ground Plane Width5.3 Antenna Design GuidelinesThis section contains information regarding the optimal functioning of the antenna.5.3.1 Effect of Plastic and Metal MaterialsDo not place plastic or any other dielectric material in touch with the antenna.Any metallic objects in close proximity to the antenna will prevent the antenna from radiating freely. The minimum recommended dis-tance of metallic and/or conductive objects is 10 mm in any direction from the antenna except in the directions of the application PCBground planes.WGM110 Wi-Fi® Module Data SheetHardware Design Guidelinessilabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 1.0 | 17
5.3.2 Locating the Module Close to Human BodyWhen using the Module in an application where the radio is located close to human body, the human RF exposure must be evaluated.FCC, IC, and CE all have different standards for evaluating the RF exposure and, because of this, each standard will require a differentminimum separation distance between the Module and human body. Certification of WGM110 allows the following minimum separationdistances without any actions required from the end product manufacturer:•FCC: 21 mm•IC: 25 mm•CE: The RF exposure must be evaluated using the end productFor FCC and IC, using the Module in end products where the separation distance is smaller than those listed above is allowed butrequires evaluation of the RF exposure in the final assembly and applying for a Class 2 Permissive Change or Change of ID to beapplied to the existing FCC/IC certificates of the Module.For CE certification, RF exposure must be evaluated using the end product in all cases.Note: Placing the Module in touch or very close to the human body will have a negative impact on the efficiency of the antenna thusreducing range.

9. Soldering RecommendationsThis section describes the soldering recommendations regarding WGM110 Module.WGM110 is compatible with industrial standard reflow profile for Pb-free solders. The reflow profile used is dependent on the thermalmass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven, and particular type of solder paste used. Consult the datasheetof particular solder paste for profile configurations.• Use the following recommendations for soldering the module to ensure reliable solder joint and operation of the module after solder-ing. Since the profile used is process and layout dependent, the optimum profile should be studied case by case. Thus, the followingrecommendations should be taken as a starting point guide.• Refer to technical documentations of particular solder paste for profile configurations.• Avoid using more than one flow.• Reliability of the solder joint and self-alignment of the component are dependent on the solder volume. Minimum of 150 μm stencilthickness is recommended.• Aperture size of the stencil should be 1:1 with the pad size.• A low residue, “no clean” solder paste should be used due to low mounted height of the component.• If the vias used on the application board have a diameter larger than 0.3 mm, it is recommended to mask them at the module side toprevent solder wicking through the via holes. Solders have a tendency to fill holes and leave voids in the thermal pad solder junction,as well as form solder balls on the other side of the application board which can in some cases be problematic.WGM110 Wi-Fi® Module Data SheetSoldering Recommendationssilabs.com | Smart.
