1 Functional description
1.1
Overview
The NINA-W13 series is a small stand-alone wireless MCU module that integrates a powerful microcontroller
(MCU) and a radio for wireless communication. The NINA‑W13 modules come with pre-flashed application
software, supporting 802.11b/g/n in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The host system can set up and control the module
through the AT command interface. This greatly reduces the time and complexity to add Wi-Fi connectivity to
the end product.
Intended applications include telematics, low power sensors, connected factories, connected buildings
(appliances and surveillance), point-of-sales, and health devices. The modules will initially be certified for the US,
Europe, and Canada. Certifications for other countries are planned. The modules will be qualified for
professional grade operation, supporting an extended temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C.

Product variants
The NINA‑W13x modules come with pre-flashed application software, supporting 802.11b/g/n in the 2.4 GHz
ISM band. The host system can set up and control the module through the AT command interface. See u-blox
Short Range AT Commands Manual [3] for more info about AT commands.
1.5.1 NINA-W131
The NINA-W131 modules do not use the internal antenna and thus the PCB outline has been trimmed to 10.0 x
10.6 mm. Instead of an internal antenna, the RF signal is available at a module pin for routing to an external
antenna or antenna connector.
1.5.2 NINA-W132
The NINA-W132 modules use an integrated antenna mounted on the PCB (10.0 x 14.0 mm). The RF signal pin is
not connected to any signal path.
1.6
Radio performance
Both the variants of the NINA-W13 series modules support Wi-Fi and conform to IEEE 802.11b/g/n single-band
2.4 GHz operation.

Software options
The NINA‑W13 series modules come with the pre-flashed application software, supporting 802.11b/g/n in the
2.4 GHz ISM band. The host system can set up and control the module through the AT command interface. The
NINA-W13 modules provide top grade security, thanks to secure boot, which ensures the module boots up only
with original u-blox software. In addition, they will provide end-to-end security on the wireless link with the
latest 802.11i (WPA2) standard and enterprise security to provide a secure connection to the infrastructure. This
makes NINA-W13 ideal for critical IoT applications where security is important.
1.7.1 AT command support
You can configure the NINA-W131 and NINA-W132 modules with the u-blox s-center toolbox software using AT
commands. See u-blox Short Range AT Commands Manual [3] for information about supported AT commands.
The s-center evaluation software supporting the AT commands is also available free of charge and can be
downloaded from the u-blox website.
1.7.2 Software upgrade
Information on how to upgrade the software for NINA-W13 series is provided in section 2.6.2 and in the NINAW13 series System Integration Manual [1].
1.8
MAC addresses
The NINA-W13 module series has four unique consecutive MAC addresses reserved for each module and the
addresses are stored in the configuration memory during production. The first Wi-Fi MAC address is available in
the Data Matrix on the label (see section 9.1).

Power modes
The NINA-W13 series modules are power efficient devices capable of operating in different power saving modes
and configurations. Different sections of the module can be powered off when not needed and complex wake
up events can be generated from different external and internal inputs. For the lowest current consumption
modes, an external LPO clock is required (see section 2.2).
See the u-blox Short Range AT Commands Manual [3] and NINA-W1 series System Integration Manual [1] for
more information about power modes.

2 Interfaces
2.1
Power supply
The power for NINA-W13 series modules is supplied through VCC and VCC_IO pins by DC voltage.
The system power supply circuit must be able to support peak power (add 20% as margin over the listed
type current consumption), as during operation, the current drawn from VCC and VCC_IO can vary
significantly based on the power consumption profile of the Wi-Fi technology.
2.1.1 Module supply input (VCC)
The NINA-W13 series modules use an integrated Linear Voltage converter to transform the supply voltage
presented at the VCC pin into a stable system voltage.
2.1.2 Digital I/O interfaces reference voltage (VCC_IO)
All modules in the NINA-W13 series provide an additional voltage supply input for setting the I/O voltage level.
The separate VCC_IO pin enables integration of the module in many applications with different voltage levels
(for example, 1.8 V or 3.3 V) without any level converters. The NINA-W13 modules support only 3.3 V as IO
voltage level currently.
2.2
Low Power Clock
The NINA-W13 series module does not have an internal low power oscillator (LPO), which is required for low
power modes. An external 32.768 KHz LPO signal can be supplied externally via the LPO_CLK pin if low power
modes are required.
The low power clock voltage level is lower (0/0.7 V) compared to the digital signal levels and a
voltage divider can be required (see section 4.2.4).
2.3
Module reset
The NINA-W13 series modules can be reset (rebooted) in one of the following ways:

Low level on the RESET_N pin, which is normally set high by an internal pull-up. This causes
“hardware” reset of the module. The RESET_N signal should be driven by an open drain, open collector
or contact switch. When RESET_N is low (off), the chip works at the minimum power.
The NINA-W13 series modules can be reset using an AT command (see the u-blox Short Range AT
Commands Manual [3]). This causes a “software” reset of the module.
2.4
Boot strapping pins
There are several boot configuration pins available on the module that needs to have the correct settings during
boot. It is important that they are in the default state (marked with bold in Table 4) during startup for normal
operation. The default state is automatically selected (with internal pull-ups or pull-downs) if the pins are left
unconnected.

RF antenna interface
The RF antenna interface of the NINA-W13 series supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The module is equipped with a 2.4
GHz bandpass filter between the radio chip and RF antenna interface (see section 1.4).
The NINA-W13 series supports either an internal antenna (NINA-W132) or external antennas connected through
an antenna pin (NINA-W131).
2.5.1 Internal antenna
The NINA-W132 module has an internal (embedded) 2.4 GHz PIFA antenna. The internal antenna is a PIFA
antenna specifically designed and optimized for the NINA form factor.
Keep a minimum clearance of 5 mm between the antenna and the casing. Keep a minimum of 10 mm free
space from the metal around the antenna including the area below. If a metal enclosure is required, use
NINA-W131 and an external antenna.
It is recommended to place the NINA-W132 modules in such a way that the internal antenna is in the corner of
the host PCB (the corner closest to Pin 16 should be in the corner). The antenna side (short side closest to the
antenna), positioned along one side of the host PCB ground plane is the second best option. It is beneficial to
have a large solid ground plane on the host PCB and have a good grounding on the NINA-W132 module.
Minimum ground plane size is 24x30 mm but recommended is more than 50x50 mm.
See NINA-W1 series System Integration Manual [1] for more information about antenna related design.
The ANT signal is not available on the solder pins of the NINA-W132 module.
2.5.2 External RF antenna interface
The NINA-W131 module has an antenna signal (ANT) pin with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω for using an
external antenna. The antenna signal supports both Tx and Rx.
The external antenna, for example, can be an SMD antenna (or PCB integrated antenna) on the host board. An
antenna connector for using an external antenna via a coaxial cable could also be implemented. A cable antenna
might be necessary if the module is mounted in a shielded enclosure such as a metal box or cabinet.
An external antenna connector (U.FL. connector) reference design (see NINA-W1 series System Integration
Manual [1]) is available and must be followed to comply with the NINA-W1 FCC/IC modular approvals.
Also see the list of approved antennas (section 7.2).

more information about connectivity software signals IOs):





RESET_N is used to reset the system. See section 0 for detailed information.
If SWITCH_2 is driven low during start up, the UART serial settings are restored to their default values.
SWITCH_2 can be used to open a connection to a peripheral device.
If both SWITCH_1 and SWITCH_2 are driven low during start up, the system will enter the bootloader
mode.
If both SWITCH_1 and SWITCH_2 are driven low during start up and held low for 10 seconds, the
system will exit the bootloader mode and restore all settings to their factory defaults.
2.6.3 UART IO signals
In addition to the normal RXD, TXD, CTS, and RTS signals, the NINA-W131/NINA-W132 software adds the DSR
and DTR pins to the UART interface. Note that they are not used as originally intended, but to control the state
of the NINA module. Depending on the current configuration, the DSR pin can be used to:




2.7
Enter command mode.
Disconnect and/or toggle connectable status.
Enable/disable the rest of the UART interface.
Enter/wake up from sleep mode.
Data interfaces
2.7.1 UART
The NINA-W131 and NINA-W132 modules include a 6-wire UART for communication with an application host
processor (AT commands, Data communication, and software upgrades).
The following UART signals are available:



Data lines (RXD as input, TXD as output)
Hardware flow control lines (CTS as input, RTS as output)
Link status (DTR as output, DSR as input). The DTR/DSR signals behavior is adapted to the u-blox
connectivity software functionality and differs from the UART standard, see section 2.6.3 for additional
information.

Failure to observe these recommendations can result in severe damage to the device.
8.4
ESD precautions
The NINA-W13 series modules contain highly sensitive electronic circuitry and are Electrostatic
Sensitive Devices (ESD). Handling the NINA-W13 series modules without proper ESD protection
may destroy or damage them permanently.
The NINA-W13 series modules are electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) and require special ESD precautions
typically applied to ESD sensitive components. Section 4.1.1 provides the maximum ESD ratings of the
NINA-W13 series modules.
Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and
operation of any application that incorporates the NINA-W13 series module. The ESD precautions should be
implemented on the application board where the module is mounted as described in the
NINA-W1 series System Integration Manual [1].
Failure to observe these recommendations can result in severe damage to the device.
