4 of 30 1 Functional description 1.1 Overview The VERA-P1 series are compact, embedded transceiver modules that enables development of electronics for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication systems. These automotive grade modules are designed for applications such as traffic safety, intelligent traffic management and entertainment. The modules can be used for both in-vehicle units (OBU - On Board Unit) and infrastructure (RSU - Road Side Unit). They provide superior performance compared to V2X systems based on consumer-grade Wi-Fi chipsets, especially at high vehicle speeds and in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions. The VERA-P1 series includes an integrated MAC/LLC/Baseband processor and the required RF front-end components. The module is connected to a host processor through USB or SPI interface. Both interfaces can be used for data communication and firmware download. 1.2 Product features Table 1: VERA-P1 series main features summary VERA-P1 series - Data Sheet 1.3 Block diagram Figure 1: Block diagram of VERA-P173 and VERA-P174 1.4 Product description Model Description VERA-P173 Single channel, antenna diversity, two antennas VERA-P174 Dual channel or single channel with antenna diversity, two antennas Table 2: Product description 1.5 Supported features Compliance with WAVE and ETSI ITS G5 for US and Europe operations USB and SPI1 host interfaces Frequency band 5.850 – 5.925 MHz (channels 172, 174, 176, 178, 180, 182, 184) Channel bandwidth 10 MHz2 Data rates 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27 Mbps Antenna diversity (VERA-P173, VERA-P174) – CDD for TX and MRC for RX mode TX output power from 0 to +23 dBm (Class C), RX sensitivity -98 dBm at 3 Mbps Power supply 3.3 V and 5.0 V, 5 W Operation temperature -40 °C to +95 °C Dimensions 29.6 x 24.8 x 3.5 mm 1 SPI is not recommended as the main host interface for communication due to performance limitations. 2 Support for 20 MHz mode is planned for future firmware releases subject to certain limitations, as the requirements for 20 MHz operation have not been fully specified. UBX-17004377 - R06_draft Confidential Functional description Page 6 of 30 VERA-P1 series - Data Sheet Host interfaces 2.1 USB interface The VERA-P1 series module supports a USB 2.0 high-speed interface for firmware loading (booting) and high speed data transfer (> 200 Mbps). The USB interface of the module is powered with 3.3 V supply voltage. The module acts as a device on the USB bus. 2.2 SPI interface The VERA-P1 series module supports an SPI interface for firmware loading (booting) and data communication. Firmware can be loaded by the host processor while the module operates as a slave or from the FLASH memory while the module is in the master mode. The interface is capable of fullduplex operation in master or slave mode. The maximum clock rate is 50 MHz in master mode, and 25 MHz in slave mode3. ⚠ Due to performance limitations, it is recommended not to use the SPI interface as the main host interface for communication and operation of the module. 3 SPI host interface for data communication in slave mode is tested only with 15 MHz clock rate.

This channel was used in RF testing at the third ETSI Plug test (CMS3). Each tap is faded using Pure Doppler, but the second antenna has a Doppler increased by 11 Hz, which prevents phase synchronization of channels. The RX Power listed in Table 8 refers to the power of Tap 0. To protect the module against permanent damage caused by overheating, the transmit power is derated at high temperature. The derating depends on the RX/TX time ratio.

Modules require baking if the humidity indicator card shows more than 10% when read at 23±5°C or if the conditions mentioned above are not met. Please refer to J-STD-033B standard for bake procedure. 7.2.2 Mounting process and soldering recommendations The VERA-P1 series module is a surface mount module supplied on an 8-layer FR4-type PCB with gold plated connection pins and produced in a lead-free process with a lead-free soldering paste. The wrap page of the PCB is max. 0.75% according to IPC-A-610E. The thickness of solder resist on the host PCB top side and the JODY-W1 bottom side must be considered for the soldering process. This module is compatible with industrial reflow profile for RoHS/Pb-free solders, Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 solder is a right choice. Use of "No Clean" soldering paste is strongly recommended, cleaning the populated modules is strongly discouraged - residuals under the module cannot be easily removed with any cleaning process. Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host board and module. The combination of soldering flux residuals and encapsulated water could lead to short circuits between neighboring pins. Only a single reflow soldering process is permitted for host boards with the VERA-P1 series modules. The reflow profile used is dependent on the thermal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven and particular type of solder paste used. Since the profile used is process and layout dependent, the optimum profile should be studied case by case. Recommendations below should be taken as a starting point guide. In case of basic information necessity, refer to J-STD-020C standard. Profile feature Sn-Pb eutectic (Sn63/Pb37) RoHS/Pb-free (Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5) Ramp up rate (TSMAX to TP) 3 °C/sec max 3 °C/sec max Minimum soak temperature (TSMIN) 100 °C 150 °C Maximum soak temperature (TSMAX) 150 °C 200 °C Soak time (ts) 60 - 120 sec 60 - 180 sec Liquidus temperature (TL) 183 °C 217 °C Time above TL (tL) 60 - 150 sec 60 - 150 sec Peak temperature (TP) 215 – 225 °C 235 – 245 °C Time within +0 / -5°C of actual TP (tp) 10 - 30 sec 20 - 40 sec Ramp down rate 6 °C/sec max 6 °C/sec max Time from 25°C to TP 6 min max 8 min max Table 15: Recommended reflow profile ☞ The lowest value of TP and slower ramp down rate (2 – 3 °C/sec) is preferred.

Observe precautions for handling! Failure to observe these precautions can result in severe damage to the Wi-Fi receiver! Wi-Fi transceivers are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) and require special precautions when handling. Particular care must be exercised when handling patch antennas, due to the risk of electrostatic charges. In addition to standard ESD safety practices, the following measures should be taken into account whenever handling the receiver: Unless there is a galvanic coupling between the local GND (i.e. the work table) and the PCB GND, then the first point of contact when handling the PCB must always be between the local GND and PCB GND. Before mounting an antenna patch, connect ground of the device When handling the RF pin, do not come into contact with any charged capacitors and be careful when contacting materials that can develop charges (e.g. patch antenna ~10 pF, coax cable ~50-80 pF/m, soldering iron, …) To prevent electrostatic discharge through the RF input, do not touch any exposed antenna area. If there is any risk that such exposed antenna area is touched in non ESD protected work area, implement proper ESD protection measures in the design. When soldering RF connectors and patch antennas to the receiver’s RF pin, make sure to use an ESD safe soldering iron (tip).
