An integrated module avoids difficult RF layout and enables designers to rapidly embed Wi-Fi and secure networking functionality into virtually any device. The ACKme Networks WiConnect serial-to-Wi-Fi application, pre-programmed into all modules, may be used to fast-track module integration into end-products. With dimensions of just 20.3mm x 15.2mm and a wide temperature range, the module is suitable for integration 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. Connections for two external antennas provide applications with maximum radio range and mechanical design flexibility. The module is powered by a 3.3V power supply, a separate WLAN power supply pin is provided to minimize noise coupling into the WLAN subsystem. Various powersave modes offer ultra-low power operation. Wake from low power sleep mode is possible using IO pins or the internal real-time clock, and wake from ultra-low power standby mode is achieved using the dedicated wake pin. 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 power save 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. The module has FCC & IC modular approval for use in the United States and Canada, and CE approval for use in Europe and other countries. The microprocessor is based on a high-performance ARM® 32-bit Cortex™-M4 operating at a frequency up to 84MHz providing 1.25 DMIPS/MHz. An extensive range of enhanced I/Os and peripherals are also available. The AMW006 module offers extensive I/O and peripheral interfaces listed below, and provides additional interface combinations by leveraging multiplexing and alternate function capabilities. - 2 x 4-Wire UART interfaces - 2 x SPI interfaces (1 master, 1 slave) - 21 x GPIOs - 9 x 12-bit A/D converters - 14 x PWM outputs - 1 x ultra-low power wake input ADS-MW006-100R `•` Preliminary Data Sheet _©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me_ October 20, 2014 Block Diagram, Section 2 AMW006 `•` Embedded Wi-Fi Networking Solution ## **2 Block Diagram** Figure 1 is a block diagram of the AMW006 module. The main components of the module are a microprocessor and BCM43362 Wi-Fi System-on-Chip (SoC). The processor and peripherals are driven by a 26MHz crystal. The integrated real-time clock (RTC) is driven by a 32.768kHz crystal. An on-board 1MByte serial flash chip may be used to store user data and configuration, additional applications, and firmware images as part of the ACKme secure over the air (OTA) update process. The WLAN subsystem is controlled by WiConnect 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 control of the external antenna(s). **Figure 1.

AMW006 Recommended Footprint (Top)** ## **6.2 Routing Recommendations** When designing a carrier board, the addition of ground fill directly underneath the AMW006 module, rather than signal or power traces, is recommended. If traces must be routed directly beneath the module, avoid routing directly underneath keepout areas. All ground pads adjacent to antenna pins must be connected to a solid ground plane. Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in degraded performance of WLAN functionality. ## **6.4 Module Photograph** **Figure 4. AMW006 Photograph (Top)** ## **6.3 Soldering Information** ## TBA ADS-MW006-100R `•` Preliminary Data Sheet _©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me_ October 20, 2014 Design Guidelines, Section 6 AMW006 `•` Embedded Wi-Fi Networking Solution ## **6.5 External Antennas** The AMW006 module supports two external antennas and per-packet antenna diversity to achieve maximum range. Antenna selection is available by setting WiConnect variables. ## **Wire Antenna** A suitable wire antenna is an 18-gauge wire with a length of 25.4mm ± 2mm. The wire antenna should be perpendicular to a generous ground plane. **NOTE!** BOTH antenna ports must be terminated in 50 ohms. If a single antenna is used, the other antenna port must be terminated with a 50 ohm load. Failure to terminate both antenna ports will result in degraded radio performance. **Table 11 - Tested External Antenna Types** |**Type **|**Gain(dBi)**| |---|---| |PCB Trace|0| |Wire|0| |Whip|2.2| Note 1: An antenna type comprises antennas having similar in-band and out-of-band radiation patterns. **Figure 6 - AMW006-A01 adaptor with wire antennas** ## **Whip Antenna** Any whip antenna may be used with the AMW006 provided the gain is no greater than 2.2 dBi. A u.FL connector layout such as the one shown below can be used to connect the whip antenna(s). ## **PCB Trace Antenna** This 2.4 GHz PCB antenna can fit in an area smaller than 21mm x 10mm, and as small as 15mm x 6mm. To achieve optimum performance, make an exact copy of this reference design. **Figure 7 - u.FL connector layout** Suitable whip antennas include the ACA_1SSRPP_2400 and ACA_4HSRPP_2458, both of which are available online at http://ack.me. **Figure 5 - Trace Antenna** **Figure 8 - ACA-1SSRPP-2400 Figure 9 - ACA-4HSRPP-2458** ADS-MW006-100R `•` Preliminary Data Sheet _©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me_ October 20, 2014 Design Guidelines, Section 6 AMW006 `•` Embedded Wi-Fi Networking Solution ## **6.6 Application Examples** TBD ## **Operation using WiConnect** To use ACKme’s easy-to-use WiConnect serial-to-Wi-Fi application, the module only requires an external connection to power and a UART serial interface.
