General Description 

## **1 General Description** 

The AMW036 and AMW136 modules from Zentri combine a microcontroller with a BCM43362 Wi-Fi device to provide an advanced stand-alone Wi-Fi and networking solution. 

The term **AMWx36** refers to either module. 

An integrated module avoids difficult RF layout and enables designers to rapidly embed Wi-Fi and secure networking functionality into virtually any device. 

The ZentriOS serial-to-Wi-Fi application, preprogrammed into all modules, may be used to fasttrack module integration into end-products. 

With dimensions of just 20.3mm x 22.9mm and a wide temperature range, the module is suitable for integration into most embedded applications. 

The Wi-Fi device from Cypress includes an integrated RF transmit power amplifier and provides superior WiFi performance and full compatibility with all 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi networks. A single PCB antenna is provided to simplify the RF design requirements. 

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 numerous modular approvals. See Section 7, Regulatory Certification. 

The microprocessor is based on a high-performance ARM® 32-bit Cortex™-M4. 

The AMW036/AMW136 microcontroller core operates at a frequency up to 84/100MHz providing up to 125 DMIPS or 1.25 DMIPS/MHz (Dhrystone 2.1). 

The AMW036 has 96KB of RAM. 

The AMW136 has 128KB of RAM. 

The AMWx36 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

Block Diagram 

## **2 Block Diagram** 

Figure 1 is a block diagram of the AMWx36 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 Zentri secure over the air (OTA) update process. 

The WLAN subsystem is controlled by ZentriOS enabling the module to achieve minimum power consumption when the Wi-Fi networking interface is not required. A single PCB antenna is provided to simplify the RF design requirements.

## **8 Packaging, Handling and Storage, RoHS** 

## **8.1 Packaging** 

Modules are shipped in cut tape, with ESD-safe packaging, or in reels. 

For package quantity, see section 9, Ordering Information. 

Reels are shipped inside a moisture resistant sealed bag. The shelf life of the sealed reel is 12 months at 40°C and <90% Relative Humidity (RH). Please refer to the bag seal date and the following section for handling & storage. 

Ensure that all modules are managed in accordance with Moisture Sensitive Level 3 (MSL3) per **IPC/JEDEC J-STD-20** . 

AMWx36 modules should be hand-soldered ONLY. If reflow is required, AMWx36 modules must be baked first according to Joint Industry Standard J-STD-033C. 

## **8.2 Handling & Storage** 

## **CAUTION** 

## **MSL3 Sensitive Device!** 

The AMWx36 module is a moisture sensitive device rated at Moisture Sensitive Level 3 (MSL3) per **IPC/JEDEC J-STD20** . 

After opening the moisture sealed storage bag, modules that will be subjected to reflow solder or other high temperature processes must be: 

1. mounted to a circuit board within 168 hours at factory conditions (≤30°C and <60% RH) 

**OR** 

## 2. continuously stored per **IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033** 

Modules that have been exposed to moisture and environmental conditions exceeding packaging and storage conditions MUST be baked before mounting according to **IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033** . 

Failure to meet packaging and storage conditions will result in irreparable damage to modules during solder reflow. 

## **8.3 RoHS Directive** 

The AMWx36 module is produced according to the RoHS (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment) directive and complies with the directive.

Ordering Information 

## **9 Ordering Information** 

You can order AMWx36 as either cut tape loaded with an unspecified ZentriOS, or as a full reel of **500** units pre-loaded with either a specific ZentriOS version or a version of your embedded custom application. 

When you order, refer to the OPN (Orderable Part Number), as described below. For examples, see Table 14.  Ordering Information. 

## **9.1 Ordering an Unspecified ZentriOS Version** 

## **Order OPN: AMWx36** 

When ordering an unspecified ZentriOS version as cut tape, the OPN is of the form <platform>, where **<platform>** is AMW036 or AMW136. 

When ZentriOS version is unspecified, orders of AMW036 or AMW136 modules ship with whatever versions of ZentriOS are available. The ZentriOS version is not guaranteed to be the same for all items shipped. Cut tape is suitable for sampling, evaluation, and pilot builds. 

Upon delivery, you can update modules individually, via OTA (Over-The-Air update), with a specific firmware version. 

## **9.2 Ordering a Specific ZentriOS Version or a Custom Firmware Version** 

## **ZentriOS version order OPN: AMWx36-x.y.zR** 

## **Custom firmware version OPN: AMWx36-xxxxxxR** 

Volume orders are delivered in reels, as indicated by the **R** suffix. To ensure consistency, an OPN is specified, corresponding to a specific version. 

ZentriOS version: the OPN is of the form <platform>-x.y.zR, where **<platform>** is AMW036 or AMW136, and **x** is the major version, **y** is the minor version and **z** is the patch version. 

Custom firmware version: the OPN is of the form <platform>-xxxxxx, where **<platform>** is AMW036 or AMW136, and **xxxxxx** is a unique ID indicating a specific product version. Zentri ships reels with the product version specified. 

Custom firmware can be a product bundle for the AMW036 or AMW136. A custom product bundle includes a specific version of ZentriOS. An AMW136 ZAP product bundle also contains a ZAP (ZentriOS application).
