Integration guide[edit | edit source]

This section provides useful information and resources that let the system designer integrate the DWS module in the application very quickly.

Typical scenario[edit | edit source]

The following picture shows the conceptual block diagram of the application where the host is an Embedded System.

Typical Embedded scenario
Real case scenario on AXEL Lite SOM Evaluation Kit

Electrical guidelines[edit | edit source]

  • SDIO lines
    • 50ohm single ended impedance
    • keep lines as short as possible
    • place series resistor on the carrier for impedance matching (tipical 22ohm)
  • 5V and 3.3V rails can power up in any order
    • by default 5V rail is not used by the add-on
  • keep WIFI_EN asserted during power-up sequence

Customizations[edit | edit source]

Many customization are potentially available for this module:

  • I/O with 1.8V levels
    • applies to all the interfaces (SDIO, UART, EN)
  • the module can be powered by the 5V rail only
  • I2S interface can be made available for BT operations

Ask more information to technical support about this topic.

Calibration process[edit | edit source]

The radio interface of the DWS module is configured by several parameters. These parameters are set in Linux user space.

Regulatory domain[edit | edit source]

For proper operation in the country where the system is deployed, the regulatory domain has to be configured. See this section for more details

MAC address[edit | edit source]

The MAC address is fused inside the module and assured to be unique

Antenna selection[edit | edit source]

The WiFi module featured inside this add-on provides some precertifications that allow the final customer to decrease the amount of test to perform to obtain the needed certification.

To be able to use these precertifications a proper antenna has to be selected. Contact technical support for more informations.

Tested Antennas[edit | edit source]

Following a list of tested and approved antennas:

  • Laird technology 001-0001 with UFL to SMA adapter
