1 General Description

The AMW006 and AMW106 modules from Zentri combine a microcontroller with a CYW43362 Wi-Fi device to provide an advanced stand-alone Wi-Fi and networking solution. The term AMWx06 refers to both modules. 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, 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 Cypress 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 microprocessor is based on a high-performance ARM® 32-bit Cortex™-M4. The AMW006/AMW106 microcontroller core operates at a frequency up to 84/100MHz providing up to 125 DMIPS or 1.25 DMIPS/MHz (Dhrystone 2.1). The AMW006 has 96KB of RAM. The AMW106 has 128KB of RAM. The AMWx06 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 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. Not Recommended for New Designs

To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter Not Recommended for New Designs

7.2 Canada

The AMW006 module has been certified for use in Canada under Industry Canada (IC) Radio Standards Specification (RSS) RSS-2 47 and RSSGen. Modular approval permits the installation of a module in a host device without the need to recertify the device.

7.2.1 Labeling and User Information

Labeling Requirements for the Host Device (from Section 3.2.1, RSS-Gen): The host device shall be properly labeled to identify the module within the host device. The Industry Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labeled to display the Industry Canada certification number of the module, preceded by the words “Contains transmitter module”, or the word “Contains”, or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows: User Manual Notice for License-Exempt Radio Apparatus (from Section 7.1.3 RSS-Gen): User manuals for license-exempt radio apparatus shall contain the following or equivalent notice in a conspicuous location in the user manual or alternatively on the device or both: Transmitter Antenna Notification (from Section 7.1.2 RSS-Gen): User manuals for transmitters shall display the following notice in a conspicuous location: The above notice may be affixed to the device instead of displayed in the user manual. Contains transmitter module IC: 11685A-B5BD9 This device complies with Industry Canada license - exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.

8 Packaging, Handling and Storage, RoHS

8.1 Packaging

Modules are shipped either 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 and storage. Ensure that all modules are managed in accordance with Moisture Sensitive Level 3 (MSL3) per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-20. AMWx06 modules should be hand-soldered ONLY. If reflow is required, AMWx06 modules must be baked first according to Joint Industry Standard J-STD-033C.

8.2 Handling & Storage

MSL3 Sensitive Device! The AMW006 module is a moisture sensitive device rated at Moisture Sensitive Level 3 (MSL3) per IPC/JEDEC J-STD- 20. 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 AMWx06 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. Recommendation: Bake product prior to any solder flow operation. This ensures optimal protection. Not Recommended for New Designs
