Page 2 RS9113 FIPS 140-2 802.11n Module Datasheet Version 1.1 Overview: The RS9113 FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certified Wi-Fi module is based on Silicon Labs' RS9113 ultra-low-power Convergence SoC. These modules offer dual-band 1x1 802.11n. They are high performance, long range and ultra-low power modules and include a multi-threaded MAC processor called ThreadArch®, digital and analog peripheral interfaces, baseband digital signal processor, calibration OTP memory, dual-band RF transceiver, dual-band high-power amplifiers, baluns, diplexers, diversity switch and Quad-SPI flash. The module’s embedded firmware includes the WLAN protocol stack along with WPA/WPA2-PSK and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP) and a feature-rich TCP/IP stack thus providing a fully- integrated solution for secure embedded low-end wireless applications. These modules can be connected to 8/16/32-bit host processors through SPI, UART, USB and USB-CDC interfaces. The modules are available in a small footprint form factor with low BoM requirement.

We recommend the ALPHA OM-338 lead-free solder paste. This profile is provided mainly for guidance. The total dwell time depends on the thermal mass of the assembled board and the sensitivity of the components on it. The recommended belt speed is 50-60 Cm/Min. A finished module can go through 2 more reflow processes

3.4 Baking Instructions

The RS9113 module packages are moisture sensitive and devices must be handled appropriately. After the devices are removed from their vacuum sealed packs, they should be taken through reflow for board assembly within 168 hours at room conditions, or stored at under 10% relative humidity. If these conditions are not met, the devices must be baked before reflow. The recommended baking time is nine hours at 125C. Not Recommended for New Designs

The Arrhenius equation is as follows: AT = λT1/ λT2 = exp[(-Eaa/k)(1/T1 – 1/T2)] where12 AT = Acceleration Factor Eaa = Appaprent activation energy (eV). 0.75eV is a conservative industry standard k = Boltzmann’s constant (8.62 x 10-5 eV/K) T1 = Temperature at use, in Kelvin T2 = Temperature at stress, in Kelvin Using the data from the HTOL Based Stress Testing and assuming a junction temperature of 55oC for a use case scenario, we can safely assume an operating life of >9 years. The junction temperature for the module’s ICs is usually 15 to 20oC more than the ambient temperature.
