2.4 WINCS02 Module Placement Guidelines

  • For any Wi-Fi ® product, the antenna placement affects the performance of the whole system. The antenna requires free space to radiate RF signals, and it must not be surrounded by the ground plane. Thus, for the best PCB antenna performance, it is recommended that the WINCS02PC/E Module is placed at the edge of the host board.
  • The WINCS02PC/WINCS02PE Module ground outline edge must be aligned with the edge of the host board ground plane as shown in the following figure.
  • A low-impedance ground plane for the WINCS02 Module ensures the best radio performance (best range and lowest noise). The ground plane can be extended beyond the minimum recommendation as required for the host board EMC and noise reduction.
  • For the best performance, keep metal structures and components (such as mechanical spacers, bump-on and so on) at least 31.75 mm away from the PCB trace antenna as illustrated in the following figure.
  • The antenna on the WINCS02 Module must not be placed in direct contact with or in close proximity to plastic casing or objects. Keep a minimum clearance of 10 mm in all directions around the PCB antenna as shown in the following figure. Keeping metallic and plastic objects close to the antenna can detune the antenna and reduce the performance of the device.

  • Exposed GND pads on the bottom of the WINCS02 Module must be soldered to the host board (see the Example of Host Board on Top Layer figure in the WINCS02 Module Routing Guidelines from Related Links).
  • A PCB cutout or a copper keepout is required under the RF test point (see WINCS02 Module Packaging Information from Related Links).
  • Copper keepout areas are required on the top layer under voltage test points (see WINCS02 Module Packaging Information from Related Links).
  • Alternatively, the entire region, except the exposed ground paddle, can be solder-masked. The following figure illustrates the examples of WINCS02 Module placement on a host board with a ground plane. Refer to the following figure for placement-specific guidance. Figure 2-9.

2.5 WINCS02 Module R outing Guidelines

  • Use the multi-layer host board for routing signals on the inner layer and the bottom layer.
  • The top layer (underneath the module) of the host board must be ground with as many GND vias as possible as shown in the following figure.
  • Avoid fan-out of the signals under the module or antenna area. Use a via to fan-out signals to the edge of the WINCS02 Module.
  • For a better GND connection to the WINCS02 Module, solder the exposed GND pads of the WINCS02 Module on the host board.
  • For the module GND pad, use a GND via of a minimum 10 mil (hole diameter) for good ground to all the layers and thermal conduction path.
  • Having a series resistor on the host board for all reserved pins and digital interface pins is recommended. These resistors must be placed close to the WINCS02 Module.
  • The RTCC Oscillator (32.768 kHz) on the host board must be placed close to the WINCS02 Module and follow the shortest trace routing length with no vias (see the following figure).

2.6 WINCS02 Module RF Consider ations

The overall performance of the system is significantly affected by the product design, environment and application. The product designer must ensure system-level shielding (if required) and verify the performance of the product features and applications. Consider the following guidelines for optimal RF performance:

  • The WINCS02 Module must be positioned in a noise-free RF environment and must be kept far away from high-frequency clock signals and any other sources of RF energy.
  • The antenna must not be shielded by any metal objects.
  • The power supply must be clean and noise-free.
  • Make sure that the width of the traces routed to GND, VDD rails are sufficiently large for handling peak TX current consumption. Note: The WINCS02 Module includes RF shielding on top of the board as a standard feature.

2.7 WINCS02 Module Antenna Consider ations

2.7.1 PCB Antenna

For the WINCS02PE/PC Module, the PCB antenna is fabricated on the top copper layer. The layers below the antenna do not have copper trace. It is recommended that the module to be mounted on the edge of the host board and to have no PCB material below the antenna structure of the module and no copper traces or planes on the host board in that area. The following table lists the technical specification of the PCB antenna when tested with the WINCS02 Module mounted on the WINCS02 Add-On Board.

WINCS02IC and WINCS02 Family Device Overview Data Sheet © 2024-2025 Microchip Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries DS70005577B - 20 Table 2-4. PCB Antenna Specific ation for WINCS02 Module Parameter Specification Operating frequency 2400-2485 MHz Peak gain 1.18 dBi at 2410 MHz Efficiency (average) 45%(1) Note: 1. The size of the WINCS02 Add-On Board is 25.4 mm x 57.2 mm. The antenna efficiency will improve with larger ground plane base boards. The same antenna achieved an average efficiency of 69% with a base board size of 85 mm x 40 mm. If the best case routing guidelines are followed on a larger ground plane application board, the efficiency will be better.

2.7.2 External Antenna Placement R ec ommendations

The user must ensure the following for the placement of the antenna and its cable:

  • Do not route the antenna cable over circuits generating electrical noise on the host board or alongside or underneath the module. The recommendation is to route the cable straight out of the module.
  • Do not place the antenna in direct contact or in close proximity of the plastic casing/objects.
  • Do not enclose the antenna within a metal shield.
  • The user must keep any components capable of radiating noise, signals or harmonics in the 2.4-2.5 GHz frequency range away from the antenna and, if feasible, provide shielding for such components. Any noise radiated from the host board in this frequency band degrades the sensitivity of the module.
  • Place the antenna at a distance greater than 5 cm away from the module. The following figure illustrates the antenna keepout area (do not place the antenna in this area). This recommendation is based on an open-air measurement and does not take into account any metal shielding of the customer end product. When a metal enclosure is used, the antenna can be located closer to the WINCS02 Module. The following figure illustrates how the antenna cable must be routed depending on the location of the antenna with respect to the WINCS02 PCB. There are two possible options for the optimum routing of the cable.

2.7.2.1 External Antennas

The WINCS02/UE/UC Modules have a small surface mount U.FL connector for an external antenna connection. The choice of antenna is limited to the antenna types that the module is tested and approved for regulatory certification. The WINCS02/UE/UC Modules are approved to use with the antennas listed in the following table. It is permissible to use a different antenna, provided it is the same antenna type, has the same antenna gain (equal or less than) and similar in-band and out-of-band characteristics are present (refer to antenna specification sheet for cutoff frequencies). If other antenna types are used, the OEM installer must conduct the necessary assessments and authorize the antenna with the respective regulatory agencies and ensure compliance. Table 2-5.

If the end product using the module is designed to have an antenna port that is accessible to the end user, a unique (non-standard) antenna connector (as permissible by FCC) must be used (for example, RP (Reverse Polarity)-SMA socket). 3. If an RF coaxial cable is used between the module RF output and the enclosure, a unique (non-standard) antenna connector must be used in the enclosure wall to interface with the antenna. 4. Contact the antenna vendor for detailed antenna specifications to review the suitability to the end product operating environment and to identify alternatives. 5. If any of these antennas are used, an additional post-calibration step is required on the customer's application board. For more details, refer to the WINCS02 Module External Antenna Calibration Guide (DS50003753).

2.8 WINCS02 Module R e flo w Pr ofile In f ormation

The WINCS02 Module was assembled using the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standard lead-free reflow profile. The WINCS02 Module can be soldered to the host board using standard leaded or lead-free solder reflow profiles. To avoid damaging the module, adhere to the following recommendations:

  • For solder reflow recommendations, refer to the AN233 Solder Reflow Recommendation Application Note (DS00233).
  • Do not exceed a peak temperature (TP) of 250°C.
  • For specific reflow profile recommendations from the vendor, refer to the Solder Paste Data Sheet.
  • Use no-clean flux solder paste.
  • Do not wash as moisture can be trapped under the shield.
  • Use only one flow. If the PCB requires multiple flows, apply the module on the final flow.

2.8.1 Cleaning

The exposed GND pad helps to self-align the module, avoiding pad misalignment. The recommendation is to use the no clean solder pastes. Ensure full drying of no-clean paste fluxes as a result of the reflow process. As per the recommendation by the solder paste vendor, this requires longer reflow profiles and/or peak temperatures toward the high end of the process window. The uncured flux residues can lead to corrosion and/or shorting in accelerated testing and possibly the field.

2.9 WINCS02 Module Assembly Consider ations

The WINCS02 Module is assembled with an Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) shield to ensure compliance with EMI emission and immunity rules. The EMI shield is made of a tin-plated steel

WINCS02IC and WINCS02 Family Device Overview Data Sheet © 2024-2025 Microchip Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries DS70005577B - 28 (SPTE) and is not hermetically sealed. Solutions like IPA and similar solvents can be used to clean the WINCS02 Module. However, do not use the cleaning solutions that contain acid on the module.

2.9.1 Conformal Coating

The modules are not intended for use with a conformal coating, and the customer assumes all risks (such as the module reliability, performance degradation and so on) if a conformal coating is applied to the modules.

5.1 United States

The WINCS02PC/WINCS02PE/WINCS02UC/WINCS02UE Modules have received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecommunications, Part 15 Subpart C “Intentional Radiators” single-modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212 Modular Transmitter approval. Single-modular transmitter approval is defined as a complete RF transmission sub-assembly, designed to be incorporated into another device, that must demonstrate compliance with FCC rules and policies independent of any host. A transmitter with a modular grant can be installed in different end-use products (referred to as a host, host product or host device) by the grantee or other equipment manufacturer, then the host product may not require additional testing or equipment authorization for the transmitter function provided by that specific module or limited module device. The user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance. A host product itself is required to comply with all other applicable FCC equipment authorization regulations, requirements, and equipment functions that are not associated with the transmitter module portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated: to regulations for other transmitter components within a host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Subpart B), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to additional authorization requirements for the non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e., Suppliers Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) or certification) as appropriate (e.g., Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmitter modules may also contain digital logic functions).
