1 General Description
The AMW006 and AMW106 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 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 FCC & IC modular approval for use in
the United States and Canada, CE approval for use in
Europe, TELEC/MIC approval for use in Japan and
related approvals for use in other countries.

2 Block Diagram
Figure 1 is a block diagram of the AMWx06 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.
The module includes an antenna diversity switch. The
switch enables static or dynamic control of the external
antenna(s).

6.2 Routing Recommendations
When designing a carrier board, the addition of ground fill directly underneath the AMWx06 module, rather than signal
or power traces, is recommended. If traces must be routed directly beneath the module, avoid routing directly
underneath keepout areas shown in Figure 4 (ground fill is ok). All ground pads adjacent to antenna pins must be
connected to a solid ground plane. Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in degraded performance
of WLAN functionality.

subsequent and separate FCC approvals for intentional
radiation, provided no changes or modifications are
made to the module circuitry. Changes or modifications
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment. The end user must comply with all of the
instructions provided by the Grantee which indicate
installation and/or operating conditions necessary for
compliance.
The finished product is required to comply with all
applicable FCC equipment authorization, regulations,
requirements, and equipment functions not associated
with the transmitter module portion. For example,
compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for
other transmitter components within the host product;
to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15
Sub-part B “Unintentional Radiators”), such as digital
devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.;
and to additional authorization requirements for non-
transmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e.
Verification, or Declaration of Conformity) (e.g.,
transmitter modules may also contain digital logic
functions) as appropriate.
7.1.1 Labeling and User Information
Requirements
The AMW006 module has been labelled with a unique
FCC ID number, and if the FCC ID is not visible when the
module is installed inside another device, then the
outside of the finished product into which the module
is installed must also display a label referring to the
enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording as
follows:
The user manual for the product should include the
following statement:
Contains FCC ID: 2ABPY-B5BD9
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

7.1.2 RF Exposure
All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF
exposure requirements. OET Bulletin 65, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, provides
assistance in determining whether proposed or existing
transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply
with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
fields adopted by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). The bulletin offers guidelines and
suggestions for evaluating compliance.
If appropriate, compliance with exposure guidelines for
mobile and unlicensed devices can be accomplished by
the use of warning labels and by providing users with
information concerning minimum separation distances
from transmitting structures and proper installation of
antennas.
The following statement must be included as a
CAUTION statement in manuals and OEM products to
alert users of FCC RF exposure compliance:
If the AMW006 module is used in a portable application
(i.e., the antenna is less than 20 cm from persons during
operation), the integrator is responsible for performing
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing in accordance
with FCC rules 2.1091.
7.1.3 Approved External Antenna Types
Modular approval testing of the AMW006 was
performed with the antenna types listed in Table 11 -
Tested External Antenna Types.
To maintain modular approval in the United States, only
the tested antenna types shall be used. It is permissible
to use different antenna manufacturers provided the
antenna types match: in-band and out-of-band
radiation patterns and antenna gain must be similar to
those tested.

9 Ordering Information
You can order AMWx06 as either cut tape loaded with an unspecified ZentriOS, or as a full reel 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: AMWx06
You can order an unspecified ZentriOS version as cut tape. The OPN is of the form <platform>, where <platform> is
AMW006 or AMW106.
When ZentriOS version is unspecified, orders of AMW006 or AMW106 modules ship with whatever versions of
ZentriOS are available. The firmware 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: AMWx06-x.y.zR
Custom firmware version OPN: AMWx06-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 AMW006 or AMW106, and x is major
version, y is minor version and z is patch version.
Custom firmware version: the OPN is of the form <platform>-xxxxxx, where <platform> is AMW006 or AMW106, 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 AMW006 or AMW106. A custom product bundle includes a specific
version of ZentriOS. An AMW106 ZAP product bundle also contains a ZAP (ZentriOS application).
