5. Power Management

The ATWILC1000-MR110xB module has several device states:

• On states:

– ON_Transmit – device actively transmits an 802.11 signal. Highest output power and nominal

current consumption.

– ON_Receive – device actively receivies an 802.11 signal. Lowest sensitivity and nominal

current consumption.

– ON_Doze – device is powered on but it does not actively transmit or receive the data.

– Power_Down – device core supply is powered off.

The following pins are used to switch between the ON and Power_Down states:

• CHIP_EN – this pin (pin 22) enables or disables the DC/DC converter.

• VDDIO – I/O supply voltage from external supply.

In the ON states, VDDIO is ON and CHIP_EN is high (at VDDIO voltage level). To change from the ON

states to Power_Down state, connect the RESETN and CHIP_EN pin to logic low (GND) by following the

power down sequence mentioned in Power-Up/Down Sequence. When VDDIO is off and CHIP_EN is

low, the chip is powered off with no leakage (also see Restrictions for Power States).

Note:

1. The power consumption values are measured when VBAT is 3.3V and VDDIO is 3.3V at 25°C.

2. Current consumption mentioned for these states is the sum of current consumed in VDDIO and

VBAT voltage rails.

5.2 Restrictions for Power States

When no power is supplied to the device, the DC/DC Converter output and VDDIO are both turned off (at

ground potential). In this case, a voltage cannot be applied to the device pins because each pin contains

an ESD diode from the pin to supply. This diode will turn on when voltage higher than one diode-drop is

supplied to the pin.

If a voltage must be applied to the signal pads while the chip is in a low power state, the VDDIO supply

must be on, so the Sleep mode or power-down state must be used.

Similarly, to prevent the pin-to-ground diode from turning on, do not apply a voltage that is more than one

diode-drop below ground to any pin.

5.3 Power-Up/Down Sequence

The following figure illustrates the power-up/down sequence for the ATWILC1000-MR110xB module.

6. CPU and Memory Subsystems

6.1 Processor

This ATWILC1000-MR110xB module has a Cortus APS3 32-bit processor. This processor performs many

of the MAC functions including but not limited to association, authentication, power management, security

key management, and MSDU aggregation/deaggregation. In addition, the processor provides flexibility for

various modes of operation, such as STA and AP modes.

6.2 Memory Subsystem

The APS3 core uses a 128 KB instruction/boot ROM along with a 160 KB instruction RAM and a 64 KB

data RAM. In addition, the device uses a 128 KB shared RAM, accessible by the processor and MAC that

allows the APS3 core to perform various data management tasks on the Tx and Rx data packets.

6.3 Nonvolatile Memory (eFuse)

This ATWILC1000-MR110xB module has 768 bits of nonvolatile eFuse memory that is read by the CPU

after device reset. This nonvolatile One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory is used to store customer

specific parameters, such as MAC address; various calibration information, such as Tx power, crystal

frequency offset etc; and other software-specific configuration parameters. The eFuse is partitioned into

six 128 bit banks. Each bank has the same bit map, mentioned in the following figure. The purpose of the

first 80 bits in each bank is fixed, and the remaining 48 bits are general purpose software dependent bits.

Each bank is programmed independently, which allows for several updates of the device parameters

following the initial programming. For example, if the MAC address has to be changed, Bank 1 has to be

programmed with the new MAC address along with the values of TX gain correction and Frequency offset

if they are used and programmed in the Bank 0. The contents of Bank 0 have to be invalidated in this

case by programming the Invalid bit in the Bank 0. This will allow the firmware to use the MAC address

from Bank 1.

By default, all the ATWILC1000-MR110PB and ATWILC1000-MR110UB modules are programmed with

the MAC address and the Frequency offset bits of Bank 0.

7. WLAN Subsystem

The WLAN subsystem is composed of the Media Access Controller (MAC), Physical Layer (PHY), and

the radio.

7.1 MAC

7.1.1 Description

This module is designed to operate at low power, while providing high data throughput. The IEEE 802.11

MAC functions are implemented with a combination of dedicated datapath engines, hardwired control

logic, and a low power, high-efficiency microprocessor. The combination of dedicated logic with a

programmable processor provides optimal power efficiency and real time response while providing the

flexibility to accommodate evolving standards and future feature enhancements.

The dedicated datapath engines are used to implement data path functions with heavy computational

requirements. For example, a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) engine checks the Cyclic Redundancy

Check (CRC) of the transmitting and receiving packets, and a cipher engine performs all the required

encryption and decryption operations for the WEP, WPA-TKIP, WPA2 CCMP-AES and WPA2 Enterprise

security requirements.

Control functions, which have real time requirements, are implemented using hardwired control logic

modules. These logic modules offer real time response while maintaining configurability through the

processor. Examples of hardwired control logic modules are the channel access control module

(implements EDCA/HCCA, Beacon Tx control, interframe spacing, and so on), protocol timer module

(responsible for the Network Access vector, back-off timing, timing synchronization function, and slot

management), MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) handling module, aggregation/deaggregation module,

block ACK controller (implements the protocol requirements for burst block communication), and Tx/Rx

control Finite State Machine (FSM) (coordinate data movement between PHY and MAC interface, cipher

engine, and the Direct Memory Acces (DMA) interface to the Tx/Rx FIFOs).

Following are the characteristics of MAC functions implemented solely in software on the microprocessor:

• Functions with high memory requirements or complex data structures. Examples are association

table management and power save queuing.

• Functions with low computational load or without critical real time requirements. Examples are

authentication and association.

• Functions that require flexibility and upgradeability. Examples are beacon frame processing and

QoS scheduling.

8. External Interfaces

This section describes the various host and debug interfaces of the ATWILC1000-MR110xB module.

8.1 Interfacing with the Host Microcontroller

This section describes how to interface ATWILC1000-MR110xB module with the host microcontroller. The

interface comprises of a slave SPI/SDIO and additional control signals, as shown in the figure. Additional

control signals are connected to the GPIO/IRQ interface of the microcontroller.

Note:

enabled. Connect SDIO_SPI_CFG to VDDIO through a 1MΩ resistor to enable the SPI interface.

Connect SDIO_SPI_CFG to ground to enable SDIO interface.

2. It is recommended to place test points for pins I2C_SDA(3), I2C_SCL(2), GPIO_3(25) and

GPIO_5(27) in the design.

8.2 SPI Slave Interface

The SPI slave interface can be enabled by connecting the SDIO_SPI_CFG pin to VDDIO. This SPI

interface is used to exchange the control and 802.11 data. The SPI is a full duplex slave-synchronous

serial interface that is available following reset when pin 10 (SDIO_SPI_CFG) is connected to VDDIO.

The SPI interface pin mapping configuration is provided in the following table.

Table 8-2. SPI Interface Pin Mapping

Pin # SPI Function

10 SDIO_SPI_CFG: Must be connected to VDDIO

16 SSN: Active-Low Slave Select

15 MOSI: Serial Data Receive

18 SCK: Serial Clock

17 MISO: Serial Data Transmit

When the SPI is not selected, i.e., when SSN is high, the SPI interface will not interfere with data

transfers between the serial master and other serial slave devices. When the serial slave is not selected,

its transmitted data output is buffered, resulting in a high impedance drive onto the MISO line.

The SPI interface responds to a protocol that allows an external host to read or write any register in the

chip and also initiate DMA transfers.

The SPI SSN, MOSI, MISO and SCK pins of this module have internal programmable pull up resistors.

These resistors are programmed to be disabled. Otherwise, if any of the SPI pins are driven to a low level

while this module is in the low power sleep state, current will flow from the VDDIO supply through the pull

up resistors, increasing the current consumption of the module.

8.3 SDIO Slave Interface

The SDIO interface is enabled by connecting the SDIO_SPI_CFG pin to ground. This SDIO interface is

used to exchange the control and 802.11 data.. The SDIO interface is available after reset when pin 10

(SDIO_SPI_CFG) is connected to ground.

This SDIO is a full speed interface. The interface supports the 1-bit/4-bit SD transfer mode at the clock

range of 0-50 MHz. The host uses this interface to read and write from any register within the chip and

also configures this module for DMA data transfer.

ATWILC1000-MR110xB

The SDIO interface pin mapping configuration is provided in the following table.

Table 8-3. ATWILC1000 SDIO Interface Pin Mapping

Pin # SDIO Function

10 SDIO_SPI_CFG: Must be connected to ground

14 DAT3: Data 3

15 DAT2: Data 2

16 DAT1: Data 1

17 DAT0: Data 0

18 CMD: Command

19 CLK: Clock

The SDIO card is detected when the it is inserted into an SDIO host. During the normal initialization and

interrogation of the card by the host, the card identifies itself as an SDIO device. The host software

obtains the card information in a tuple (linked list) format and determines if that card’s I/O function(s) are

acceptable to activate. If the card is acceptable, it is allowed to power-up fully and start the I/O function(s)

built into the card.

The SD memory card communication is based on an advanced 9-pin interface (clock, command, four

data and three power lines) designed to operate at maximum operating frequency of 50 MHz.

8.3.1 Features

• Compliant with SDIO card specification version 2.0

• Host clock rate variable between 0 and 50 MHz

• Supports 1-bit/4-bit SD bus modes

• Allows card to interrupt host

• Responds to direct read/write (IO52) and extended read/write (IO53) transactions

• Supports suspend/resume operation

8.4 UART Debug Interface

This module has a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) interface on J25(RxD) and

J27(TxD) pins. This interface should be used only for debugging purposes. The UART is compatible with

the RS-232 standard, where ATWILC1000-MR110xB operates as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). It has

a two-pin RXD/TXD interface.

The default configuration for accessing the UART interface of ATWILC1000-MR110xB is mentioned

below:

• Baud rate: 115200

• Data: 8 bit

• Parity: None

• Stop bit: 1 bit

• Flow control: None

It also has Rx and Tx FIFOs, which ensures reliable high speed reception and low software overhead

transmission. FIFO size is 4x8 for both Rx and Tx direction. The UART has status registers that show the

ATWILC1000-MR110xB

number of received characters available in the FIFO and various error conditions; in addition, it has the

ability to generate interrupts based on these status bits.

An example of UART receiving or transmitting a single packet is shown in the following figure. This

example shows 7-bit data (0x45), odd parity, and two stop bits.

Figure 8-2. Example of UART RX or TX Packet

8.5 I2C Slave Interface

This module provides an I2C bus slave that allows for easy debugging of the ATWILC1000-MR110xB

devices. It supports I2C bus Version 2.1 – 2000.

The I2C interface is used only for debug. This interface is a two-wire serial interface consisting of a serial

data line (SDA, Pin 17) and a serial clock (SCL, Pin 18). It responds to seven bit address value 0x60.

This module I2C interface operates in standard mode (with data rates up to 100Kb/s) and fast mode (with

data rates up to 400Kb/s).

The I2C is a synchronous serial interface. The SDA line is a bidirectional signal and changes only when

the SCL line is low, except for STOP, START, and RESTART conditions. The output drivers are open-

drain to perform wire AND functions on the bus. The devices on the bus are limited to the 400pF

capacitance. Data is transmitted in byte packages.

For specific information, refer to the Philips Specification entitled “The I2C -Bus Specification, Version

2.1.”

ATWILC1000-MR110xB

9. Notes on Interfacing with the ATWILC1000-MR110xB

Programmable Pull up Resistors

The ATWILC1000-MR110xB module provides programmable pull up resistors on various pins. The

purpose of these resistors is to keep any unused input pins from floating, which causes excess current to

flow through the input buffer from the VDDIO supply. Any unused pin on the device must leave these pull

up resistors enabled, so that the pin will not float. The default state at power-up is for the pull up resistor

to be enabled; however, any pin that is used must have the pull up resistor disabled. The reason for this

is that if any pins are driven to a low level while the device is in the low power sleep state, current flows

from the VDDIO supply through the pull up resistors, increasing the current consumption of the module.

Since the value of the pull up resistor is approximately 100 kOhm, the current through any pull up resistor

that is being driven low is VDDIO/100K. For VDDIO = 3.3V, the current is approximately 33 µA. The pins

that are used and have programmable the pull up resistor disabled should always be actively driven to

either a high or low level and not be allowed to float.

12. Design Consideration

This section provides the guidelines on placement and routing to achieve the best performance.

12.1 ATWILC1000-MR110PB Placement and Routing Guidelines

It is critical to follow the recommendations listed below to achieve the best RF performance:

• The module must be placed on host board, The printed antenna area must overlap with the carrier

board. The portion of the module containing the antenna should not stick out over the edge of the

host board. The antenna is designed to work properly when it is sitting directly on top of a 1.5mm

thick printed circuit board. Figure 12-2 shows the best, poor and worst case module placements in

host board.

• If the module is placed at the edge of the host board, a minimum 22mm by 5 mm area directly

under the antenna must be clear of all metal on all layers of the board. “In-land” placement is

acceptable; however, deepness of keep-out area must grove to: module edge to host board edge

plus 5 mm.

Note: Do not place the module in the middle of the host board or far away from the host board

edge.

• Follow the module placement, keepout, host PCB cutout recommendation as shown in Figure 12-1

– Avoid routing any traces in the highlighted region on the top layer of the host board which will

be directly below the module area.

– Follow the electrical keepout layer recommendation as shown in Figure 12-1. There should be

no copper in all layers of the host board in this region. Avoid placing any components (like

mechanical spacers, bumpon etc) in the recommended electrical keepout area.

– Place GND polygon pour below the module with the recommended boundary in the top layer

of the host board as shown in Figure 12-1. Do not have any breaks in this GND plane.

– Place sufficient GND vias in the highlighted area below the module for better RF

performance.

– It is recommended to have a 3x3 grid of GND vias solidly connecting the exposed GND

paddle of the module to the inner layer ground plane. This will act as a good ground and

thermal conduction for the ATWILC1000-MR110PB module. The GND vias should have a

minimum via hole size of 0.3mm.

– Follow the mechanical boundary of the host PCB as shown in the Figure 12-1

• Keep the large metal objects away from antenna to avoid electromagnetic field blocking.

• Do not enclose the antenna within a metal shield.

• Keep any components which may radiate noise or signals within the 2.4 GHz – 2.5 GHz frequency

band away from the antenna and if possible, shield those components. Any noise radiated from the

host board in this frequency band will degrade the sensitivity of the module.

• Make sure the width of the traces routed to GND, VDDIO and VBAT rails are sufficiently larger for

handling the peak Tx current consumption.

12.2 Printed PCB Antenna Performance of ATWILC1000-MR110PB

The printed PCB antenna on the ATWILC1000-MR110PB is a meandered Inverted F Antenna (IFA). The

antenna is fed via matching network, which is matched for the module installed on 1.5mm thick main

board. Main board thickness deviation by ±1mm changes RX/TX performance by ±1dB maximum

referring to RX/TX performance with default antenna matching network and installed on 1.5mm thick main

board.

Measured antenna gain is -0.3dBi.

12.3 ATWILC1000-MR110UB Placement and Routing Guidelines

The ATWILC1000-MR110UB module has an Ultra Small Miniature RF Connector (u.FL) for the external

antenna.

The choice of antenna is limited to the antenna types for which the module was tested and approved. For

a list of tested and approved antennas that may be used with the module, refer to the respective country

in the Regulatory Approval section.

has been used for the certification of ATWILC1000-MR110UB. It is recommended to use the same or

similar external antenna in design.

13. Reflow Profile Information

This section provides the guidelines for the reflow process to get the module soldered to the customer's

design.

13.1 Storage Condition

13.1.1 Moisture Barrier Bag Before Opening

A moisture barrier bag must be stored in a temperature of less than 30°C with humidity under 85% RH.

The calculated shelf life for the dry-packed product shall be 12 months from the date the bag is sealed.

13.1.2 Moisture Barrier Bag Open

Humidity indicator cards must be blue, indicating that the humidity is <30%.

13.2 Solder Paste

SnAgCu eutectic solder with melting temperature of 217°C is most commonly used for lead-free solder

reflow application. This alloy is widely accepted in the semiconductor industry due to its low cost,

relatively low melting temperature, and good thermal fatigue resistance. Some recommended pastes

include NC-SMQ® 230 flux and Indalloy® 241 solder paste made up of 95.5 Sn/3.8 Ag/0.7 Cu or SENJU

N705-GRN3360-K2-V Type 3, no clean paste.

The recommended stencil is laser-cut, stainless-steel type with thickness of 100 µm to 130 µm and

approximately a 1:1 ratio of stencil opening to pad dimension. To improve paste release, a positive taper

with bottom opening 25 µm larger than the top is utilized. Local manufacturing experience may find other

combinations of stencil thickness and aperture size to get good results.

13.4 Printing Process

The printing process requires no significant changes compared to Sn/Pb solder. Any guidelines

recommended by the paste manufacturers to accommodate paste specific characteristics should be

followed. Post-print inspection and paste volume measurement is very critical to ensure good print quality

and uniform paste.

13.5 Baking Conditions

This module is rated at MSL level 3. After the sealed bag is opened, no baking is required within 168

hours as long as the devices are held at ≤ 30°C/60% RH or stored at < 10% RH.

The module requires baking before mounting if:

• The sealed bag has been open for more than 168 hours

• The humidity indicator card reads more than 10%

• SIPs need to be baked for eight hours at 125°C

ATWILC1000-MR110xB

13.6 Soldering and Reflow Condition

Optimization of the reflow process is the most critical factor considered for lead-free soldering. The

development of an optimal profile must account the paste characteristics, the size of the board, the

density of the components, the mix of the larger and smaller components, and the peak temperature

requirements of the components. An optimized reflow process is the key to ensuring a successful lead-

free assembly and achieves high yield and long-term solder joint reliability.

Temperature Profiling

Temperature profiling must be performed for all new board designs by attaching thermocouples at the

solder joints, on the top surface of the larger components, and at multiple locations of the boards. This is

to ensure that all components are heated to a temperature above the minimum reflow temperatures and

the smaller components do not exceed the maximum temperature limit. The SnAgCu solder alloy melts at

~217°C, so the reflow temperature peak at joint level must be 15 to 20°C higher than melting

temperature. The targeted solder joint temperature for the SnAgCu solder must be ~235°C. For larger or

sophisticated boards with a large mix of components, it is also important to ensure that the temperature

difference across the board is less than 10 degrees to minimize board warpage. The maximum

temperature at the component body must not exceed the MSL3 qualification specification.

13.6.1 Reflow Oven

It is strongly recommended that a reflow oven equipped with more heating zones and Nitrogen

atmosphere be used for lead-free assembly. Nitrogen atmosphere has shown to improve the wet-ability

and reduce temperature gradient across the board. It can also enhance the appearance of the solder

joints by reducing the effects of oxidation.

The following items should also be observed in the reflow process.

1. Some recommended pastes include:

– NC-SMQ® 230 flux and Indalloy® 241 solder paste made up of 95.5 Sn/3.8 Ag/0.7 Cu

– SENJU N705-GRN3360-K2-V Type 3, no clean paste

2. Allowable reflow soldering iterations:

– Three times based on the following reflow soldering profile (refer following Figure).

3. Temperature profile:

– Reflow soldering shall be done according to the following temperature profile (refer to the

following figure).

– Peak temperature: 250°C.

ATWILC1000-MR110xB

Figure 13-1. Solder Reflow Profile

Cleaning

The exposed ground paddle helps to self-align the module, avoiding pad misalignment. The use of no-

clean solder pastes is recommended. Full drying of no-clean paste fluxes must be ensured as a result of

the reflow process. This may require longer reflow profiles and/or peak temperatures toward the high end

of the process window as recommended by the solder paste vendor. It is believed that uncured flux

residues could lead to corrosion and/or shorting in accelerated testing and possibly the field.

Rework

Rework is to remove the mounted SIP package and replace with a new unit. It is recommended that once

an ATWILC1000-MR110xB module has been removed it should never be reused. During the rework

process, the mounted module and PCB are heated partially, and the module is removed. It is

recommended to heat-proof the proximity of the mounted parts and junctions and use the best nozzle for

rework that is suited to the module size.

ATWILC1000-MR110xB

14. Module Assembly Considerations

The ATWILC1000-MR110xB modules are assembled with an EMI Shield to ensure compliance with EMI

emission and immunity rules. The EMI shield is made of a tin-plated steel (SPTE) and is not hermetically

sealed. Solutions like IPA and similar solvents can be used to clean the ATWILC1000-MR110xB module;

however, cleaning solutions that contain acid should never be used on the module.

The ATWILC1000-MR110xB modules are manufactured without any conformal coating applied. It is the

customer’s responsibility if a conformal coating is specified and applied to the ATWILC1000- MR110xB

module.

15.1 United States

The ATWILC1000-MR110PB and ATWILC1000-MR110UB 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., Verification or Declaration of Conformity) as

appropriate (e.g., Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmitter modules may also contain digital logic functions).

Microchip Devices Code Protection Feature

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:

• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.

• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the

market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.

• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of

these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the

operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is

engaged in theft of intellectual property.

• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.

ATWILC1000-MR110xB

• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their

code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”

Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the

code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a

violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software

or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
