1 Integrated Devices and Block Diagram
1.1 Module Block Diagram
The module has been optimized for minimum costs in lighting applications as a primary design goal. Therefore
the list of peripheral devices is rather short with only a serial FLASH memory. Figure 1-1 shows the block
diagram for the module.
The harmonic filter is purely capacitive and the antenna is integrated on the PCB. Beside some test points, the
module interface is providing five GPIO lines only. See section 3 for detailed information.

1.2.2 Available UART interfaces
There are two UART interfaces available for external use. SERCOM2 is available at test points for debug use
while SERCOM1 is available at connector X1 for application use.
The test points for SERCOM2 are duplicated on the PCB top layer and on the bottom layer. See Table 1-2 for
detailed inf ormation.

1.3 RF front end
The module implements a lowest cost RF front end with a differential PCB antenna and a purely capacitive
harmonic filter as far as assembled parts are considered. This approach is saving the costs for inductive or
MLCC parts. The RF front end components are designated in Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2. RF front end sections
The integrated antenna is the cause of a number of design constraints for the base board. Please regard the
drawings and suggestions in section 2.2 when designing the base board. The same section does also contain
more information about the ground design.

2 Mecha nical Descripti on
If not otherwise noted a tolerance of 0.1mm shall be considered for all dimensions.
2.1 Mechanical Dimensions
The module pins are arranged with a 2mm pitch distance. Figure 2-1 shows the actual dim ens ions and pi n
locations within the module design.
Figure 2-1. Module Bottom dimensions, seen from a CAD top perspective
The module can be solder mounted directly to a base board. Provision is made for direct SMT mounting and for
true hole mounting on a pin header with 2mm pitch. The module is delivered with true-hole pads. The pin header
is supposed to be part of the base board.
2.2 Footprint Recommendation
Since the antenna is integrated, a number of design constraints have to be considered for the base board design.
2.2.1 Pin header mounting
The module can be mounted on pin headers with 2mm pitch like the SAMTEC TMM series. This mounting
scheme requires a 7-pi n singl e row hea der a nd two si ngle pi ns ne xt to th e anten na. The pins are supposed to be
assembled on the base board in the normal top assembly process.

It is required to mount the module at the outline of the base board and to orient the antenna towards the board
edge. See Figure 2-2 for the placement range in relation to the base board edge. The area underneath the
antenna shall not be filled with copper.
The area underneath the module plus a margin of additional six millimeters shall be filled with copper on the base
board and tied to the ground plane with additional vias.
Figure 2-2. Thru hole footprint dra wing
Best way is to install the module with the antenna area to protrude beyond the board edge. If the system design
does not allow the antenna area to stand out, the module can be positioned in line with the board edge. Installing
the module further inside may cause a degradation in performance.
The mounting distance in between the module and the base board shall be in between 1mm and 2mm. For lower
distances the design rules for the SMT mounting according to Figure 2-3 will apply.

Atmel-42486B-ATSAMR21B18-MZ210PA_Datasheet_09/2015

Surface solder mounting
For lowest cost, the module can be surface mounted to the base board. This saves the costs for the pin header.
The drawing in Fi gure 2-3 shows the recommended base board foot print.
The antenna shall not be influenced by the base board m aterial. Any metal or dielectric material as FR-4 or
similar would tune the antenna out of band. The module has to be mounted with t he antenna end to protrude
beyond the board edge. The area underneath the module shall be filled with a grounded copper fill.
As an alternative, the base board can be cut out as shown in Figure 2-3. This solution can help to keep the base
board outline by avoiding an antenna frequency deviation.
The SMT pads in the base board shall exceed the module outline at least by 0.45mm to achieve a controlled
solder result.
