VVeerrssiioonn 33..00

NOTE on SPI_CS and SPI_CLK: Based on the Host SPI configuration, during BOOT UP, SPI Master could be coming up as GPIO pins. In the wake of this possibility, it may be needed to add a pull up on the SPI_CS and a pull up (CPOL=1)/pull down (CPOL=0) on the SPI_CLK. The value of pull up/ pull down resistor should follow the recommendations as given on the HOST side.

However, a WLAN application that uses the RS9110-N-11-03 module may differ in the following:

1. Antenna connection: The ‘microwave coaxial connector with switch’ shown would not be required.

The RF_OUT1 (Module Pin No. 26) signals may be directly connected to an on-board chip antenna, or may be

terminated in an SMA connector of any form factor for enabling the use of external antennas.

The RF-OUT2 (Module Pin No. 25) is terminated through 50ohms precision resistor (1% Tolerance) to ground.

2. The LED is optional.

4 Circuit and Layout Guidelines

The following are guidelines for integrating the RS9110-N-11-03 module into a wireless LAN solution.

1. The WLAN module has a central ground pad of size 5.8mm x 5.2mm. An application’s layout must have a provision to include this.

a. Please provide a 5.,8 mm X 5.2 mm Copper pad on the Top side of the application board. Please open the solder mask in this area so that the Cu is exposed.

b. Please provide a 5.8 mm X 5.2 mm or higher Copper pad on the bottom side of the application board. Please open the solder mask in this area so that the Cu is exposed.

c. Please provide at least 20 via’s to connect these pads to the Ground plane. We recommend that the via’s should be at least 10 mil x 18 mil.

2. For RESET one of the two options should be followed

a. The RESET can be Host driven. At the time of Power-on, Please ensure that the reset is held low for 20mSec or more. After this the reset should be driven high.

b. Reset may be driven by an R-C circuit. The recommended value of ‘R’ is 100 Kohms and the recommended value of ‘C’ is 0.1uF.

3. The RF trace on RF_OUT should have a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. They can use any standard 50 RF trace (Microstrip or Coplanar wave guide). The width of the 50 ohms line depends on their PCB stack like the dielectric of the PCB, thickness of the copper, thickness of the dielectric and other factors. Customers should work with their

fabrication unit to on these factors.

4. To evaluate transmit and receive performance like Tx Power and EVM, Rx sensitivity etc., a ‘microwave coaxial connector with switch’ should be placed between RF_OUT and the antenna.

5. CLK_REF is the reference clock to the module and should therefore be routed with minimum trace length and should be routed away from

other switching or sensitive traces.

6. The design for embedded system with the Wi-Fi Module should provide for a peak power load of 400mA.

5 Chip Antenna Layout Recommendations

The choice of antenna will depend on the application. However, some recommendation is listed below if an on-chip antenna is desired to be used:

Rainsun AN1003

Fractus FR05-S1-NO-1-004

Please make sure that the Cu is etched out in all the Layers in the Antenna region. The Ground plane should be removed from under and both sides of the antenna. Please follow the rules listed in the picture below while doing the layout for the chip Antenna.

Figure 3 Antenna Layout The chosen Chip Antennae are /4 antennae and would require external ground

plane for proper functioning and the length of the ground plane behind the antenna (from the feedpoint of antenna to backwards) should be atleast 1 or 2 inches.

Interms of feedtrace which does not have ground underneath (3mm length), will be resonant part of the antenna and lower its frequency. This can be a useful tuning method although this kind of short trace should have little effect which can be observed on a Network Analyzer. It is recommended to characterize the antenna

portion using a Network Analyzer. Electrical performance of any Chip antenna is influenced by the physical characteristics of the surrounding ground plane, feed line, other devices, and materials. This can be used as an advantage by manipulating certain parameters to affect resonant frequency and match:

1. Ground plane configuration

2. Distance from antenna

3. Topology around antenna

4. Feed point transmission line impedance

5. Trace width

6. Trace length

7. Matching Network

8. PCB substrate thickness

9. PCB substrate dielectric constant.

5.1 Antenna Matching Network

Provision should be given for a pie network as shown in the schematics. The values shown below are just for example. The values of the pie network components depends on the Antenna part, Customers layout, Gnd plane in the layout & other components in the system which could

affect the radiation pattern of the Antenna. Please use a Network Analyzer to optimize the values of the match network for the best return loss.
