AMW004 • Embedded Wi-Fi Networking Solution

General Description, Section 1

ADS-MW004-106R • AMW004 Datasheet Page|1

1 General Description

The AMW004 module from Zentri combines a micro-

controller with a BCM43362 Wi-Fi device and on-board

antenna (PCB trace or uFL) to provide an advanced

stand-alone Wi-Fi and networking solution.

An integrated module avoids difficult RF layout and en-

ables designers to rapidly embed Wi-Fi and secure net-

working functionality into virtually any device.

The ZentriOS serial-to-Wi-Fi application may be used to

fast-track module integration into end-products.

With dimensions of just 31.8 mm x 17.8 mm and a wide

temperature range, the module is suitable for integra-

tion into most embedded applications.

The Wi-Fi device from Broadcom 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. An external antenna op-

tion provides additional performance and flexibility if

required.

The microprocessor is based on a high-performance

ARM® Cortex™-M4 32-bit RISC core operating at a fre-

quency up to 120 MHz. The MCU incorporates high-

speed embedded memory including 1MB Flash memory

and 128 kB SRAM, and an extensive range of enhanced

I/Os and peripherals.

The AMW004 module connects a large number of MCU

pins to capitalize on the extensive MCU I/O and periph-

eral interfaces. The module supports the following list

of interfaces, and provides additional interface combi-

nations by leveraging MCU I/O multiplexing and alter-

nate function capabilities.

 10 x 12-bit A/D converters

 1 x 12-bit D/A converters

 2 x 4-Wire UART interfaces

 1 x SPI-master interface

 12 x edge/level sensitive wake inputs

The module may be powered by a single 3.3V power

supply. A separate WLAN power supply pin is provided

to minimize noise coupling into the WLAN subsystem,

and to enable additional control for power sensitive

applications.

Power consumption in various states is determined by

the power consumption of the microprocessor and

BCM43362 Wi-Fi chip. The power supply to the Wi-Fi

chip and radio subsystem may be externally knife-

switched under software control to achieve minimum

power consumption in an ultra-low power backup

state.

The microprocessor may be woken from low power

states by connecting any of 12 different module pins.

The module incorporates a 32.768 kHz crystal to main-

tain an accurate real time clock. A 32kHz clock output is

available on a dedicated module pin in both active and

MCU powerdown modes. The 32 kHz clock output may

be used to drive the clock input of other system devic-

es. This avoids the need for an additional crystal there-

by minimizing total system cost.

The module has numerous modular certifications. See

Section 7, Regulatory Certification.

2 Block Diagram

The block diagram of the AMW004 module shows the

main components of the module: an ARM Cortex-M4

microprocessor and BCM43362 Wi-Fi System-in-

Package (SiP) module. The microprocessor and periph-

erals are driven by a 12MHz crystal. The integrated RTC

is driven by a 32.768 kHz crystal. An integrated

1 MByte serial flash chip may be used to store addition-

al applications, user data or firmware images as part of

an 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 selection of the on-

board antenna or an external antenna plugged to the

u.FL connector.

6.2 Recommended PCB Footprint

Figure 3. AMW004 Recommended Footprint (Top view, all dimensions in thousands of an inch)

Figure 3 shows the recommended PCB footprint for the

AMW004 module. All dimensions are in thousands of

an inch.

The physical location of the u.FL antenna connector in

the bottom-right corner of the picture is provided for

reference ONLY. The connector is located on the top-

side of the module and does not connect to the PCB.

The addition of castellation’s on the periphery of the

module carrier board directly beneath the end of the

module nearest the antenna (as depicted in Figure 3)

are strongly recommended.

6.3 Routing Recommendations

When designing a carrier board, the addition of ground

fill directly underneath the AMW004 module, rather

than signal or power traces, is recommended.

All ground pads adjacent to antenna pins must be con-

nected to a solid ground plane. Do not route ANY metal

or PCB traces underneath the printed PCB antenna!

For optimal range, provide a clearance of approximately

4-5 mm (0.2”) above, below and to the front and each

side of the antenna end of the module. The antenna

has been explicitly tuned with the expectation it will be

positioned within close proximity of a plastic enclosure

or printed circuit board.

Failure to comply with these recommendations will al-

most certainly result in degraded performance of the

radio receiver and/or transmitter.

graded radio performance.

6.8 Application Examples

This section provides circuit examples demonstrating

how to configure the module to meet various applica-

tion requirements.

For hardware design guidelines, see:

https://docs.zentri.com/hardware/zentri/amwx06/am

wx06-hardware-design#pcb-layout

The general guidelines for the AMWx06 devices apply

to all Zentri devices.

Power Supply

The module requires at least 10µF of bulk capacitance

between VDD_3V3 pin 29 and ground and between

VDD_3V3_WIFI pin 2 and ground. The WLAN radio per-

formance may be significantly degraded if ground Pins

44-54 near the antenna are not connected to a solid

ground.

The VDD_3V3 and VDD_3V3_WIFI power supply pins

must be connected together as shown in Figure 10.

Operation using ZentriOS

Each AMW004 module is pre-installed with and licensed to use ZentriOS, Zentri’s feature-rich and reliable Wi-Fi net-

working application. The module can be used either with an external host microcontroller via the serial interface

command API, or via a Native API app running on the internal microcontroller.

For more details see https://docs.zentri.com/zentrios.

When using the command API, the module requires a connection to a UART serial interface. A host processor con-

nects to pins 23/24 as shown in Figure 11 if the default UART1 serial interface is used. Use of the hardware flow con-

trol RTS/CTS pins is optional (but recommended) for baud rates below 1 Mbit/s. The default UART settings are

115200 8N1 (8 data bits, No parity and 1 stop bit).

7.1 United States

The Zentri AMW004 module has received Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecommu-

nications, Part 15 Sub-part C “Intentional Radiators”

modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212 Mod-

ular Transmitter approval. Modular approval allows the

end user to integrate the AMW004 module into a fin-

ished product without obtaining subsequent and sepa-

rate 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 ap-

plicable FCC equipment authorization, regulations, re-

quirements, 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., trans-

mitter modules may also contain digital logic functions)

as appropriate.

Labeling and User Information

Requirements

The AMW004 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 out-

side of the finished product into which the module is

installed must also display a label referring to the en-

closed module. This exterior label can use wording as

follows:

Contains FCC ID: 2ABPY-61F8D

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,

and (2) this device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause un-

desired operation.

The user manual for the product should include the fol-

lowing statement:

Additional information on labeling and user information

requirements for Part 15 devices can be found in KDB

Publication 784748 available at the FCC Office of Engi-

neering and Technology (OET) Laboratory Division

Knowledge Database (KDB).

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 assis-

tance 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 Com-

mission (FCC). The bulletin offers guidelines and sugges-

tions 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 CAU-

TION statement in manuals and OEM products to alert

users of FCC RF exposure compliance:

If the AMW004 module is used in a portable application

(i.e., the antenna is less than 20 cm from persons dur-

ing operation), the integrator is responsible for per-

forming Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing in ac-

cordance with FCC rules 2.1091.

Approved Antenna Types

Modular approval testing of the AMW004 was per-

formed with the antenna types listed in Table 12 - Certi-

fied 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 radia-

tion patterns and the antenna gain must be similar to

those tested.
