General Description

ADS-MWx06-109R AMWx06 Datasheet Page |1

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.

7.1 United States

The Zentri AMW006 module has received Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47

Telecommunications, Part 15 Sub-part C “Intentional

Radiators” modular approval in accordance with Part

15.212 Modular Transmitter approval. Modular

approval allows the end user to integrate the AMW006

module into a finished product without obtaining

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:

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,

and (2) this device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

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.

7.1.4 Further Information
