te: The profile shown is based on SAC 305 solder (3% silver, 0.5%

copper). We recommend the ALPHA OM-338 lead-free solder paste. This
profile is provided mainly for guidance. The total dwell time depends on the
thermal mass of the assembled board and the sensitivity of the components
on it.

2.5: Baking Instructions
The RS9110-N-11-02 package is moisture sensitive and devices must be
handled appropriately. After the devices are removed from their vacuum
sealed packs, they should be taken through reflow for board assembly within
168 hours at room conditions, or stored at under 10% relative humidity. If
these conditions are not met, the devices must be baked before reflow. The
recommended baking time is nine hours at 125° C.

tes:
• Some interfaces are not used in the default configuration or mode of
operation. These include the I2C, GPIO, and UART interfaces. These may
be used in custom applications with appropriate firmware. These are all
fundamentally Inout signals and may be configured either as input or
output.
• JTAG functionality is not included in default firmware.
• The Bluetooth coexistence interface (BT_PRIORITY, WLAN_ACTIVE,
BT_ACTIVE) are also general purpose I/O signals and may be
reprogrammed to be inputs or outputs as needed. Please refer to BT
coexistence application note for more details.
• Sleep clock input:
This should be a 32 kHz clock and is used in power-save modes, if
chosen. During the low power sleep state, the module's wake-up
timer uses the sleep clock - which can have one of three sources
i) an internal 32 kHz oscillator
This is the recommended mode of operation.
ii) a 32 kHz clock fed into this pin,
iii) a 32 kHz crystal connected to pins SLEEP_CLK_X2 and
SLEEP_CLK_X1.
NOTE: The recommended mode of operation is i).
This is a firmware configured GPIO pin and where not used, should be
left open.
By default, an internal 32KHz oscillator is used.
• Please refer to the Module Integration Guide document for reference
schematics and the list of recommended part numbers.
• Please contact Redpine for application notes or for customization of a
solution.

4.2: SPI Interface
4.
The SPI Interface is a full duplex serial host interface, which supports 8-bit and 32bit data granularity. It also supports gated mode of SPI clock and both the low and
the high frequency modes. Incase of low frequency host, the data is driven on the
falling edge and sampled on the rising edge and hence, it should be ensured that a
valid data is present on the bus at the immediate rising edge after the SPI chip select
is driven low. For high frequency transmission the data is driven as well as sampled
on rising edge.
This interface has the interrupt pin along with the regular signals clock, chip select,
data in and data out. Device interrupts the host processor regarding the packet
pending event through this interrupt pin. This is an active high signal, and this will
get cleared only after clearing the source of the interrupt, i.e. reading the pending
packet from device. This will be generally connected to a GPIO pin of host platform
and GPIO has to be configured for detecting interrupt on level high, and interrupt
from this GPIO has to be mapped to driver ISR.
The SPI Slave supports mode 0 (SPI_POL=0, SPI_PHA=0) and mode 3 (SPI_POL=1,
SPI_PHA=1).

4.3: Reset Timing
4.
Following diagram shows the timing requirement for reset_n input in two
scenarios. If external power supply (instead of 2.8V coming out of the
module) is used for reference clock crystal oscillator, it has to be taken
care that oscillator output is stable before releasing reset. When using
2.8V coming out of module as power supply for reference clock crystal
oscillator, maximum oscillator stabilization time after feeding power has
to be 10ms.

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
