WiMOD iM980A Introduction
1. Introduction
The iM980A is a compact, low power, bidirectional radio module for the 915 MHz
frequency band using Semtech’s LoRaTM modulation technology. The module provides
ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst
minimising current consumption. Using the iM980A in an application minimizes the need
for an expensive and time-consuming RF development. Fast time to market is possible with
this pre-qualified module.

WiMOD iM980A Module Overview
2. Module Overview
The iM980A is an ultra-long range, high-performance, pre-certified module for wireless
communication. It operates in the license free 915 MHz ISM frequency band and includes
all necessary passive components for wireless communication as depicted in the following
figure.
Figure 2-1: Block Diagram of Radio Module iM980A
The iM980A uses Semtech’s patented LoRa modulation technique which combines spread
spectrum modulation and forward error correction techniques to increase the range and
robustness of radio communication links compared with traditional FSK or OOK based
modulation. Typically examples of iM980A receive performances are given in the following
table.
Table 2-1: Typically Radio Performance of iM980A
This high sensitivity combined with the integrated power amplifier yields industry leading
link budget.
The module is solderable like a SMD component and can easily be mounted on a simple
carrier board with a minimum of required external connections. It is RoHS compliant and
qualified in accordance to FCC Part 15.

WiMOD iM980A LoRa Modulation Technique
3. LoRa Modulation Technique
The iM980A uses Semtech’s LoRa proprietary spread spectrum modulation technique. This
modulation, in contrast to conventional modulation techniques, permits an increase in link
budget and increased immunity to in-band interference. It achieves sensitivities 8 dB better
than FSK modulation.
LoRa also provides significant advantages in both blocking and selectivity, solving the
traditional design compromise between range, interference immunity and energy
consumption.
3.1 Channel Frequencies
The iM980A uses the following channel set up specified by LoRaWAN [2]:
Uplink (Tx) – 64 channels numbered 0 to 63 utilizing LoRa 125 kHz BW varying
from DR0 to DR3, using coding rate 4/5, starting at 902.3 MHz and incrementing
linearly by 200 kHz to 914.9 MHz
Uplink (Tx) – 8 channels numbered 64 to 71 utilizing LoRa 500 kHz BW at DR4
starting at 903.0 MHz and incrementing linearly by 1.6 MHz to 914.2 MHz
Downlink (Rx) – 8 channels numbered 0 to 7 utilizing LoRa 500 kHz BW at DR8 to
DR13) starting at 923.3 MHz and incrementing linearly by 600 kHz to 927.5 MHz
3.2 Data Rates and Spreading Factors
The iM980A uses the following data rates and spreading factors specified by LoRaWAN

WiMOD iM980A Module Interface Characteristics
6. Module Interface Characteristics
6.1 Programming Interface
For programming the module with special firmware versions, there are two types of
interfaces supported: A SWD-interface, which require a special programmer, as well as a
bootloader-interface, for updating the modules firmware via UART-interface.
Note: The module offers some IOs that are connected to the JTAG On-chip Debug
system. Currently this interface is unavailable1.
Currently there is a silicon limitation for the MCU of the module. For more information please see:
http://www.st.com/resource/en/errata_sheet/dm00097022.pdf (ES0224, V7.0, chapter 2.1.2)

WiMOD iM980A Integration Guide
7. Integration Guide
The iM980A provides 32 connectors as described in Chapter 5. For integrating the
iM980A into an environment, a typically circuit as given in Chapter 7.1 can be used.
While designing the PCB Layout, the recommendations of Chapter 7.2 should be applied,
as well as the recommendation for soldering in Chapter 7.3.

Note: Disregarding this recommendation can affect the RF performance

WiMOD iM980A Integration Guide
7.2 PCB Design Recommendation
The Top Layer of the carrier board should be kept free of Tracks and Vias under the
iM980A because there are some test pads on the bottom side of the module which are not
covered by solder resist.
All GND pads of the module should be connected via low impedance path to GND.
The iM980A's RF interface is already matched to 50 By using an adequate
50 antenna, no additional matching components are required1. For an ideal signal
transmission between the modules RF pad and the antenna, the transmission line should
be as short as possible and represent an impedance of 50 .
This impedance depends on frequency and PCB structure. It is recommended to use a
grounded coplanar waveguide (CPWG) structure, to reduce effects of electromagnetic
fields. The impedance of transmission line for grounded CPWG is basically affected by
height H and material of the substrate, gap G between transmission line and ground on
the top layer, as well as width W and thickness T of the transmission lines (Figure 7-2).
Figure 7-2: Structure of a grounded CPWG
In other case a special matching network is required
