Warning: Some customers may want Linx radio frequency (“RF”)

products to control machinery or devices remotely, including machinery or devices that can cause death, bodily injuries, and/or property damage if improperly or inadvertently triggered, particularly in industrial settings or other applications implicating life-safety concerns (“Life and Property Safety Situations”).

NO OEM LINX REMOTE CONTROL OR FUNCTION MODULE SHOULD EVER BE USED IN LIFE AND PROPERTY SAFETY SITUATIONS. No OEM Linx Remote Control or Function Module

should be modiﬁed for Life and Property Safety Situations. Such modiﬁcation cannot provide sufﬁcient safety and will void the product’s regulatory certiﬁcation and warranty.

Customers may use our (non-Function) Modules, Antenna and Connectors as part of other systems in Life Safety Situations, but only with necessary and industry appropriate redundancies and in compliance with applicable safety standards, including without limitation, ANSI and NFPA standards. It is solely the responsibility of any Linx customer who uses one or more of these products to incorporate appropriate redundancies and safety standards for the Life and Property Safety Situation application.

Do not use this or any Linx product to trigger an action directly from the data line or RSSI lines without a protocol or encoder/ decoder to validate the data. Without validation, any signal from

another unrelated transmitter in the environment received by the module could inadvertently trigger the action.

All RF products are susceptible to RF interference that can prevent communication. RF products without frequency agility or hopping

implemented are more subject to interference. This module does have a frequency hopping protocol built in, but the developer should still be aware of the risk of interference.

Do not use any Linx product over the limits in this data guide. Excessive voltage or extended operation at the maximum voltage could cause product failure. Exceeding the reﬂow temperature proﬁle could cause product failure which is not immediately evident.

Do not make any physical or electrical modiﬁcations to any Linx product. This will void the warranty and regulatory and UL certiﬁcations

and may cause product failure which is not immediately evident.

Description

The HumPRCTM Series is the most complete system to integrate bi-directional remote control into many different applications. No programming is required and both module and ﬁnished hardware options are available, making it the easiest solution to implement.

The module provides long-range transmission at 868MHz and 900MHz for multi-region operation, utilizing frequency hopping and industry-standard encryption for secure and robust communications. The HumPRCTM Series interoperates with Linx’s HumPROTM family, making it the only remote control solution that simultaneously supports data applications for seamless integration with sensor and control IoT applications.

The evaluation module contains the surface mount HumPRCTM Series transceiver module on a board with through-hole headers. This small board simpliﬁes prototyping with the HumPRCTM Series module, allowing it to be integrated into a host PCB without requiring any soldering.

There are three versions of the evaluation module, populated with the three versions of the HumPRCTM Series module. The standard version has the standard module and an MMCX connector for use with the Master Development System. The “-CAS” version has an edge-mount RP-SMA connector for the antenna. The “-UFL” version uses the module’s on-board U.FL connector for the antenna.

Pin Descriptions

Pin Number Name I/O Description

1 ANTENNA — 50-ohm RF Antenna Port

2, 3, 4, 5, 6 GND — Ground

7 MODE_IND O

Mode Indicator. This line indicates module activity. It can source enough current to drive a small LED, causing it to ﬂash. The duration of the ﬂashes indicates the module’s current state.

8 RESET

This line resets the module when pulled low. It should be pulled high for normal operation.

9 CMD_DATA_IN I

Command Data In. Input line for the serial interface commands. If serial control is not used, this line should be tied to supply to minimize current consumption.

10 POWER_DOWN I

Power Down. Pulling this line low places the module into a low-power state. The module is not functional in this state. Pull high for normal operation. Do not leave ﬂoating.

11 LATCH_EN I

If this line is high, then the status line outputs are latched (a received command to activate a status line toggles the output state). If low, then the output lines are momentary (active for as long as a valid signal is received).

Pin Descriptions

Pin Number Name I/O Description

12, 18,

22–37, 47-56

NC —

No Electrical Connection. Do not connect any traces to these lines.

13 ACK_EN I

Pull this line high to enable the module to send an acknowledgement message after a valid control message has been received.

14 PAIR

A high on this line initiates the Pair process, which causes two units to accept each other’s transmissions. It is also used with a special sequence to reset the module to factory default conﬁguration.

15 CMD_DATA_OUT O

Command Data Out. Output line for data and serial commands

16 LNA_EN O

Low Noise Ampliﬁer Enable. This line is driven high when receiving. It is intended to activate an optional external LNA.

17 VCC — Supply Voltage

19 C0 I

This line sets the input/output direction for status lines S0-S3. When low, the lines are outputs; when high they are inputs.

20 PA_EN O

Power Ampliﬁer Enable. This line is driven high when transmitting. It is intended to activate an optional external power ampliﬁer.

21 C1 I

This line sets the input/output direction for status lines S4-S7. When low, the lines are outputs; when high they are inputs.

38–45 S0–S7

I/O

Status Lines. Each line can be conﬁgured as either an input to register button or contact closures or as an output to control application circuitry.

46 ACK_OUT O

This line goes high when the module receives an acknowledgement message from another module after sending a control message.

1. These lines have an internal 20kΩ pull-down resistor

2. These lines have an internal 10kΩ pull-up resistor

Schematic

Pad Layout

Figure 8 shows the recommended PCB layout for the evaluation module.

Power Supply Requirements

The module does not have an internal voltage regulator, therefore it requires a clean, well-regulated power source. The power supply noise should be less than 20mV. Power supply noise can signiﬁcantly affect the module’s performance, so providing a clean power supply for the module should be a high priority during design.

A 10Ω resistor in series with the supply followed by a 10μF tantalum capacitor from Vcc to ground helps in cases where the quality of supply power is poor. This ﬁlter should be placed close to the module’s supply lines. These values may need to be adjusted depending on the noise present on the supply line.
