1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
PInS WiFi module V1.0 is a PCB Wi-Fi module designed by Philips innovation services (PInS) and based
on the latest Cypress WiFI SoC. The design is based on an internal Philips study and is backwards
compatible with an already used Philips module called Philips YD (obsolete), Additional functionality is
added to optimize usability and a cost effective solution of adding connectivity to Philips products.
The design is aligned with Philips CDPP, PSSO, PInS, and multiple business and making fast and easy
integration possible.
See datasheet of CYW43903 WICED™™ IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n SoC with an Embedded Applications
Processor [1] for detailed specifications.
General description of the CYW43903 SoC that forms the bases of the module reference design:
The Cypress CYW43903 embedded wireless system-on-a-chip (SoC) is uniquely suited for Internet-ofThings applications. It is IEEE 802.11n compliant and provides full IEEE 802.11 b/g legacy compatibility with
enhanced performance. The device includes an ARM Cortex-based applications processor, a single stream
IEEE 802.11n MAC/baseband/radio, a power amplifier (PA), and a receive low-noise amplifier (LNA). It also
supports optional antenna diversity for improved RF performance in difficult environments. The CYW43903 is
an optimized SoC targeting embedded Internet-of-Things applications in the industrial and medical sensor,
home appliance markets. Using advanced design techniques and process technology to reduce active and
idle power, the device is designed for embedded applications that require minimal power consumption and a
compact size. The device includes a PMU for simplifying system power topology and allows for direct
operation from a battery while maximizing battery life.

2 Applications
The PInS Wi-Fi reference design / platform is intended to be used inside Philips to enable connected
propositions and maximize the re-use with Philips and CDPP connectivity platforms. The application
supported are all Philips products including medical class products. The module is designed to be nonblocking for medical product integration (all tests and documentation are available). The module itself is not a
medical device as such.
