The AMW006 module from ACKme Networks combines
a microcontroller with a BCM43362 Wi-Fi device to
provide an advanced stand-alone Wi-Fi and networking
solution.
An integrated module avoids difficult RF layout and enables designers to rapidly embed Wi-Fi and secure networking functionality into virtually any device.
The ACKme Networks WiConnect 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 Broadcom 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 operating at a frequency up
to 84MHz providing 1.25 DMIPS/MHz. An extensive
range of enhanced I/Os and peripherals are also available.
The AMW006 module offers extensive I/O and peripheral interfaces listed below, and provides additional
interface combinations by leveraging multiplexing and
alternate function capabilities.
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, and CE approval for use
in Europe and other countries.
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

ADS-MW006-102R • Preliminary Data Sheet April 1, 2015
When designing a carrier board, the addition of ground
fill directly underneath the AMW006 module, rather
than signal or power traces, is recommended. If traces
must be routed directly beneath the module, avoid
routing directly underneath keepout areas. 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.

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 nontransmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e.
Verification, or Declaration of Conformity) (e.g., transmitter modules may also contain digital logic functions)
as appropriate.
