4 Electrical description

The power supply circuitry and board layout are a very important part in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product overall performances, hence read carefully the requirements and the guidelines that will follow for a proper design.

4.1 Power supply

Powering of the module:

• wide range voltage operation from 3.4V up to 4.2V (typical voltage 3.8V) the same as for GE863-PRO

The above voltage range is chosen in order to use the same voltage range for the Wi-Fi module WE865-DUAL and the GE863-PRO

4.1.1 Unique supply voltage for WE865-DUAL and GE863-PRO3

In order to get the suitable voltage range valid for both WE865-DUAL and GE863-PRO need to be connected as described below.

NOTE: continuous receive and transmit mode measures were taken at channel 6.

4.1.1.2 Shut-down mode

In order to minimize the current consumption it is possible to completely shut-down the WE865-DUAL. That is achieved by acting on the relevant signal outside the module, which directly acts on the power device enable/Shut-down signals. The shut-down is achievable by driving low both the EN_B* (ball D1) and EN_A* (ball B1) signals, to be connected together. As EN_B* (ball D1) and EN_A* (ball B1) are internally connected to pull-up, do not drive these signals during normal operation.

4.2 Power supply design guidelines

The power supply circuitry is a very important part in the full product design and it strongly affects the product overall performances, hence read carefully the requirements and the guidelines that will follow for a proper design. The table below shows the WE865-DUAL operating voltage range:

VOLTAGE RANGE

Nominal Supply Voltage 3.8V

Minimum Supply Voltage 3.4V

Max Supply Voltage 4.2V

4.2.1 +5V input source

A linear regulator can be used to generate the 3.8V output voltage. When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink shall be provided in order to dissipate the generated power. A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the WE865-DUAL from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode as for spike protection.

The figure below shows a possible solution for the switching power supply. It must be taken into account that the power supply performance strongly depends on the layout design.

Figure 5

WE865-DUAL HW User Guide

1vv0300787 Rev. 1 - 03/10/08

4.2.2 +12V input source

Due to the big difference between the input source and the desired output voltage, a linear voltage regulator is not suited and not recommended. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better efficiency especially in presence of peak current load. When using a switching regulator, 500 kHz switching frequency (or more) is preferable because of its smaller inductor size and its faster transient response. This allows the regulator to respond quickly to any current peak absorption. A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the WE865-DUAL from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode as for spike protection.

The figure below shows a possible solution for the switching power supply. It must be taken into consideration that the switching power supply performances strongly depend on the layout design.

4.2.3 Battery source

The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage allowed is 4.2V, thus a single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supplying the power to the WE865-DUAL module.

Please refer to GE863-PRO and battery usage.

A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the WE865-DUAL from power polarity inversion. Otherwise the battery connector should be done in a way to avoid polarity inversions when connecting the battery. When integrating the GE863-PRO take into account that battery charger control circuitry is embedded inside the GE863-PRO refer to GE863-PRO

Hardware User Guide for more details) and can be used with Li-ION batteries only. Using other type of batteries, an external charger will be needed. The battery capacity should be suitable chosen dependently on the customer’s application current consumption and the battery life requirements. When integrating the GE863-PRO DUAL modules together in the user application, the battery capacity must be at least 800mAh in order to withstand any current peak (please refer to GE863-PRO

electrical design guidelines for further information regarding type

with the WE865-DUAL modules together in the user application,

4.3 Reset signals

The WE865-DUAL has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit inside, so no specific reset is required in the initialization phase. Two signals are available to reset the module:

• an active high host reset (RESET)

• an active low manual reset (MR_RESET*)

In addition to the active high RESET signal issued by the host system (GE863-PRO can be integrated in the customer application.

Even if it is not mandatory to drive the available reset lines in the module, it is recommended to employ those signals to prevent critical situations.

When resetting during normal operation, after the release of the reset the module is unconditionally shut down, without doing any detach operation from the network where it is associated.

6 PCB layout design guidelines

In case of implementing the input power supply circuitry as described in the previous §4.2.2, the PCB traces connecting the switching out possible. It is recommended to place the inductor and the diode very close to the power switching IC. This is done in order to reduce the radiated field (noise) of the switching frequency (100-500 kHz usually).

The use of a good common ground plane is generally suggested. The placement of the power supply on the board should be done in such a way to guarantee that the high current return paths in the ground plane are not overlapped to any noise sensitive lines. The power supply input cables should be kept separate from noise sensitive lines.

7 Antenna

The antenna connection and board layout design are the most important part in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product overall performances, hence read carefully and follow the requirements and the guidelines for a proper design.

7.1 Wi-Fi antenna guidelines

General guidelines for an antenna and antenna line on PCB for a Telit WE865-DUAL device

ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS

Frequency range [MHz] 2400-2500 Gain [dBi] ≤ 2 Impedance [Ohm] 50 Maximum Input Power [mW] >100 VSWR recommended ≤2

Table 12

Frequency range indicated in order to support 14 Wi-Fi channels. Smaller ranges are allowed or requested for application over 11 or 13 channels.

Please refer to IEEE specifications and to the proper regulatory body directives about 802.11 channels and antenna specifications in different countries.

When using the Telit WE865-DUAL, since there's no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to the WE865-DUAL through the PCB with the antenna pad.

Please consider that antenna design and choice is dependent on the specific application.

This transmission line shall fulfill the following requirements:

Table 13

WE865-DUAL HW User Guide

1vv0300787 Rev. 1 - 03/10/08

7.2 Wi-Fi antenna PCB trace guidelines

• Ensure that the antenna line impedance is 50 ohm.

• Keep the antenna line on the PCB as short as possible in order to limit losses.

• Antenna line must have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid meanders

and abrupt curves.

• Keep, if possible, one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane.

• Surround (on the sides, over and under) the antenna line on PCB with Ground, avoid

having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line track.

• The ground around the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the Ground Plane by placing vias once per 2mm at least.

• Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from WE865-DUAL antenna line.

• Keep the antenna line far away from the WE865-DUAL power supply lines.

• If you have EM noisy devices around the PCB hosting the WE865-DUAL, such as fast

switching ICs, take care of the shielding of the antenna line by burying it inside the layers of PCB and surround it with Ground planes, or shield it with a metal frame cover.

• If you don't have EM noisy devices around the PCB of WE865-DUAL, by using a strip-line on the superficial copper layer for the antenna line, the line attenuation will be lower than a buried one.

WE865-DUAL HW User Guide

1vv0300787 Rev. 1 - 03/10/08

7.3 Wi-Fi antenna installation guidelines

• Install the antenna in a place covered by the Wi-Fi signal.

• The antenna must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm

from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

• Antenna shall not be installed inside metal cases.

• Antenna shall be installed also according Antenna manufacturer instructions.

the power supply inputs of the GSM engine and the ARM processor part have been kept separate, VBATT is the input for the GSM part, VBATT2 is the input for ARM. It is possible to connect together the two power inputs since they have compatible ranges, but if it is desired the two power supplies can be kept separate. If keeping separated VBATT and VBATT2 is the chosen solution, the WE865-DUAL 3.8V power balls (VCC_A) should be connected to the same voltage source feeding VBATT2.

10 Mounting the WE865-DUAL on the

application board

The Telit WE865-DUAL module has been designed in order to be compliant with a standard lead-free SMT process.

10.1 Stencil

Stencil’s apertures layout can be the same of the recommended footprint (1:1), we suggest a thickness of stencil foil ≥ 120μm.

10.2 PCB pad design

"Non solder mask defined” (NSMD) type is recommended for the solder pads on the PCB.
