The BT_EN is the main power enable pin including the WIFI_EN. All supplies should be
stable for a minimum of 10 μs before BT_EN is de-asserted (i.e, greater than VIL for
VIO). If VIO = 3.3V, then VDD_BLE, VDD_WLAN, and VIO shares the same 3.3V power

6.4 Wi-Fi Antenna Requirements
Special care must be taken during the design of the RF section on the application board.
PRELIMINAR
CAUTION! : If The below recommendation is strictly not followed then RF performance
degradation and infringements of emission limits will occur
A 50Ω antenna is required with Telit’s WE866E4-P module interface features an SMA
connector for an external antenna, alternatively a chip or a printed antenna can be used.
If an integrated or printed antenna is used, it is recommended to place it at the edge of the
application board. Since the antenna impedance is required to be tuned to 50Ω.
It is recommended to foresee a PI matching network between the WE866E4-P module and
the antenna during first prototyping. If not, a series 0Ω-resistor can be used, leaving the two
shunt components unpopulated.
To meet Telit’s FCC certification standard, the antenna on the application board should
have a gain value equal/less then the one recommended by Telit.

6.4.1 PCB Design Guidelines
The WE866E4-P module provides a 50Ω antenna pad, which is routed to the antenna
connector (or the integrated antenna) by means of a transmission line.
It is important that the impedance of this line is controlled to 50Ω. The line should be as
short as possible with a constant cross section and without abrupt curves. It is isolated from
any other noise sources and cross overs from other lines in adjacent layers. Instead, a
continuous ground plane is recommended under the antenna trace and a ground via curtain
should connect to the coplanar ground planes.
An example of implementation - the details of the antenna trace on the WE866E4-P
interface board is as described:
A Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (G-CPW) line has been chosen, since this kind of
transmission line ensures good impedance control and can be implemented in an outer PCB
layer as required in this case. A SMA female connector has been used to feed the line.
The interface board is realized on a FR4, 4-layers PCB. Substrate material is characterized
by relative permittivity εr = 4.6 ± 0.4 @ 1 GHz, TanD= 0.019 ÷ 0.026 @ 1 GHz.
A characteristic impedance of nearly 50 Ω is achieved using trace width of 1.1 mm,
clearance from coplanar ground plane = 0.3 mm each side. The line uses reference ground
plane on layer 3, while copper is removed from layer 2 underneath the line. Height of the
trace above ground plane is 1.335 mm. Calculated characteristic impedance is 51.6 Ω,
estimated line loss is less than 0.1 dB.

The PCB must be able to resist higher temperatures which occurs at the lead-free process.
This issue should be discussed with the PCB supplier. Generally, the wettability of tin-lead
solder paste on the described surface plating is better compared to lead-free solder paste.
It is not necessary to panel the application PCB, however it is suggested to use milled
contours and pre-drilled board breakouts. Scoring or v-cut solutions are not recommended.
