General Description
1 General Description
The AMW006 and AMW106 modules from Zentri
combine a microcontroller with a BCM43362 Wi-Fi
device to provide an advanced stand-alone Wi-Fi and
networking solution.
The term
AMWx06
refers to both modules.
An integrated module avoids difficult RF layout and
enables designers to rapidly embed Wi-Fi and secure
networking functionality into virtually any device.
The ZentriOS 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.
The AMW006/AMW106 microcontroller core operates
at a frequency up to 84/100MHz providing up to 125
DMIPS or 1.25 DMIPS/MHz (Dhrystone 2.1).
The AMW006 has 96KB of RAM.
The AMW106 has 128KB of RAM.
The AMWx06 module offers extensive I/O and
peripheral interfaces listed below, and provides
additional interface combinations by leveraging
multiplexing and alternate function capabilities.
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
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, CE approval for use in
Europe, TELEC/MIC approval for use in Japan and
related approvals for use in other countries.
