Revision History
1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the pioneer of the IEEE 802.11ah WIFI solder down module — AW-HM610. The AW-HM610 is the smallest IEEE 802.11ah Wi-Fi module that operates in the Sub 1GHz license-exempt band, offering longer ranger and higher data rate for internet of things (IoT) applications. The AW-HM610 supports 1/2/4 MHz channel bandwidth which yields 150 Kbps to 15 Mbps PHY rate that can handle low-rate sensors to high-rate surveillance camera applications. The self-contained Wi-Fi networking with huge range of data throughput offers the ideal solution to add Wi-Fi connectivity to IoT products with low power consumption requirements.
The AW-HM610 integrated Newracom NRC7394 which is a complete radio front-end that is optimized for Sub 1 GHz band. It has a fully integrated PA and fractional-N synthesizer. An embedded Cortex-M3 ARM® processor in the NRC7394 offers enough processing power to accommodate Wi- Fi subsystem as well as user application in a single Wi-Fi SoC. NRC7394 also includes two host interfaces, HSPI and UART, and rich peripherals such as general SPI, I2C, UART, PWM, auxiliary ADC, and GPIOs. The low-leakage retention memory inside NRC7394 can be used to store code and data necessary for fast wake-up from deep-sleep mode.

3.4.1 Power on sequence
The figure below shows the module power on sequence. The start of the POR circuit in the PMS block and BUCK oscillator are triggered by VBAT when the level exceeds a predefined voltage level. The main 32 MHz crystal oscillator starts to run when the internal power supply is stable. The PMS_PoR (active low) is de-asserted after a pre-defined settling time for stable crystal oscillation to ensure reliable SoC operation. PMS_PoR is open-drain circuit with internal pull-up resistor and connected with external RSTn pin. When the PMS_PoR releases RSTn pin to HIGH, the power-on sequence is completed and the SoC can control the entire system after the internal 25usec reset time.

FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
ISED Statement
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference.

5. Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
This module has been approved under stand-alone configuration.
The separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to Part 2.1093/RSS-102 and different antenna configurations
The information on how to configure test modes for host product evaluation for different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, versus with multiple, simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host can be found at KDB Publication 996369 D04. OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC/ISED authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC/IC No. cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC/ISED authorization.
