It is operating in the Sub 1GHz license-exempt band, offering longer range and lower power connectivity necessary for internet of things (IoT) applications. It enables streamlined data transfer interoperability with existing Wi-Fi networks while meeting up to 1Km long range data transfer with low power onsumption requirements. It integrated Newracom NRC7394 and external RF front end module (FEM) which can increase transmission power up to 20 dBm.It outputs the accurate power for each channel through the temperature sensor integrated in the SoC and calibration at the factory. On-board serial flash can be used for user application program and OTA software update and store MAC address, calibration data and information. It also can support execution in place (XIP) feature with a 16KB internal cache memory 1.2 Features Standard Full IEEE 802.11ah compatibility with enhanced performance 1/2/4 MHz channel bandwidth, up to 15Mbps data rate WPA2/WPA3/WPS support AP and STA, mesh network support Support transmission of Standby Radio frame Main interface UART and SPI support for host interface Serial Flash (2Mbyte, optional 4Mbyte) for XIP Peripherals GPIO, AUXADC I2C, SPI and UART 3 Chapter 2 Hardware Specification 2.1 General Specifications Host Interfaces Form factor Chipset Network Standards SPI LGA module, 38ins Newracom/NRC7394-ST-Q1AS IEEE 802.11ah Modulation Techniques BPSK,QPSK,16QAM,64QAM Modulation Technology OFDM Supported Data Rate Network Architectures Antenna Type Operating Frequency MCS0~MCS7,MCS10 AP Client, Iot applications External Antenna 902~928 MHz Channel BandWidth Temperatures (AMBIENT) Humidity (non-condensing) OS Compatibility Manufacturer ID Product ID Dimension 1/2/4MHz Operating temperature -40 to 65 Storage temperature (Tape & Reel) -20 to 70 Operating Humidity: 20% to 90% RH Storage Humidity: less than 60% RH TBD TBD 18mm*13.5mm*2.1mm Weight TBD 4 2.2 Electronic Specification Supplied Voltage Tx @ 20 dBm Continuous Rx Deep Sleep mode Power consumption (VDD_IO=3.3V,VBAT=3.3V,VDD_FEM = 5.0V) VDD_IO 2 1.8 0.00009 VBAT 140 22 0.0035 VDD_FEM 303 0 0.038 Unit Note mA mA mA Note1: Condition at 25 Note2: TBD TX Mode Note3: TBD RX Mode 5 2.3 Radio Specification Condition: Temp=25 TX Output Power BW MCS Modulation/ Coding Rate Min Typical Max MCS10 BPSK1/2 rep.2x 16 18 20 MCS0 BPSK1/2 16 18 20 MCS1 BPSK3/4 16 18 20 MCS2 1M MCS3 16QAM1/2 16QAM3/4 16 18 20 16 18 20 MCS4 64QAM2/3 16 18 20 MCS5 64QAM3/4 16 18 20 MCS6 64QAM5/6 16 18 20 MCS7 64QAM3/4 16 18 20 MCS0 BPSK1/2 16 18 20 MCS1 BPSK3/4 16 18 20 MCS2 16QAM1/2 16 18 20 2M MCS3 MCS4 16QAM3/4 64QAM2/3 16 18 20 16 18 20 MCS5 64QAM3/4 16 18 20 MCS6 64QAM5/6 16 18 20 MCS7 64QAM3/4 16 18 20 MCS0 BPSK1/2 16 18 20 MCS1 BPSK3/4 16 18 20 MCS2 16QAM1/2 16 18 20 4M MCS3 MCS4 16QAM3/4 64QAM2/3 16 18 20 16 18 20 MCS5 64QAM3/4 16 18 20 MCS6 64QAM5/6 16 18 20 MCS7 64QAM3/4 16 18 20 Receive Sensitivity BW MCS Modulation/ Coding Rate 11ah spec dBm MCS10 BPSK1/2 rep.2x -98 MCS0 BPSK1/2 -95 1M MCS1 BPSK3/4 -92 MCS2 16QAM1/2 -90 MCS3 16QAM3/4 -87 MCS4 64QAM2/3 -83 Note Unit dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm dBm VDD_FEM 5.0V Note Unit dBm dBm dBm PER<10% 256bytes dBm dBm dBm 6 MCS5 MCS6 MCS7 MCS0 MCS1 MCS2 2M MCS3 MCS4 MCS5 MCS6 MCS7 MCS0 MCS1 MCS2 4M MCS3 MCS4 MCS5 MCS6 MCS7 64QAM3/4 64QAM5/6 64QAM3/4 BPSK1/2 BPSK3/4 16QAM1/2 16QAM3/4 64QAM2/3 64QAM3/4 64QAM5/6 64QAM3/4 BPSK1/2 BPSK3/4 16QAM1/2 16QAM3/4 64QAM2/3 64QAM3/4 64QAM5/6 64QAM3/4 -79 dBm -78 dBm -77 dBm -92 dBm -89 dBm -87 dBm -84 dBm -80 dBm -76 dBm -75 dBm -74 dBm -89 dBm -86 dBm -84 dBm -81 dBm -77 dBm -73 dBm -72 dBm -71 dBm 7 2.4 Pin Assignment for WAH0070-US Pin Name 1 NC 2 GPIO12 3 GPIO13 4 GPIO14 5 GPIO20 6 GPIO19 7 GPIO17 8 GPIO18 9 GPIO25 10 VDD_IO 11 GND 12 GPIO9 13 GPIO8 14 GND 15 VBAT 16 RST 17 GPIO28 BOT view Type Primary function I/O Do Not Connect I/O UART1_TXD I/O UART1_RXD I/O UART1_CTS I/O UART1_RTS I/O MODE I/O ADC0 I/O ADC1 I/O Power(1.68V~3.6V) VDD_IO Supply Power Ground I/O UART0_RXD I/O UART0_TXD Power Ground Power (2.4V~3.6V) VBAT Supply I PMS_POR I/O HSPI_CS Alternate & Other Function(s) TDO TDI 8 18 GPIO29 I/O HSPI_MISO 19 GPIO6 I/O HSPI_MOSI 20 GPIO7 I/O HSPI_CLK 21 GPIO30 I/O HSPI_EIR 22 GPIO10 I/O TMS SWD_IO 23 GPIO11 I/O TCK SWD_CLK 24 NC NC Do Not Connect 25 VDD_FEM Power(3.15V~5.2V) PA power Supply 26 GND Power Ground 27 NC I/O Do Not Connect 28 NC I/O Do Not Connect 29 GND Power Ground 30 RF_ANT Analog Antenna 31 GND Power Ground 32 GND Power Ground 33 GND Power Ground 34 GND Power Ground 35 GND Power Ground 36 GND Power Ground 37 GND Power Ground 38 GND Power Ground 9 Chapter 3 Mechanical Specifications 3.1 PCB Mechanical Drawing: 10 Chapter 4 Module Engineering Suggestions 4.1 Footprint Unitmm 11 Chapter 5 Module photo TOP BOT 12Microsoft: Print To PDF
