Particle's Internet of Things hardware development kit, the Photon, provides everything you need to build a connected product. Particle combines a powerful
ARM Cortex M3 micro-controller with a Broadcom Wi-Fi chip in a tiny thumbnail-sized module called the PØ (P-zero).
To get you started quickly, Particle adds a rock solid 3.3VDC SMPS power supply, RF and user interface components to the PØ on a small single-sided PCB
called the Photon. The design is open source, so when you're ready to integrate the Photon into your product, you can.
The Photon comes in two physical forms: with headers and without. Prototyping is easy with headers as the Photon plugs directly into standard breadboards and
perfboards, and may also be mounted with 0.1" pitch female headers on a PCB. To minimize space required, the Photon form factor without headers has
castellated edges. These make it possible to surface mount the Photon directly onto your PCB.

OVERVIEW
FEATURES
Interfaces
BLOCK DIAGRAM
Power to the Photon is supplied via the on-board USB Micro B connector or directly via the VIN pin. If power is supplied directly to the VIN pin, the voltage should
be regulated between 3.6VDC and 5.5VDC. When the Photon is powered via the USB port, VIN will output a voltage of approximately 4.8VDC due to a reverse
polarity protection series schottky diode between V+ of USB and VIN. When used as an output, the max load on VIN is 1A.
Typical current consumption is 80mA with a 5V input. Deep sleep quiescent current is 160uA. When powering the Photon from the USB connector, make sure to
use a quality cable to minimize IR drops (current x resistance = voltage) in the wiring. If a high resistance cable (i.e., low current) is used, peak currents drawn from
POWER
the Photon when transmitting and receiving will result in voltage sag at the input which may cause a system brown out or intermittent operation. Likewise, the
power source should be sufficient enough to source 1A of current to be on the safe side.
The RF section of the Photon is a finely tuned impedance controlled network of components that optimize the efficiency and sensitivity of the Wi-Fi
communications.
An RF feed line runs from the PØ module into a SPDT RF-switch. Logic level control lines on the PØ module select which of the two ports of the RF-switch is
connected to the RF feed line. A 100pF decoupling capacitor is located on each control line. One port is connected to a PCB ceramic chip antenna, and the other
is connected to a u.FL connector for external antenna adaptation. The default port will be set to the chip antenna.
Additionally, a user API is available to switch between internal, external and even an automatic mode which continuously switches between each antenna and
selects the best signal. All three RF ports on the RF-switch have a 10pF RF quality DC-blocking capacitor in series with them. These effectively pass 2.4GHz
frequencies freely while blocking unwanted DC voltages from damaging the RF-switch. All RF traces are considered as tiny transmission lines that have a
controlled 50 ohm impedance.
The chip antenna is impedance matched to the 50 ohm RF feed line via a Pi network comprised of three RF inductors (1 series, 2 shunt). These values are quite
specific to the Photon due to the PCB construction and layout of the RF section. Even if the Photon's layout design is copied exactly, to achieve the best
performance it would be worth re-examining the Pi network values on actual samples of the PCB in question.

Notes:
FT = 5.0V tolerant pins. All pins except A3 and DAC are 5V tolerant (when not in analog mode). If used as a 5V input the pull-up/pull-down resistor must be
disabled.
3V3 = 3.3V max pins.
PWM is available on D0, D1, D2, D3, A4, A5, WKP, RX, TX with a caveat: PWM timer peripheral is duplicated on two pins (A5/D2) and (A4/D3) for 7 total
independent PWM outputs. For example: PWM may be used on A5 while D2 is used as a GPIO, or D2 as a PWM while A5 is used as an analog input. However
A5 and D2 cannot be used as independently controlled PWM outputs at the same time.
Pin D3 through D7 are JTAG interface pins. These can be used to reprogram your Photon bootloader or user firmware image with standard JTAG tools such as
the ST-Link v2, J-Link, R-Link, OLIMEX ARM-USB-TINI-H, and also the FTDI-based Particle JTAG Programmer.

The Photon supports coexistence with Bluetooth and other external radios via the three gold pads on the top side of the PCB near pin A3. These pads are 0.035"
square, spaced 0.049" apart. This spacing supports the possibility of tacking on a small 1.25mm - 1.27mm pitch 3-pin male header to make it somewhat easier
to interface with.
EXTERNAL COEXISTENCE INTERFACE
When two radios occupying the same frequency band are used in the same system, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a coexistence interface can be used to
coordinate transmit activity, to ensure optimal performance by arbitrating conflicts between the two radios.
Pad # PØ Pin Name PØ Pin # I/O Description
1 BTCX_RF_ACTIVE 9 I Signals Bluetooth is active
2 BTCX_STATUS 10 I Signals Bluetooth priority status and TX/RX direction
3 BTCX_TXCONF 11 O Output giving Bluetooth permission to TX
When these pads are programmed to be used as a Bluetooth coexistence interface, they're set as high impedance on power up and reset. Alternatively, they can
be individually programmed to be used as GPIOs through software control. They can also be programmed to have an internal pull-up or pull-down resistor.

PIN MARKINGS
Pin Description
VIN This pin can be used as an input or output. As an input, supply 3.6 to 5.5VDC to power the Photon. When the Photon is powered via the USB port, this pin will output a voltage of
approximately 4.8VDC due to a reverse polarity protection series schottky diode between VUSB and VIN. When used as an output, the max load on VIN is 1A.
RST Active-low reset input. On-board circuitry contains a 1k ohm pull-up resistor between RST and 3V3, and 0.1uF capacitor between RST and GND.
VBAT Supply to the internal RTC, backup registers and SRAM when 3V3 is not present (1.65 to 3.6VDC).
PIN DESCRIPTION
3V3 This pin is the output of the on-board regulator and is internally connected to the VDD of the WiFi module. When powering the Photon via VIN or the USB port, this pin will output a voltage
of 3.3VDC. This pin can also be used to power the Photon directly (max input 3.3VDC). When used as an output, the max load on 3V3 is 100mA. NOTE: When powering the Photon via this
pin, ensure power is disconnected from VIN and USB.
WKP Active-high wakeup pin, wakes the module from sleep/standby modes. When not used as a WAKEUP, this pin can also be used as a digital GPIO, ADC input or PWM.
D0~D7 Digital only GPIO pins.
A0~A7 12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) inputs (0-4095), and also digital GPIOs. A6and A7are code convenience mappings, which means pins are not actually labeled as such but you may use
code like analogRead(A7). A6maps to the DAC pin and A7maps to the WKP pin.
DAC 12-bit Digital-to-Analog (D/A) output (0-4095), and also a digital GPIO. DAC is used as DACor DAC1in software, and A3 is a second DAC output used as DAC2in software.
RX Primarily used as UART RX, but can also be used as a digital GPIO or PWM.
TX Primarily used as UART TX, but can also be used as a digital GPIO or PWM.

Product handling
PACKAGING
Photons without headers are also available in JEDEC style trays for automated pick and place machines. Request more details from us on this in the Contact
section below.
The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) relates to the packaging and handling precautions required. The PØ module on the Photons dominate the MSL requirements
and are rated level 3. In general, this precaution applies for Photons without headers. If reflowing a Photon directly onto an application PCB, increased moisture
levels prior to reflow can damage sensitive electronics on the Photon. A bake process to reduce moisture may be required.
MOISTURE SENSITIVITY LEVELS
For more information regarding moisture sensitivity levels, labeling, storage and drying see the MSL standard see IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 (can be downloaded
fromwww.jedec.org).
The photon contains highly sensitive electronic circuitry and is an Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD). Handling a photon without proper ESD protection may
destroy or damage it permanently. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any
application that incorporates photons. ESD precautions should be implemented on the application board where the photon is mounted. Failure to observe these
precautions can result in severe damage to the photon!
The Photon comes preprogrammed with a bootloader and a user application called Tinker. This application works with an iOS and Android app also named
Tinker that allows you to very easily toggle digital pins, take analog and digital readings and drive variable PWM outputs.
The bootloader allows you to easily update the user application via several different methods, USB, OTA, Serial Y-Modem, and also internally via the Factory
Reset procedure. All of these methods have multiple tools associated with them as well.
You may use the online Web IDEParticle Buildto code, compile and flash a user application OTA (Over The Air).Particle Devis a local tool that uses the Cloud to
compile and flash OTA as well. There is also a package Spark DFU-UTILfor Particle Dev that allows for Cloud compiling and local flashing via DFU over USB.
This requires dfu-utilto be installed on your system. 'dfu-util' can also be used withParticle CLIfor Cloud compiling and local flashing via the command line.
Finally the lowest level of development is available via theGNU GCC toolchain for ARM, which offers local compile and flash via dfu-util. This gives the user
complete control of all source code and flashing methods. This is an extensive list, however not exhaustive.
