It not only sets a new benchmark for flexibility and ease-of-use but also combines the performance and energy efficiency of an ARM Cortex-M0+ based MCU with an optimized architecture and peripheral set. The Atmel | SMART SAM D gives you a truly differentiated general-purpose microcontroller that is ideal for many low-power, cost-sensitive industrial, and consumer applications. 5.1.1 Host MCU Description A rich set of peripherals, flexibility, and ease-of-use combined with low power consumption make the Atmel SAM D21 ideal for a wide range of home automation, consumer, metering, and industrial applications. 5.1.2 ARM Cortex-M0+ based MCU running up to 48MHz 256KB embedded Flash and 32KB SRAM DMA and Event system Six flexible serial communication modules (SERCOM) Full-speed USB device and embedded Host 12-bit ADC (SAM D21G: 14 channels); 10-bit DAC Hardware touch support Host MCU Key Features Low power consumption, down to 70A/MHz Enhanced Analog Performance - ADC with offset and gain correction - Averaging, oversampling, and decimation 5.2 - Flexible DAC - New low-power internal oscillators - 2% accuracy over operating range Digital Innovations - - Programmable Event System Enhanced TC for Control Applications - Programmable SERCOM module - I2C / SPI / USART / LIN2 / IrDA - Full Speed USB Device and Host - No external components needed - 6-12 channel DMA with CRC module - PTC Hardware touch module - I2S module with PDM support Wi-Fi Core Processor ATWINC1500B has a Cortus APS3 32-bit processor. This processor performs many of the MAC functions, including but not limited to association, authentication, power management, security key management, and MSDU aggregation/de-aggregation. In addition, the processor provides flexibility for various modes of operation, such as STA and AP modes. ATSAMW25-MR210PB IEEE 802.11 b/g/n SmartConnect Wi-Fi Module [DATASHEET] Atmel-42618B-SmartConnect-ATSAMW25-MR210PB_Datasheet_05/2016 11 5.2.1 Memory Subsystem The APS3 core uses a 128KB instruction/boot ROM along with a 128KB instruction RAM and a 64KB data RAM. ATWINC1500B also has 8Mb of flash memory, which can be used for system software. In addition, the device uses a 128KB shared RAM, accessible by the processor and MAC, which allows the APS3 core to perform various data management tasks on the TX and RX data packets. 5.2.2 Non-volatile Memory (eFuse) ATWINC1500B has 768 bits of non-volatile eFuse memory that can be read by the CPU after device reset. This non-volatile one-time-programmable (OTP) memory can be used to store customer-specific parameters, such as MAC address; various calibration information, such as TX power, crystal frequency offset, etc.; and other software-specific configuration parameters. The eFuse is partitioned into six 128-bit banks. Each bank has the same bit map, which is shown in Figure 5-1. The purpose of the first 80 bits in each bank is fixed, and the remaining 48 bits are general-purpose software dependent bits, or reserved for future use. Since each bank can be programmed independently, this allows for several updates of the device parameters following the initial programming, e.g. updating MAC address. Refer to ATWINC1500B Programming Guide for the eFuse programming instructions. Flags 8 Bank 0 F 48 MAC Addr TX Gain Correcti on 8 G 1 15 Freq.

The following two subsections describe the MAC and PHY in detail. 6.1 MAC 6.1.1 Features The ATWINC1500B IEEE802.11 MAC supports the following functions: IEEE 802.11b/g/n IEEE 802.11e WMM(R) QoS EDCA/PCF multiple access categories traffic scheduling Advanced IEEE 802.11n features: - Transmission and reception of aggregated MPDUs (A-MPDU) - Transmission and reception of aggregated MSDUs (A-MSDU) - Immediate Block Acknowledgement - Reduced Interframe Spacing (RIFS) Support for IEEE802.11i and WFA security with key management - WEP 64/128 - WPA-TKIP - 128-bit WPA2 CCMP (AES) Support for WAPI security Advanced power management - - 6.1.2 Standard 802.11 Power Save Mode Wi-Fi Alliance WMM-PS (U-APSD) RTS-CTS and CTS-self support Supports either STA or AP mode in the infrastructure basic service set mode Supports independent basic service set (IBSS) Description The ATWINC1500B MAC is designed to operate at low power while providing high data throughput. The IEEE 802.11 MAC functions are implemented with a combination of dedicated data path engines, hardwired control logic, and a low-power, high-efficiency microprocessor. The combination of dedicated logic with a programmable processor provides optimal power efficiency and real-time response while providing the flexibility to accommodate evolving standards and future feature enhancements. Dedicated data path engines are used to implement data path functions with heavy computational. For example, an FCS engine checks the CRC of the transmitting and receiving packets, and a cipher engine performs all the required encryption and decryption operations for the WEP, WPA-TKIP, WPA2 CCMP-AES, and WAPI security requirements. Control functions, which have real-time requirements, are implemented using hardwired control logic modules. These logic modules offer real-time response while maintaining configurability via the processor. Examples of hardwired control logic modules are the channel access control module (implements EDCA/HCCA, Beacon TX control, inter-frame spacing, etc.), protocol timer module (responsible for the Network Access Vector, back-off timing, timing synchronization function, and slot management), MPDU handling module, aggregation/deaggregation module, block ACK controller (implements the protocol requirements for burst block communication), and TX/RX control FSMs (coordinate data movement between PHY-MAC interface, cipher engine, and the DMA interface to the TX/RX FIFOs).o The MAC functions implemented solely in software on the microprocessor have the following characteristics: Functions with high memory requirements or complex data structures. Examples are association table management and power save queuing.

Examples are authentication and association. Functions which need flexibility and upgradeability. Examples are beacon frame processing and QoS scheduling. 6.2 PHY 6.2.1 Features The ATWINC1500B IEEE802.11 PHY supports the following functions: Single antenna 1x1 stream in 20MHz channels Supports IEEE 802.11b DSSS-CCK modulation: 1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps Supports IEEE 802.11g OFDM modulation: 6, 9, 12,18, 24, 36, 48, and 54Mbps Supports IEEE 802.11n HT modulations MCS0-7, 20MHz, 800 and 400ns guard interval: 6.5, 7.2, 13.0, 14.4, 19.5, 21.7, 26.0, 28.9, 39.0, 43.3, 52.0, 57.8, 58.5, 65.0, and 72.2Mbps IEEE 802.11n mixed mode operation 6.2.2 Per packet TX power control Advanced channel estimation/equalization, automatic gain control, CCA, carrier/symbol recovery, and frame detection Description The ATWINC1500B WLAN PHY is designed to achieve reliable and power-efficient physical layer communication specified by IEEE 802.11 b/g/n in single stream mode with 20MHz bandwidth. Advanced algorithms have been employed to achieve maximum throughput in a real world communication environment with impairments and interference. The PHY implements all the required functions such as FFT, filtering, FEC (Viterbi decoder), frequency and timing acquisition and tracking, channel estimation and equalization, carrier sensing, and clear channel assessment, as well as the automatic gain control. 6.3 Radio 6.3.1 Receiver Performance Radio performance under typical conditions: VBAT = 3.3V; VDDIO = 3.3V; Temp.: 25C @ RF pins Table 6-1.

Connections for the ATSAMW25 The basic power supply connections for the ATSAMW25 module are shown in Figure 10-1. The test points shown (TP1 - TP6) should be added in case Atmel is required to debug the design. The Wi-Fi chip can use its own internal oscillator for a Real Time Clock (RTC) or it can use an external 32.768KHz clock provided on the RTC pin. Using an external clock derived from a crystal oscillator can be used as a more accurate sleep timer for the Wi-Fi chip than its own internal oscillator. This in turn can reduce sleep current. If power consumption during sleep is a priority then a 32.768KHz crystal can be added to the SAM D21 module as shown in the reference design. The design shown above displays a connection from pin 15 (PA22) to pin 5 (GPIO_1). GPIO_1 is the input pin for the Wi-Fi's Real Time Clock. PA22 can be configured to output a 32.768KHz RTC clock - derived from the 32.768KHz crystal - to be used as the source for the Wi-Fi's RTC. If cost is a priority versus power consumption, then the 32.768KHz crystal can be left off of the design and the PA22 - GPIO_1 connection can be deleted.

There should be nothing under the portion of the module which contains the antenna. This means the antenna should not be placed directly on top of the motherboard PCB. This can be accomplished by, for example, placing the module at the edge of the board such that the module edge with the antenna extends beyond the main board edge by 6.5mm. Alternatively, a cutout in the motherboard can be provided under the antenna. The cutout should be at least 22 x 6.5mm. Ground vias spaced 2.5mm apart should be placed all around the perimeter of the cutout. No large components should be placed near the antenna. Keep away from antenna, as far as possible, large metal objects to avoid electromagnetic field blocking Do not enclose the antenna within a metal shield Keep any components which may radiate noise or signals within the 2.4 - 2.5GHz frequency band far away from the antenna, or better yet, shield those components. Any noise radiated from the main board in this frequency band will degrade the sensitivity of the module. The main board should have a solid ground plane. Each ground pin of the module (including each of the center ground pads) should have a via placed either in the pad or right next to the pad going down to the ground plane. 22 Place a 10F decoupling capacitor from VBAT to ground right next to pin 7. Place another 10F capacitor from VCC to ground right next to pin 21.
