AP6398XU Evaluation Board Introduction

AP6398XU Evaluation board (EVB) likes as figure1. That is designed for IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n 2×2 WLAN with integrated Bluetooth and FM application. It is subject to providing a convenient environment for customer verification on WiFi or Bluetooth function. There are many controller pins and reserved GPIO on the Evaluation board which describes below.

Interface highlights:

1. U1: AP6398XU SIP module.
2. J1: UART interface connects with UART transport board for BT measuring.
3. J2: Enable(H) or disable(L) Bluetooth and WiFi function.
4. J6: VBAT / WL_VIO / BT_VIO for main system I/O power path.
5. J7: 5V DC mini USB input connector.
6. J8: Standard SDIO interfaces for Wi-Fi performance measured.
7. J11: WL_VIO power path for 1V8 or 3V3 selection.
8. Ct1: WLAN and BT control pins, strongly recommended WL_HWAKE(IRQ) connected to MCU…

WiFi function verification step (Dipole antenna)

WIFI SDIO: Using external pull-up resistors depends on the SDIO supply voltage. For 1.8V, the resistance range is 30KΩ~82KΩ. For 3.3V, its ranges from 21 KΩ~41 KΩ on the four data lines and the CMD line as the following circuitry.

Hardware Setup:

•  Refer to Figure2 SDIO pin definition connects the J8 interface of the AP6XXX evaluation board to the Host SDIO control interface.
• Using pull high resistors (R6, R7, R10, R28, R29) that resistance is 30Kohm for 1.8V or 3.3V VDDIO pull-up voltage. (Pull high resistors are unnecessary if in the verification phase.)
• Connects an external antenna at the SMA connector on the evaluation board.
• Note to the VDDIO voltage level should be the same as a GPIO voltage level of the Host CPU. (VDDIO 3.3V or 1.8V selection by jump J11)

WiFi software setup:
Please follow up on software guidelines for Ampak’s official release.

Bluetooth function verification step

Hardware Setup:

• Refer to Figure3 UART pin definition connects the J1 interface of the AP6359S evaluation board to Host the UART control interface.
• Connects an external antenna at the SMA connector on the evaluation board.
• Note to the VDDIO voltage level should be the same as the GPIO voltage level of the Host CPU.

WiFi and Bluetooth software setup:
Please follow up on software guidelines for Ampak’s official release.

FCC Statement:

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.

NOTE: 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.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and a human body.

ISED Statement:
For Canada, the “compliance statement and unlicensed device usage conditions” which must be shown in the user manual have changed.
It should now read like this:
This device contains license-exempt transmitter(s) that comply with Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada’s license-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1.  this device may not cause interference,
2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Label requirements (Module )
If the identification number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module, Contains FCC ID:
ZQ6-AP6398XU, Contains ISED ID: 11956A-AP6398XU.
Other
Co-location of this module with other transmitters that operate simultaneously is required to be evaluated using the multi-transmitter procedures.
The host integrator must follow the integration instructions provided in this document and ensure that the composite-system end product complies with the requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation of the rules and to KDB Publication 996369.
The host integrator installing this module into their product must ensure that the final composite product complies with the requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation of the rules, including the transmitter operation, and should refer to the guidance in KDB 996369.
