Version History

Product overview

The XW71N WiFi module is a complete BLE5.1+ WiFi network solution that can operate independently or as a slave to other host MCUs. The module can be booted directly from the built-in Flash when equipped with external applications and acting as the only application processor in the device; it also contains a low-power ARMCM4 MCU, 1T1R WLAN, up to 120MHz, built-in 256K SRAM, 2Mbyte flash and rich peripheral resources.
The XW71N WiFi module supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n protocol standard, BLE5.1, supports lightweight TCP/IP protocol stacks, and supports STA, AP, AP+STA modes. Users can use the module to add networking capabilities to existing devices or build stand-alone network controllers.
Provide customers with complete hardware and software reference programs to shorten your product development cycle and save costs for you.

Hardware design

Minimal system

XW71N-WIFI module minimum system diagram

Explain:

1. The module does not need additional components, only need to supply the module to work normally, the supply voltage is recommended 3.3V, the supply current is greater than 500mA;GPIOMaximum drive current is 8mA
2. 1-pin RST, low active, there is a 10K pull-up resistor inside the module, which requires external MCU IO control
3. The module’s UART1 is connected to the external MCU’s TXD, and the module’s TXD is connected to the RXD of the external MCU
4. Module online upgrade, just connect the UART2 port, and then pull the RST down more than 15ms and then release it, or it can be reset by software

Antenna clearance area

XW71N needs to be soldered on the PCB board, in order to obtain the best RF performance, as shown in the following figure, the PCB on-board antenna below, there can be no copper, devices, traces, PCB design needs to be the corresponding area for headroom treatment.
