This equipment has to be 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 of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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.
This device is intended only for OEM Integrators. The OEM integrator should be aware of the
following important considerations.
Labeling of the End Product
The label on the end product incorporating the PremierWave 2050 module must clearly state
that it contains an FCC-approved RF module. Canada and Japan also require a similar
statement.
For example, “This product contains RF transmitter ID # (put FCC, IC, CMIIT, and/or Japan
module grant numbers here).” The label must include the ID numbers for the regions where
the end product is installed. The grant numbers are below.
♦

RSS-GEN Sections 7.1.4 and 7.1.5 Statement for Devices with
Detachable Antennas
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in the Certificate, and
having a maximum gain of 5.5 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater
than 5.5 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device, unless system level approval is
gained. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be
so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
required for successful communication.

Integration Notes
This module is authorized under limited module approval specific to mobile host equipment.
The antenna must be installed with a 20 cm space maintained between the antenna and users.
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end product for any additional
compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device
emission, PC peripheral requirements, etc.)
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations,
general purpose PCMCIA or similar cards, or co-location with another transmitter) and
obtaining a separate FCC authorization will be required, then the FCC authorization is no
longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product (including the
transmitter).
Changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by Lantronix will void the user's
authority to operate this device.
Note: With the purchase of any PremierWave 2050 family product, the OEM agrees to an
OEM firmware license agreement that grants the OEM a non-exclusive, royalty-free
firmware license to use and distribute the binary firmware image provided, only to the

Signal Descriptions
The PremierWave 2050 module has a serial interface compatible with data rates up to 921,600
bps. All of the logic IO pins are 3.3V tolerant. The serial signals usually connect to an internal
device, such as a UART. For applications requiring an external cable running with RS-232 or
RS422/485 voltage levels, the PremierWave 2050 must interface to a serial transceiver chip.
An on-module 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC and PHY are included on the module. For
connection to an external Ethernet network, external magnetics and an RJ45 are required.
The module has options for an on-module chip antenna and an external antenna via an onmodule U.FL connection.

Note: The PCB strip antenna is available from Ethertronics with or without adhesive tape backing
for mounting to a plastic case. The antennas Lantronix supplies include an adhesive backing. For
the component without tape backing a non-conductive double sided adhesive tape can be used to
fix the antenna in place. The Ethertronics part numbers listed above come with a 50 mm U.FL
cable attached to the PCB strip antenna. The 50 mm cable length is the minimum allowed cable
length for use with the PremierWave 2050 module. For similar PCB strip antennas with longer
cables consult with Ethertronics (www.ethertronics.com).
Lantronix provides a U.FL to Reverse SMA antenna cable in with the evaluation board and
sample kits for development work. These cables can be purchased from Lantronix for production
or supplied by an RF cable manufacturer. External antennas can be purchased from an antenna
vendor. Components for cable design should be selected for low loss over the entire 2.4 GHz to
5.9 GHz signal range. The cable target impedance should be 50 ohms.

Antenna Placement
When designing the PremierWave 2050 module to a mating board, it is important to consider
the final installation of the module and its location with respect to connecting access points.
The antenna should be placed so that it has as clear as possible path to the connecting access
point for maximum range. Avoid placing the antenna such that it is blocked by metal walls or
ground planes of adjacent circuit boards.
When using the on board chip antenna it is recommended to place the module such that the
antenna region is along the edge of the board or extending outward from the edge of the
board. The area under the chip antenna region should be voided of all signals and planes
See the figure images below showing recommended placement with the module chip antenna.

Serial Interface
The PremierWave 2050 modules has two external serial interfaces. The signal levels on the
serial interface are 3.3V tolerant. The serial interfaces require an external transceiver in order
to connect to external RS232, RS485, or RS422 networks. The signals of the Serial Ports may
be connected as shown in the reference schematic below. The transceiver shown in the
reference schematic is of type Exar, part number SP336. This transceiver is a multiprotocol
RS232, RS485, RS422 transceiver. Single protocol transceivers may be used as required.
The PremierWave 2050 interface may also be directly connected to the UART interface of an
external CPU.

Note: The IO pins for PremierWave 2050 module are set to floating input on power up until
configured by unit firmware. An external 100K ohm pull-up may be required on the serial transmit
signal to prevent downstream UART devices from detecting false characters on initial power up.
Ethernet Interface
The unit provides a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface for connection to an external network
through external magnetics and an external RJ45. The figure below shows the Ethernet
connections to a 10/100 Ethernet RJ45 Jack with Magnetics, J5 in the figure. The RJ45
Magnetic Jack is Belfuse part number 08B0-1D1T-06-F.
The Ethernet differential pair signals, ERXM/ERXP and ETXM/ETXP should be routed as 100ohm differential pairs on a layer next to the signal ground plane. The use of vias on these
signals should be minimized. Center tap signals RXCT and TXCT should be routed with at
least 20 mil trace thickness. The area underneath the RJ45 magnetic jack should be void of all
signals and planes. The connector shield should be connected to chassis. It is recommended
that 1206 resistor pads from chassis ground to signal ground be placed next to each of the
shield tabs. The resistor pads allow for 0 ohm jumper, ferrite beads, or decoupling caps to be
installed as needed for EMI/EMC improvement.
The Ethernet LED signals should be routed to discrete LEDs or to the LED pins on the RJ45
through 220 ohm or larger resistors. The LED signals are active low.
Also shown in the figure is an optional active choke that can be used to improve ESD, EFT,
and EMI/EMC performance in harsh environments. The device is shown as U22 in the figure
and is Akros part number AS1602. This device features route through pin assignments
allowing for the Ethernet differential signal pairs to be routed without altering the trace
impedance or adding vias. Due to this routing the device could be installed or depopulated as
needed. Lantronix has performed all certification to FCC Class B without U22 populated.
The Ethernet signals may be left disconnected if unused.
See the Lantronix app note, How to Connect a Lantronix Embedded Module to a Wired
Ethernet Port for more details on Ethernet connection and routing,

USB Device Port
The PremierWave 2050 module has one USB 2.0 device port interface for connection to an
upstream USB device. The port consists of a differential pair, signals DDP and DDM. These
signals should be routed as a 90 ohm differential pair on a signal layer next to the signal
ground plane. The use of vias should be minimized on these signals. The USB signals can be
connected to a USB Mini Type B USB port or directly to an IC with a USB host port. If
connecting to an external port that is user accessible it is recommended to add a TVS diode
array to the signal nets for ESD protection. The ESD array shown in the figure is of type
SEMTECH RCIamp0502A. This device features through pin routing to minimize trace
impedance changes and simplify routing. The footprint for the TVS array can be added to the
PCB and the part can be depopulated if it is not needed. It is recommended that the power
drawn off the USB Mini Type B connector be limited to less than 500 mA per USB
requirements. If the USB device port is unused the DDP and DDM pins may be left
disconnected.

USB Host Port
The PremierWave 2050 module has two USB 2.0 host port interfaces for connection to
downstream USB devices. Each port consists of a differential pair. Port USB 2 is a high
speed port and port USB 3 is a full speed port. These signals should be routed as 90 ohm
differential pairs on a signal layer next to the signal ground plane. The use of vias should be
minimized on these signals. The USB signals can be connected to a USB type A dual USB
port as shown in the figure below or directly to an IC with a USB device port. If connecting to
an external port that is user accessible it is recommended to add a TVS diode array to the
signal nets for ESD protection. The ESD array shown in the figure is of type NXP, IP4234CZ6.
If connecting to an off board device that needs power add a USB power switch to current limit
the 5V power connection at the connector. USB requires that each port be limited to 500 mA
maximum sustained current. If using the USB host ports the end system must take into
account the amount of power consumed by the PremierWave 2050 module and each USB
device connected to the host ports. The schematic below shows how to connect 5V to a USB
host connector using an ST, STMPS2151 power distribution switch. The USB host port 5V
power is not provided by the PremierWave 2050 module. If the USB host ports are unused
their pins may be left disconnected.

Reset Pins
PremierWave 2050 modules have two signals for use as reset signals. Signal EXT_RESET#
is a hardware controlled input signal that will reboot the PremierWave 2050 processor when
asserted low. Signal DEFAULT# is polled by the PremierWave 2050 software. When
DEFAULT# is asserted low for six seconds, the unit will reset the system to the default
manufacturing settings and reboot the unit. PremierWave 2050 has an additional signal that
can be used to wake up the unit processor when the unit is in a sleep or power down state.
The SHDN signal is active when the module is in the shutdown state. Use the SHDN signal to
gate off external logic when the module is in the shutdown state to minimize power

The module recommended footprint is shown below. The antenna region should ideally be
placed on the edge of the board. The area under the antenna region should be void of all
signals and planes. The antenna location inside of the end unit and installation should be
chosen such that the antenna has as clear as possible line of site to the connecting WLAN
devices. The antenna path should be as clear as possible from metal, ground and power
planes from adjacent PCBs and other objects that can interfere with the signal path to the
connecting WLAN devices.

3: PCB Footprint and Module Dimensions
Figure 3-2 PremierWave 2050 Recommended Footprint
The pads on the PremierWave 2050 module are pre-bumped with solder. Lantronix
recommends using non-solder-mask defined pads (NSMD). Lantronix recommends using
ENIG finish for the PremierWave 2050 module pads.
The internal ground pads are used for module signal ground and thermal relief. The outer
layers should be flooded with ground and the ground pads should have many vias to the
internal ground layers.
Soldering coverage should be maximized and checked via x-ray for proper design. There is a
trade-off between providing enough soldering for conductivity and applying too much, which
allows the module to “float” on the pads creating reliability issues. Lantronix recommends 80%
or more full contact solder coverage on each of the internal ground pads after reflow.
PremierWave® 2050 Enterprise Wi-Fi® IoT Module Integration Guide
29
3: PCB Footprint and Module Dimensions
Note: The recommended stencil thickness is 4-5 mil. The stencil aperture should not
exceed the size of the pad. Solder volume must be controlled. It is recommended that
the aperture be set to 1:0.8 of the pad size. For example, the 0.8x0.6 mm pad would use
a 0.64x0.48 mm stencil. Thicker stencils will require further reduction in stencil aperture.
First article and routine inspection of the printing quality is necessary to ensure high yield.
At a minimum, visually inspect the unit utilizing a magnifier with 10x magnification;
otherwise inspection with a solder paste inspection (SPI) machine is preferred. Lantronix
recommends a final standoff height after reflow of 75 to 100 um.
Reflow Profile Guideline
The reflow profile is dependent on many factors including flux selection, solder composition,
and the capability of the user's reflow equipment.
Lantronix does not recommend a specific reflow profile but provides the following general
guidelines:
♦
The solder composition typically sets the peak temperatures of the profile.
♦
Lantronix recommends lead free solder pastes SAC305: Type 4. Water soluble or noclean solder pastes are acceptable.
♦
Reflow equipment is needed at nine heater zones at minimum. Lantronix recommends a
forced air type reflow oven with nitrogen.
♦
Lantronix recommends that the peak temperature at the solder joint be within 235°C ~
245°C, and the maximum component temperature should not exceed 260°C.
♦
Lantronix recommends that the solder joint heating time above 217°C last between 40-90
seconds, and at a minimum of 40 seconds.
♦
Excessive ramp/cooling rates (>3°C/s) should be avoided.
♦
To develop the reflow profile, Lantronix recommends that the user place thermocouples
at various locations on the assembly to confirm that all locations meet the profile
requirements. The critical locations are the module solder joints.
♦
When developing the reflow profile, Lantronix recommends that a fully loaded assembly
be used to assure that the total thermal mass is accounted for.
