The following sample designs show the proper electrical connectivity of an ANT AP2 module to an application microcontroller, using TI MSP430F1232 as example. 1.3.1 Async Mode Notes:  Module RXD and TXD connected directly to hardware USART of microcontroller.  Switches on baud rate selection pins (BR1, BR2 and BR3) are for ease of use only. They can be connected directly to the logic level of interest.  RTS can be connected to an interrupt pin for conve nience in some applications. (Interrupt pins located on Port 1&2 on the MSP430F1232) dynastream.com thisisant.com AP2 RF Transceiver Module, Rev 1.8 9 of 23 1.3.2 Byte Sync Mode Notes:  Module SOUT, SIN, and SCLK connected directly to hardware USART of microcontroller. S E N needs to be on an interrupt capable I/O pin on the microcontroller. (Interrupt pins located on  Port 1&2 on the MSP430F1232) dynastream.com thisisant.com 10 of 23 AP2 RF Transceiver Module, Rev 1.8 1.3.3 Bit Sync Mode Notes:  All interface signals are connected directly to I/O pins on the microcontroller.  SCLK and S E N need to be on an interrupt capable I/O pin on the microcontroller. (Interrupt pins located on Port 1&2 on the MSP430F1232) 1.4 Mounting Guideline Refer to the recommended footprint drawing in section 4. It is best to position the AP2 module so that the copper keepout area is on the edge or over hanging the edge of the mating PCB. If the copper keepout layer is completely within the boundaries of the PCB, the ground plane should not fully surround the copper keepout. If this is not possible, the copper keepout should be made much larger to prevent RF degradation. The ground plane is recommended to extend to the full size of the mating PCB, with the exception of the copper keepout. To connect to M5IB type of AP2 module, the mating socket is Molex 52991-0208. 1.5 Reflow Guideline AP281M4IB module is rated at moisture sensitive level 2 (MSL=2). To handle and Use these modules, please follow the standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033B.1, “Handling, Packing, Shipping and Use of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface Mount Devices” . dynastream.com thisisant.com AP2 RF Transceiver Module, Rev 1.8 11 of 23 To reflow, it is recommended that the peak solder joint/pad temperatures NOT exceeding 240 ºC. If possible, pre-heat the assembly within the oven profile for ~30 seconds at ~150 ºC . Follow the solder paste manufacturer’s recommendations, especially regarding temperature ramp rate and the time above liquidus. 1.6 Pick-n-Place AP281M4IB module has the package option of 500 modules on a JEDEC standard 13” reel to facilitate machine pick and place. Please refer to section 4 for tape and reel dimensions. dynastream.com thisisant.com 12 of 23 2 AP2 RF Transceiver Module, Rev 1.8 Regulatory Approval The ANT AP2 module has received regulatory approvals in the United States (FCC), Canada (IC), Europe (ETSI), Japan (ARIB), Australia and New Zealand. Such approvals allow the user to place the module inside a finished product and, in usual case, not require regulatory testing for an intentional radiator, provided no changes or modifications are made to the module circuitry. This does not preclude the possibility that some other form of authorization or testing may be required for the finished product. Changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance. 2.1 United States The AP2 module has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B devices. Operation is subject to the following two (2) conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference and 2) This device must accept any interference received i ncluding interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. 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:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the re ceiver.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This product does not contain any user -serviceable parts. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and void your warranty and your a uthority to operate this device under Part 15 regulations. The AP2 module is labeled with its own FCC ID, O6R1695 (note: First Character is the letter O, not the # 0.) If the FCC ID 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. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: O6 R1695” or “Contains FCC ID: O6R1695”. Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. 2.2 Industry Canada Compliance This device complies with Industry Canada licence -exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cau se interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. (Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.) To comply with Industry Canada regulations, it is required that product containing the AP2 module display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording similar to the following: “Contains IC: 3797A-1695” This information shall be affixed in such a manner as not to be removable except by destruction or defacement. The size of the lettering shall be legible without the aid of magnification but is not required to be larger than 8-point font size.
