The THEO-P173 module uses the USB interface for firmware loading (booting) and high speed data transfer (> 200 Mbps). The USB interface of the module is powered with 3.3 V supply voltage. The module acts as a device on the USB bus. See THEO-P173 System Integration Manual [2] for more information about the USB interface. 2.2 SPI interface The THEO-P173 does not support an SPI interface for booting and data transfer. Contact u-blox support for your area, as listed in the Contact section for more information.

Internally, depending upon the version of module, there may be a flash memory on this bus. Direction of these lines may be swapped on some versions of the module depending upon customer requirements. Always check your modules’ model and version with the THEO-P173 System Integration Manual [2]. 5 This line is optionally a SPI CS line. In other cases, it may be used as a GPIO. Please check the model number against HW documentation for information on how to use this pin in your application. 6 The USB interface is only between the module and host processor for short impedance controlled traces. The data and VBUS signals should be applied to these pins only when the module has power applied otherwise damage may occur. 7 This input, as with all inputs, should not be driven in to the device when the power is not supplied to the module. Otherwise damage will occur. Contact u-blox support for your area for further information.

These are stress ratings only. Operating the module at these or at any conditions other than those specified in the Operating conditions section of this document should be avoided. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Operating condition ranges define those limits within which the functionality of the device is guaranteed.

THEO-P173 transceiver modules are RoHS compliant. 7.1.1 FCC compliance The THEO-P173 module 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. Non authorized modification could void authority to use this equipment. The internal / external antenna(s) used for this module must provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 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 manufacturer’s instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. The outside of final product that contains the THEO-P173 module must display in a user accessible area a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XPYTHEOP173” or “Contains FCC ID: XPYTHEOP173”. 7.2 FCC ID Model name FCC ID THEO-P173 XPYTHEOP173 Table 13: FCC ID for THEO-P173 UBX-15023940 - R02 Advance Information Qualification and approvals Page 19 of 25 THEO-P173 - Data Sheet 8 Product handling 8.1 Packaging The THEO-P173 modules are delivered on trays. For more information about packaging, see the u-blox Package Information Guide [1]. 8.2 Shipment, storage and handling For more information regarding shipment, storage and handling see the u-blox Package Information Guide [1]. 8.2.1 Moisture sensitivity levels The THEO-P173 modules are Moisture Sensitive Devices (MSD) in accordance with the IPC/JEDEC specification. The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) relates to the required packaging and handling precautions. The THEO-P173 modules are rated at moisture sensitivity level 4. See the u-blox Package Information Guide [1] for more information regarding moisture sensitivity levels, labeling, and storage. For MSL standard, see IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, which can be downloaded from www.jedec.org. 8.2.2 Mounting process and soldering recommendations The castellated edges of the THEO-P173 module shall be individually soldered to the host board. A visual inspection after reflow should allow for immediate confirmation whether the solder was successful. Solder mask and reflow profiles are explained in the THEO-P173 System Integration Manual [2]. 8.2.3 ESD handling precautions THEO-P173 modules are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD). Observe precautions for handling! Failure to observe these precautions can result in severe damage to the Wi-Fi receiver! Wi-Fi transceivers are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) and require special precautions when handling. Particular care must be exercised when handling patch antennas, due to the risk of electrostatic charges. In addition to standard ESD safety practices, the following measures should be taken into account whenever handling the receiver: • Unless there is a galvanic coupling between the local GND (i.e. the work table) and the PCB GND, then the first point of contact when handling the PCB must always be between the local GND and PCB GND. • Before mounting an antenna patch, connect ground of the device. • When handling the RF pin, do not come into contact with any charged capacitors and be careful when contacting materials that can develop charges (e.g. patch antenna ~10 pF, coax cable ~50-80 pF/m, soldering iron, …) • To prevent electrostatic discharge through the RF input, do not touch any exposed antenna area. If there is any risk that such exposed antenna area is touched in non ESD protected work area, implement proper ESD protection measures in the design. • When soldering RF connectors and patch antennas to the receiver’s RF pin, make sure to use an ESD safe soldering iron (tip).
