WAT3 User’s Manual 4. 4. WAT3 Peripherals and Capabilities WAT3 Peripherals and Capabilities The WAT3 Module provides 16 GPIO ports that are shared with alternate functions within the EM35X SoC. The alternate functions can be used on a variety of different GPIO. All GPIOs are configurable as input, output, or bi-directional and have an internal pull-up or pull-down. The WAT3 Module offers two serial controllers, a multi-channel 12-bit Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC), and two16-bit timers.

WAT3 User’s Manual 5. 5. Antenna Antenna The WAT3 Module includes an integrated PCB trace antenna. The PCB antenna employs a meandering F-antenna design that is very compact and supports omni-directional signal radiation. To maximize the antenna efficiency an adequate ground should be provided on the base board. The position of the module on the base board and overall design of the product enclosure contributes to the antenna’s performance.

WAT3 User’s Manual 6.3 6. Dimensions Keep-out Area For maximum antenna performance hang the antenna keep-out area over the edge of the base board. Placing a ground plane on the layer directly beneath the WAT3 Module will allow you to run traces under this area. The WAT3 board can be placed on a base board without antenna overhang as long as all copper is kept away from the antenna keep-out area.
WAT3 User’s Manual 7. 7. Certifications Certifications 7.1 FCC – United States The WAT3 Module complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission rules and regulations. To continue compliance with Part 15 the end user MUST include a visible label on the outside of the final product which indicates the internal radio module is FCC approved. The exterior label can use wording such as: “Contains FCC ID: V8NWAT1000153”. To meet the section 15.
WAT3 User’s Manual 8. 8. Processing Processing CAUTION: The WAT3 Module contains extremely sensitive electronic circuitry. Handle board with proper ESD protection at all times. 8.1 Reflow Soldering A convection soldering oven is recommended. Preheat the assembly at a rate of 3oC/sec and stop at a final temperature of 150-200oC. Limit time above solder paste liquid temperatures to 20-40 seconds, do not exceed 260oC. Allow the assembly to cool at a rate no greater than 6oC/sec.
WAT3 User’s Manual 8.6 9. References Module Rework The WAT3 Module can be unsoldered from the base board. Take care not to overheat the module. Never attempt to rework the module itself, any such attempts will invalidate any manufactures warranty and potentially cause the module to violate FCC and IC specifications. 8.7 Alterations Any and all alterations to the WAT3 Module are highly discouraged and are completed at the consumer’s risk.
