Airborne WLNN DP550 Family Databook B&B Electronics, Inc. 6.1 AC Electrical Characteristics – Transmitter Transmit power is automatically managed by the device for minimum power consumption. The MAXIMUM transmit power at the RF connector is typically +20dBm ± 2 dB for all bands (a/b/g/n) and rates. 6.2 Performance/Range The following table illustrates the typical data rates, performance and range that the device is capable of providing using an omni directional antenna.
Airborne DP550 Family Databook 7.0 B&B Electronics, Inc. SPI Interface The following section details the SPI interface specification for both hardware timing and SPI protocol. The device is a SPI slave and requires a compatible SPI master for operation. 7.1 Pin-out When the SPI interface is enabled, through the CLI or web interface, the following pins are assigned for communication.
Airborne WLNN DP550 Family Databook B&B Electronics, Inc. 7.2 SPI AC Characteristics The following specification identifies the required hardware timing to successfully implement a SPI interface with the Airborne Device Server module. Table 12 - SPI AC Timings Symbol Parameter Min fMAX Maximum Clock Frequency tCS SPI Select Low to Clock Rising Edge 100 ns tCH Clock High 62.5 ns tCL Clock Low 62.5 ns tDA Clock High to Data Out Max Units 8.
Airborne DP550 Family Databook 7.3 B&B Electronics, Inc. SPI Protocol A SPI message is composed of a 4 byte header followed by 0 or more bytes of data. The header data is full-duplex. That is, the TX message header is sent to the Airborne Device Server module by the host at the same time that the RX message header is sent to the host from the Airborne Device Server. The TX message header consists of a Command (CMD) byte, followed by three Parameter (PARM) bytes.
Airborne WLNN DP550 Family Databook B&B Electronics, Inc. 7.4 SPI Modes The Airborne device supports the following four SPI modes. These are selectable through the command line or web interfaces. The default mode is zero (0). Table 15 - SPI Modes 7.
Airborne DP550 Family Databook B&B Electronics, Inc. Command (Hex) Name Description 0x10 INTENA The INTENA command will configure the specific interrupts to be enabled from the module. For this command, the PARM1 field will define the interrupts to be enabled. The definition of the PARM1 field for this command is a bit-mask and is formatted as follows: Bit 7 Interrupt Sense – Determines the asserted state of the interrupt pin.
Airborne WLNN DP550 Family Databook B&B Electronics, Inc. Command (Hex) Name 0x40 TXDATA Description The TXDATA command is used to send data to the module to be interpreted as commands if the module is in CLI mode, or to be transmitted on the wireless link if the module has an active data connection established. The host may send at most the number of bytes indicated by the TX Buffer Available field in the RX Message Header.
Airborne DP550 Family Databook 8.0 B&B Electronics, Inc. Antenna The unit supports antenna connections through two Hirose U.FL connectors (ANT1 and ANT2). They are located on the top surface of the device next to the RF shielding. Antenna selection options are selectable through both the web and command line interfaces. Any antenna used with the system must be designed for operation within: the 2.4GHz ISM band and must specifically support 2.412GHz to 2.482GHz for 802.
Airborne WLNN DP550 Family Databook B&B Electronics, Inc. 8.3 Host Chassis Mounted Antenna Host Chassis mounted antennas require no work on the host PCB. They use an antenna type called ‘flying lead’. There are two types of flying leads. One provides a bulkhead mounted antenna connector and the other provides a bulk head mounted antenna. The type you choose will be determined by the application. A flying lead system connects a U.FL coaxial lead to the radio’s U.FL connector.
Airborne DP550 Family Databook B&B Electronics, Inc. Many suppliers can provide chip antennas; many configuration and performance options are available. Flying Lead – Embedded flying lead antennas are similar to external flying lead antennas. The difference is that the embedded antennas have smaller form factors and provide a range of chassis and board mounting options.
Airborne WLNN DP550 Family Databook B&B Electronics, Inc. can be defined as the available bandwidth between the two devices. The lower the link quality, the less likely it will be that the devices can communicate. Measurement of link quality can be made in several ways; Bit Error Rate (BER), Signal to Noise (SNR) ratio, Signal Strength and distortion. The link quality is used by the radio to determine the link rate.
Airborne DP550 Family Databook 9.0 B&B Electronics, Inc. RESET Function For correct operation of the on-board Power-on RESET (POR) and internal RESET controllers, the RESET pin on the WLNN-XX-DP550 family must obey the following timing and signal conditions.
