RS9110-N-11-02 Evaluation Board User Guide Version 1.41 1: Introduction The RS9110-N-11-02 evaluation board provides a complete IEEE 802.11bgn Wireless LAN evaluation platform. This basically has the RS9110-N-02 802.11bgn WLAN module mounted on it along with few other supporting components such as 40 Mhz reference oscillator and few other passives. The RS9110-N-11-02 is a high-performance, low-power WLAN module. The board connects to a host processor through SDIO or SPI interfaces.
RS9110-N-11-02 Evaluation Board User Guide Version 1.41 Figure 2: RS9110-N-11-02 Evaluation Board and Connectors A probe point (Jumper PB9) is provided in order to measure the total power consumed by the RS9110-N-11-02 WLAN Module during transmit, receive, and standby modes. On board resistors are provided for the Mode Select, which helps the user to switch from the SDIO host interface to SPI host interface.
