LILY-W1 series - Data Sheet 1.5 Supported features Wi-Fi Standards IEEE 802.11b/g/n Integrated high effective antenna or antenna pin Equipped with a LTE coexistence BAW filter (only LILY-W132) Extended operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C Selectable 1.8 V or 3.3 V IO levels RF tuned from factory Contains dual MAC addresses Station and micro access point operation (up to 8 clients) 802.
LILY-W1 series - Data Sheet 1.7 MAC addresses The LILY-W1 module series has two unique consecutive MAC addresses reserved for each module, from which the first address is stored in the configuration memory during production. The first address is available in the Data Matrix on the label (see chapter 9). The second consecutive MAC address is not stored in the configuration memory but is reserved for usage with the module.
LILY-W1 series - Data Sheet 2 Interfaces 2.1 Host interfaces The module has two high speed host interfaces: USB (default): USB 2.0 device interface with LPM support SDIO: SDIO 2.0 device interface Only one interface should be used in an application and the interface is selected by the USB/SDIO-n signal. 2.1.1 USB interface USB is the default interface; USB/SDIO-n signal has an internal pull-up and need not be connected while using the USB interface as mentioned in Pin definition section.
LILY-W1 series - Data Sheet 2.2 Antenna interfaces The LILY-W1 series supports either an internal antenna (LILY-W132) or external antennas connected through an antenna pin (LILY-W131). 2.2.1 Internal antenna The LILY-W132 has an internal (embedded) 2.4 GHz PIFA antenna. The internal antenna is a PIFA antenna specifically designed and optimized for the LILY form factor. Keep a minimum clearance of 5 mm between the antenna and the casing.
LILY-W1 series - Data Sheet 2.3 Power supply interfaces The power for LILY-W1 series modules is supplied through VCC and VCC_IO pins by DC voltage. The system power supply circuit must be able to support peak power (add 20% as margin over listed type current consumption), as during operation, the current drawn from VCC and VCC_IO can vary significantly based on the power consumption profile of the Wi-Fi technology. The separate VCC_IO pin enables integration of the module in either a 1.8 V or 3.
