Power management
2.1.1
Module supply input (VCC)
The ODIN-W2 series modules must be supplied through the VCC pin by a DC power supply. Voltage must be
stable, because during operation the current drawn from VCC can vary significantly based on the power
consumption profile of the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi technologies.
2.1.2
Digital I/O interfaces supply output (V_INT)
The ODIN-W2 series modules provide a 1.8 V supply rail output on the V_INT pin, which is internally generated
when the module is powered on. The same voltage domain is used internally to supply the generic digital
interfaces of the modules. The V_INT supply output can be used instead of an external discrete regulator. See
the Electrical specification section for maximum output current.
2.2
Antenna interfaces
The following two different antenna options are available in the ODIN-W2 series:
•
ODIN-W260 equipped with dual U.FL. coaxial connectors for external antennas. Different types of
external antennas are available and can be used.
•
ODIN-W262 equipped with an integrated dual-band antenna
While mounting the unit, ensure that it does not interfere with radio communication. The ODIN-W262
equipped with an internal surface mounted antenna should not be mounted in a metal enclosure. No
metal casing or plastics using metal flakes should be used. Avoid metallic based paint or lacquer.
See
ODIN-W2 series System Integration Manual [2]
for information on the external antennas that can be used
and for other RF and antenna design advices.
2.2.1
Antenna connectors and internal antenna
The ODIN-W260 module has two RF antenna U.FL. coaxial connectors with a characteristic impedance of 50
Ω
.
The main antenna connector supports both Bluetooth and dual-band Wi-Fi. The second (MIMO) antenna
connector adds support for 2x2 MIMO 2.4 GHz single band Wi-Fi.
The ODIN-W262 module has an internal dual-band PIFA antenna and supports Bluetooth and dual-band Wi-Fi
(SISO).
