POSLAB ECON-Z83 USER MANUAL USER MANUAL 1. Introduction ECON-Z83 would like to announce a low-cost and low-power consumption module which has all of the WiFi, Bluetooth and FM functionalities. The highly integrated module makes the possibilities of web browsing, VoIP, Bluetooth headsets, FM radio functional applications and other applications. With seamless roaming capabilities and advanced security, also could interact with different vendors 802.11b/g/n Access Points in the wireless LAN. The wireless module complies with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n standard and it can achieve up to a speed of 72.2Mbps with single stream in 802.11n draft, 54Mbps as specified in IEEE 802.11g, or 11Mbps for IEEE 802.11b to connect to the wireless LAN. The integrated module provides SDIO interface for WiFi, UART / I2S / PCM interface for Bluetooth and UART / I2S / PCM interface for FM. This compact module is a total solution for a combination of WiFi + BT + FM technologies. The module is specifically developed for Smart phones and Portable devices. 2. Features 802.11b/g/n single-band radio Bluetooth V4.0(HS) with integrated Class 1.5 PA BT/WLAN receive with single antenna WLAN host interface options: - SDIO v2.0 up to 50 MHz clock rate BT host digital interface: - UART (up to options: I2S, PCM, eSCO, A2DP IEEE Co-existence technologies are integrated die solution ECI enhanced coexistence support, ability to coordinate BT SCO transmissions around WLAN receives A simplified block diagram of the module is depicted in the figure below.

It has the ability to stop the SDIO clock and map the interrupt signal into a GPIO pin. This out-of-band interrupt signal notifies the host when the WLAN device wants to turn on the SDIO interface. The ability to force the control of the gated clocks from within the WLAN chip is also provided. Function 0 Standard SDIO function (Max BlockSize / ByteCount = 32B) Function 1 Backplane Function to access the internal System On Chip (SOC) address space (Max BlockSize / ByteCount = 64B) Function 2 WLAN Function for efficient WLAN packet transfer through DMA (Max BlockSize/ByteCount=512B) 11. Host Interface Timing Diagram 11.1 Power-up Sequence Timing Diagram The module has signals that allow the host to control power consumption by enabling or disabling the Bluetooth, WLAN and internal regulator blocks. These signals are described below. Additionally, diagrams are provided to indicate proper sequencing of the signals for carious operating states. The timing value indicated are minimum required values: longer delays are also acceptable. WL_REG_ON: Used by the PMU to power up the WLAN section. When this pin is high, the regulators are enabled and the WLAN section is out of reset. When this pin is low the WLAN section is in reset. BT_RST_N: Low asserting reset for Bluetooth and FM only. This pin has no effect on WLAN and does not control any PMU functions. This pin must be driven high or low (not left floating).

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IMPORTANT NOTE:
Radiation Exposure Statement:
The product comply with the US portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Country Code selection feature to be disabled for products marketed to the US/CANADA Page. 17 USER MANUAL Integration instructions for host product manufacturers Applicable FCC rules to module FCC Part 15.247 Summarize the specific operational use conditions This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna 2) For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G band by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change. As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual. Limited module procedures Not applicable Trace antenna designs Not applicable RF exposure considerations Co-located issue shall be met as mentioned in Summarize the specific operational use conditions. Product manufacturer shall provide below text in end-product manual Radiation Exposure Statement:
The product comply with the US portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.. Antennas Brand name POSLAB Label and Compliance Information Product manufacturers need to provide a physical or e-label stating Contains FCC ID: Y2A-ECON-Z83 with finished product Information on Test Modes and Additional Testing Requirements Test tool: Ampak RFTtestTool shall be used to set the module to transmit continuously. Additional Testing, Part 15 Subpart B Disclaimer The module is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts listed on the grant, and that the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification.
