Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 10 2.3 Power consumption As a DC/DC voltage regulator is integrated, the current consumption is strongly depending on the supplied voltage level. The transmit and receive currents are depending on the impedance matching, and therefore may vary depending on antenna selection and matching. The indicated values are the complete current consumption for radio and ac-
tive MCU. Not to be confused with only radio or only CPU core currents, as sometimes stated by others. A stable power supply is indispensable to ensure valid operating conditions for the module. 2.3.1 Static The current consumption is the sum of the CPU current and Radio TX or RX current in active modes.

Table 7: Pinout Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 15 4 Quickstart 4.1 Minimal pin conguration In factory state, the module is immediately ready for operation in command mode. The fol-
lowing pins are required in the minimal conguration:
/RESET, BOOT, VCC, GND, /RTS, UTXD and URXD. The antenna pad ANT must be con-
nected accordingly in case it is used. If the module is to be connected to a PC, a converter cable/IC (3.3V TTL to USB) is neces-
sary to achieve interface compatibility. The Themisto-I-EV already implements such a USB converter to be connected to a PC. Not interpreting the /RTS line of the module as described in this manual may cause undened behavior and data loss. For enabling a quick wake-up (after Standby) the pin WAKE-UP has to be connected. The lines BOOT and WAKE-UP may be connected via external pull-up / down to a xed level according to their description when not switched by a host. In case of the WAKE-UP pin the external pull-up has to be selected accordingly in compari-
son with the internal resistor of typical 13kW. 4.2 Power up Recommended procedure for starting the module into normal operation:
Set and hold the BOOT and RESET pin to LOW. After supply voltage is applied to the module and has stabilized, the /RESET pin shall be tied to LOW level for another Dt of at least 1ms to ensure a safe start-up when releasing or applying HIGH to the /RESET pin. The module will send a CMD_RESET_IND UART message as well as pulling the /RTS line to LOW once it has booted and started the application. Then the BOOT pin may be either released or kept at LOW level. If the module is used on a battery-powered system, using a matching reset-IC (or a dis-
crete RC block for a delay) is highly recommended to ensure a correct power up and stable behavior towards a battery getting empty. Applying a reset (e.g. a host temporarily pulling the /RESET pin LOW for at least 1ms and releasing it again to HIGH) after the VCC is stable is also suf-
cient. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 16 Figure 3: Power up 4.3 Quickstart example Sending and receiving: Hello World Connect the two devices (modules, EV-boards or USB dongles) to a PC. You may need to install FTDI VCP drivers manually (see ) or using windows update. A minimum distance of 2 meters between the two devices should be kept at all time to avoid over modulation of the receiver. A terminal program, for example hterm, is used to perform the communication via COM ports. The two corresponding COM ports have to be selected and opened with a default conguration of 115200 baud, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit and Parity set to none (8n1). Make sure the received data is shown also as hex by enabling the corresponding checkbox:
As soon as the module is ready for operation (at start-up or after a reset), the device sends a CMD_RESET_IND message on the UART. Eventually the reset button has to be pushed (or CMD_RESET_REQ performed) to trigger a reset and see this message. Next, the command interface can be used to congure the module or to transmit data. The MAC_DefaultAddressMode is 0, which means that all radio frames are broadcasts that can be received by any other radio compatible device in default settings. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 17 To send the string "Hello World" the corresponding CMD_DATA_REQ has to be inserted into the input line of hterm. The "Type" needs to be change from "ASC" to "HEX" before entering the rst byte. The command CMD_DATA_REQ has the following structure:
Start signal Command Length 1 Byte 0x02 0x00 Payload CS Length Bytes 1 Byte In this example the payload 0x48 0x65 0x6C 0x6C 0x6F 0x20 0x57 0x6F 0x72 0x6C 0x64 0x21 (Hello World!) has a length of 12 (0x0C) Bytes. The checksum CS is a XOR conjunction of all previous bytes, which is 0x0F in this case. Using the "ASend" button followed by pushing the "Start" button sends the data once. The second module receiving this packet outputs a CMD_DATAEX_IND message containing the transmitted payload data and the corresponding RSSI value. In the default address mode (MAC_DefaultAddressMode = 0), the format of the CMD_DATAEX_IND is as follows:
Start signal Command Length 1 Byte 0x02 0x81 Payload RSSI CS
(Length-1) Bytes 1 Byte 1 Byte Thus, the CMD_DATAEX_IND message informs us that we received a packet with payload of 13 (0x0D) Bytes. 12 byte of these Bytes are the transmitted user payload 0x48 0x65 0x6C 0x6C 0x6F 0x20 0x57 0x6F 0x72 0x6C 0x64 0x21 (Hello World!) and one byte is the RSSI value, here 0xD9 (-39dBm in twos complement notation). Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 18 5 Functional description The Themisto-I can be congured to operate in several modes at the physical, MAC as well as the network layer. This chapter describes all the available modes of operation. 5.1 Physical layer At the physical layer, the Themisto-I can be congured to use one of the following radio pro-
les (see parameter RADIO_DefaultRfProfile). Radio prole Data rate (gross) [kcps]
Modulation Max packet size [Byte]
6 400 GFSK 8 (long range mode) 9 (long range mode) 480 (= 240 kbps net) 480 (= 30 kbps net) DSSS with FEC DSSS with FEC 224 224 224 Additionally, the frequency channel of operation is congurable to avoid interference between several subnets of radio devices (see RADIO_DefaultRfChannel). The radio parameters need to be chosen for optimal performance based on the required range, data rate, maximum payload size, keeping in mind the compliance with valid regulatory requirements. A detailed description for conguring these parameters could be found in chapter 7 and chapter 8. 5.2 MAC and network layer 5.2.1 Addressing modes In order to interconnect several modules and build a network or to send data to specic devices, the Themisto-I supports addressing at MAC and network levels. Based on the address mode of the module congured using the UserSetting MAC_DefaultAddressMode, each device can be congured with an address (1 or 2 byte) and a network id (1 byte) that is dened by the UserSettings MAC_SourceAddr and MAC_SourceNetID respectively. Address mode MAC address size [Byte] Network address size [Byte]

Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 19 Please note that the RF settings (e.g. RF prole, RF channel, address mode, repeater settings) must be the same for all nodes in the network. Violation may cause interrupted transmission, or received packets that cannot to be interpreted correctly. In addition, the timing parameters in case of re-
peater or enabled ACKs must be the same for all nodes in a network. The address mode 3 (254 network ids and 65534 addresses) is only supported by the Tarvos-II and Tarvos-III. Radio messages of devices that are using the same radio channel may inter-
fere with each other leading to possible collisions and packet loss. 5.2.2 Unicast A module can use the command CMD_DATA_REQ to send data to a pre-dened destination specied by the parameters MAC_DefaultDestAddr and MAC_DefaultDestNetID. Besides this, the command CMD_DATAEX_REQ triggers the data transmission to the address specied in the command. 5.2.3 Multicast/Broadcast The destination address or destination network id of 0xFF (255) or 0xFFFF (65535) stands for a broadcast which will trigger any compatible receiver to interpret this frame to forward it to its host. 5.2.4 Acknowledgement and retries In order to improve reliability in communication, the module can be congured to use radio acknowledgement and retry mechanism. It can be activated using the parameter MAC_NumRetrys accordingly and only in case of non-broadcast messages. 5.2.5 Packet sniffer mode The address resolution can be disabled ("packet sniffer") by enabling the sniffer mode in the UserSetting CfgFlags. A module in sniffer mode will accept all data packets (ignoring the target address) and forward them to the serial interface. Furthermore, it does not send any acknowledgement and cannot work as repeater at the same time (see section 13). 5.2.6 Repeater mode and mesh network The module can be run as a repeater to articially extend the range of sending devices in an existing network. A module congured as repeater, simply re-transmits the received packet after a random back off time. This mode allows options to build a flooding meshnetwork described in detail in chapter 13. 5.3 System conguration parameters The parameters that determine the functionality of the module are classied into two cate-
gories. The non-volatile UserSettings (see chapter 8) values that can be modied using the CMD_SET_REQ command retain their values after a power reset. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 20 Please note that each CMD_SET_REQ will consume one ash erase/write cycle, which are limited due to the hardware (guaranteed are 100k cycles, see TI C-
C1310 datasheet). On the other hand, the volatile settings (called "RuntimeSettings") can be accessed by ex-
plicit commands (see chapter 7.4) and used to quickly (but temporarily) modify specic pa-
rameters without using ash cycles. These settings are only valid until a reset is performed and shall be used when frequent updates of settings are necessary. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 21 6 Host connection 6.1 Serial interface: UART The conguration in factory state of the UART is 115200 baud with data format of 8 data Bits, no parity and 1 stop Bit ("8n1"). The baud rate of the UART can be congured by means of the UserSetting UART_Baudrate. The data format is xed to 8n1. The output of characters on the serial interface runs with secondary priority. For this reason, short interruptions may occur between the outputs of individual successive Bytes. The host must not implement too strict timeouts between two Bytes to be able to receive packets that have interruptions in between. Up to four full byte durations (32 Bit) delay between two successive Bytes shall be accepted by the host. For the direction "host to module" the host must respect byte-wise the line /RTS, which will indicate that the next byte of the packet can be received by the module. This direction also accepts a pause of up to four full byte durations (32Bit) delay between two successive Bytes before discarding received content (without user notication). Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 22 7 The command interface 7.1 Overview The module acts as a slave and can be fully controlled by an external host. The conguration as well as the operation of the module can be managed by predened commands that are sent as telegrams over the UART interface of the module. The commands of the command interface can be divided into 3 groups:
Requests: The host requests the module to trigger any action, e.g. request CMD_RESET_REQ the host asks the module to perform a reset. in case of the Conrmations: On each request, the module answers with a conrmation message In case of a CMD_RESET_REQ, to give a feedback on the requested operation status. the module answers with a CMD_RESET_CNF to tell the host whether the reset will be performed or not. Indications and Responses: The module indicates spontaneously when a special event has occurred. The CMD_DATAEX_IND indicates for example that data was received via radio. Start signal Command Length 1 Byte 1 Byte 0x02 Payload CS Length Bytes 1 Byte Start signal 0x02 (1 Byte) Command One of the predened commands (1 Byte), the module implements new and modied commands in comparison to other radio compatible modules. Length Species the number of payload data in the following eld. Payload Variable number (dened by the length eld) of data or parameters. Checksum Byte wise XOR combination of all preceding Bytes including the start signal, i.e. 0x02 Command Length Payload = CS All commands of type Request must obey the following rules:
Only one request at a time may be active. Wait for conrmation of the previous re-
quest and implement a suiting timeout (depends on the command or action that was requested, 500ms should cover the worst-case time). Indications are spontaneous messages, they may occur in between a command re-
quest and its conrmation. A high /RTS line signalizes that the module UART is not ready for reception. Thus, any byte(s) sent from the host will be discarded by the module without further user notication ("module busy"). If "module busy" occurs while sending a command to the module, it is necessary to resend this entire command again after /RTS pin status shows "module idle" again. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 23 7.2 Data transfer and reception in the command mode This group of commands include the commands that either are used to request a radio telegram to be send or indicates a received frame. 7.2.1 CMD_DATA_REQ This command serves the simple data transfer in the command mode. Transmission takes place on the congured channel to the previously parametrised destination address (taken from the volatile RuntimeSettings). This command is especially suitable for transmission for a point-to-point connection. The maximum number of payload data Bytes depends on the chosen RADIO_DefaultRfProfile. Format:

Both the RF channel to use and the destination address (depending on the parametrised address mode) are specied along with the command. The maximum number of payload data Bytes depends on the chosen RADIO_DefaultRfProfile. The entered channel, destination network and destination address are loaded into the volatile RuntimeSettings and thus are kept until the system is reset or these values are modied again. Please note that the format of this command depends on the congured MAC_DefaultAddressMode. Address mode 0:

Please note that in shut down mode, the WAKE-UP pin has an internal pull-down to ensure the wake-up is not performed accidentally due to a oating pin. 7.3.4 CMD_STANDBY_REQ This command triggers the standby mode of the chip, a low power mode with RAM retention. The standby mode is entered after the command conrmation message is transmitted. The UART interface is disabled in standby mode.

up is not performed accidentally due to a oating pin. When a falling edge is detected, the module wakes up but does not revert to factory settings as the RAM content is retained and all volatile settings are kept. Upon being idle again, a CMD_STANDBY_IND message is printed on the UART and the /RTS pin will show a low level. 7.3.5 CMD_STANDBY_IND This message indicates that the module woke up from standby mode and is ready for oper-

ning. These settings are volatile and will be reset to their defaults (see chapter 8) on a reset of the module or when waking up after a shut down command. 7.4.1 CMD_SET_PAPOWER_REQ This command is used to set the radio TX-power. Unlike the UserSettings parameter RADIO_DefaultRfTXPower, this is a volatile runtime parameter, but its power value is used in the same way. Thus, see section 8.2.3 for more information. The parameter must be chosen with prudence to reach good functionality and compliance with valid regulatory requirements as for example the EN 300 220 in the European Union or the FCC in the United States of America.

This settings can also be congured using our windows pc software "ACC". 7.5.1 CMD_SET_REQ This command enables direct manipulation of the parameters in the modules non-volatile UserSettings. The respective parameters are accessed by means of the corresponding SettingsIndex. Parameters with size of two or more Bytes have to be transferred with the LSB rst unless otherwise specied. The modied parameters only take effect after a restart of the module. This can be done by a CMD_RESET_REQ or using the /RESET pin. The validity of the specied parameters is not veried by the application. In-
correct values can result in device malfunction up to a scenario where the rmware of the module needs to be re-ashed to get it operating again!
Any use of CMD_SET_REQ will consume one ash erase/write cycle. Flash erase/write cycles are limited through hardware (guaranteed minimum 100k cycles). For frequently changing parameters use the volatile parameters "Run-
timeSettings", see chapter 7.4 . To store the parameters in the ash memory of the module, the particular mem-
ory segment must be buffered into RAM, then to be erased entirely and then restored from RAM. If a reset or VCC instability occurs during this procedure (e.g. due to sup-
ply voltage uctuations), the entire memory area may be destroyed and the module can only be resurrected by means of a JTAG or Bootloader rmware update. Recommended procedure: First verify the conguration of the module with CMD_GET_REQ and only apply a CMD_SET_REQ if required. Make sure the VCC is stable and no reset occurs during this procedure.

At start-up, these UserSettings are loaded as start values into the volatile settings ("Run-
timeSettings"). Some of the RuntimeSettings can be modied by special commands (see chapter 7.4). These RuntimeSettings are lost and replaced by the UserSettings content when the module is restarted. See chapters 7.4 and 7.5 for methods to change volatile and/or non-volatile settings. The non-volatile UserSettings can be modied by means of specic commands in the con-
guration mode (CMD_SET_REQ) of the module. These parameters are stored permanently in the modules ash memory. All settings are described on the following pages. After changing those parameters, a reset will be necessary to make use of the new settings. The validity of the specied parameters given with a CMD_SET_REQ is not veri-
ed. Incorrect values can result in device malfunction and may even result in the need of re-ashing the entire module rmware!
8.2 Modifying the UserSettings The following chapters will give examples for the modication for many parameters using the commands CMD_SET_REQ and CMD_GET_REQ. The PC software ACC (AMBER Cong Center, version 3.4.3 or newer) can also be used to change non-volatile parameters. 8.2.1 UART_Baudrate: Congure the UART speed Settings index Designation 0 UART_Baudrate Permissible values 9600 -
921600 Default value Permissions Number of Bytes 115200 read/write 4 The UserSetting UART_Baudrate is a 32 Bit eld that contains the symbol rate for the com-
munication interface. The format for the parametervalue is LSB rst. After changing the baud rate using the CMD_SET_REQ the module restarts using the new baud rate. Thus, please do not forget to update the baud rate of the connected host controller to be able to use the modules UART further on.

The following modes have been implemented:
No addressing (mode 0): Each module receives the transmitted RF telegram and delivers the received data to the host system via UART. No address information is transmitted in the radio telegram. 1-byte address (mode 1): The receiving module only delivers the data to the host system via UART, if the 1 Byte destination address congured at the sender corresponds to the 1 Byte source address of the receiver (MAC_SourceAddr) or if the destination broadcast address 255 was specied. Both, the destination address and the source address are transmitted in the wireless telegram (total = 2 Bytes). 2-Bytes address (mode 2): The receiving module only delivers the data to the host system via UART, if both the destination network id and the 1 Byte destination address congured at the sender correspond to the source addresses of the receiver (MAC_SourceNetID and 1 Byte MAC_SourceAddr) or if the destination broadcast address 255 and/or network broadcast id 255 was specied. A total of 4 Bytes of address information are transmitted in the wireless telegram. 2-Bytes address (mode 3): The receiving module only delivers the data to the host system via UART, if both the destination network id and the 2 Byte destination address congured at the sender correspond to the source addresses (MAC_SourceNetID and 2 Byte MAC_SourceAddr) of the receiver or if the destination broadcast address 65535 and network broadcast id 255 was specied. A total of 6 Bytes of address information are transmitted in the wireless telegram. In address mode 0, the use of wireless acknowledgement will cause problems if several wireless modules are addressed simultaneously. Therefore, no ACK is requested when using address mode 0 or when having any broadcast ad-
dress in the frame (destination net ID and/or destination address). The user shall also not set MAC_NumRetrys 6= 0 in address mode 0. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 44 The receiver and transmitter modules must always operate in the same ad-
dress mode! Otherwise, the receiver cannot interpret the received data packet meaning that the packet is discarded!

If this parameter is set to a value other than zero, the receiver module will automatically be prompt-
ed to send a wireless acknowledgement ("ACK"). Please note that sending acknowledge-
ments additionally increases the trafc and will have inuence on the duty-cycle, which can be crucial for CE compliance. This parameter shall only be enabled (i.e. set to another value than 0) if the parameter address mode selects a value of 1, 2 or 3 and the customer has congured unique addresses for the entire network. A use of broadcast mes-
sages (destination network ID and/or destination address) is not allowed when MAC_NumRetrys is set to any value not equal to 0. 8.2.6.1 Example 1 Set the transmission retry number to 1 using the CMD_SET_REQ:

When using several repeater devices in a single network, repeated data packets may collide on the frequency channel, when all repeater devices send the received packet at the same time. To avoid this, the frequency channel is divided in RP_NumSlots time slots, where each repeater chooses a certain slot by random. The smallest number of time slots that is needed, depends on the network structure and the number of the repeaters used. Assume there are NumRP repeater devices in the range of a sending device, then the probability of two repeated packets collide can be calculated by:
1 RP _N umSlotsN umRP (RP _N umSlots N umRP )!
RP _N umSlots!
(2) Common values are:
NumRP RP_NumSlots Collision probability 2 3 4 5 6 7 32 32 32 64 64 128 3.1%
9.2%
17.7%
14.8%
21.5%
15.4%
In the example network shown in gure 6, there are only two repeaters that can conict each other. Repeater 2 and 3 are forwarding the packet received from Sender 1 "at the same time". Thus, NumRP equals 2 and RP_NumSlots equal 32 is sufcient to have a collision prob-
ability of less than 5%. The time delay used by the repeater device can be determined as the time needed to send one packet (see table 9) times a random number between one and RP_NumSlots. Example:
In RADIO_DefaultRfProfile 0 the maximum send time for one packet is about 40ms. If we use 32 RP_NumSlots, the packet is forwarded latest after 3240ms=1280ms. 8.2.14.1 Example 1 Set the RP_NumSlots to 64 (0x40) using the CMD_SET_REQ.

During restart the /RTS may be pulled to GND level for a short time (<100s, see gure 4) until it is congured accordingly by the application on the module. 9.1.1 Reset via /RESET pin To force a module restart by means of the /RESET pin, it must rst be drawn to low for at least 100s. After the pin is released, the module will reboot, indicate a CMD_RESET_IND. Please note that the selected UART baud rate will introduce a latency for transmitting the 5-byte packet at module start-up. Recommended procedure: After the /RESET pin is released, wait for up to 200ms + UART transmission time for the CMD_RESET_IND packet (value is to be adopted for the selected UART baud rate) and for the stable low level on the /RTS pin. This section applies only to a situation where the VCC is stable and the mod-
ule was already running. Additional timings are needed when VCC was just applied to the module, see chapter 4.2 9.1.2 Reset as result of a serious error condition If the module runs in a serious error condition, a software reset is executed. In this case, the module starts up (this includes sending a CMD_RESET_IND) automatically and can be used again. The volatile RuntimeSettings are reset to defaults. Therefore, the host needs to detect the start-up indication and implement recongure the modules volatile settings when this event was detected. 9.2 Latencies when leaving standby or shutdown The indication CMD_RESET_IND or CMD_STANDBY_IND (5 Bytes in total) are written before the
/RTS pin is pulled back to low level. Therefore, the start-up time is also dependent on the UART baud rate. The time presented here was measured with the UART default setting of 115200 baud, 8n1. 9.2.1 Wake-up latency from standby The wake-up time from standby is 1.6 ms. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 62 Figure 4: Wake-up from standby 9.2.2 Wake-up latency from shutdown The wake-up time from shutdown is 5 ms. Figure 5: Wake-up from shutdown 9.3 Latencies during data transfer / packet generation The data transfer is always buffered, i.e. data received via UART is buffered in the module until a specic event occurs (i.e. packet completed with the CS eld of a command). Subse-
quently, the UART reception is interrupted (ow control with /RTS signal), and the payload data is passed to the internal memory of the wireless transceiver (FIFO). By using several UART buffers the time during which the UART is not receiving can be min-
imized. The wireless transmission starts as soon as the rst complete data packet is available in the transceiver memory. During the continuous wireless transmission, the remaining payload data is transmitted byte by byte on the radio. On the receiver side, the buffer is read as soon as an incoming packet is detected. The entire radio frame is buffered in the radio buffer and processed once the frame was checked against bit errors. If the module detects a packet that requires an ACK, the ACK is sent directly after the full packet reception. The channel access method is always deactivated for any ACKs. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 63 10 Radio parameters The default radio parameters are determined by the values of RADIO_DefaultRfProfile, RADIO_DefaultRfChannel and RADIO_DefaultRfTXPower in the user settings. These non-
volatile parameters can be modied using CMD_SET_REQ. To modify their volatile counterparts the commands CMD_SET_PAPOWER_REQ and CMD_SET_CHANNEL_REQ can be used. The parameters must be chosen with prudence not only to ensure optimal functionality, but also in compliance to the appropriate regulatory requirements such as the FCC in the United States of America. The module is pre-certied by mounting it on its EV-board. However, conformance of the end-device to this certication depends on the radiated power. Among other factors, the radiated power depends on the selected antenna, the wiring to the antenna and the quality of the power supply. Thus, it is highly recommended that the end-device manufacturer verify the radiated power on the end application. The frequency channels of the module can be selected from a 500 kHz grid. 10.1 Channel assignment A means that the channel is allowed corresponding to the appropriate operational frequency band requirements.
- means, that the channel is not allowed and is blocked by the rmware.
* means, that the channel in general is allowed, we recommend to use every second channel as the 6dB bandwidth is 500 kHz to fulll FCC $ 15.247 (a)(2). Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 64 Channel Frequency

(see chapter 8) to customer requirements and creating a customized product on base of the standard product with a unique ordering number for a specic customer that needs this conguration. For example if the UART baud rate shall be changed from the default value to another value. This variant will result in a customer exclusive module with a unique ordering number. This will also x the rmware version to a specic and customer tested version and thus results in a customer exclusive module with a unique ordering number. Further scheduled rmware updates of the standard rmware will not be applied to this variant automatically. Applying updates or further functions require a customer request and customer release procedure. 12.2 Customer specic rmware A customer specic rmware may include "Custom conguration of standard rmware" plus additional options or functions and tasks that are customer specic and not part of the stan-
dard rmware. Further scheduled rmware updates of the standard rmware will not be applied to this vari-
ant automatically. Applying updates or further functions require a customer request and customer release procedure. This also results in a customer exclusive module with a unique ordering number. An example for this level of customization are functions like host-less operation where the module will perform data generation (e.g. by reading a SPI or I2C sensor) and cyclic trans-
mission of this data to a data collector while sleeping or being passive most of the time. Also replacing UART with SPI as host communication interface is classied such a custom specic option. Certication critical changes need to be re-evaluated by an external qualied measurement laboratory. These critical changes may occur when e.g. changing radio parameters, the channel access method, the duty-cycle or in case of various other functions and options possibly used or changed by a customer specic rmware. 12.3 Customer rmware A customer rmware is a rmware written and tested by the customer himself or a 3rd party as a customer representative specically for the hardware platform provided by a module. This customer rmware (e.g. in form of a Intel hex le) will be implemented into the modules production process at our production side. This also results in a customer exclusive module with a unique ordering number. The additional information needed for this type of customer rmware, such as hardware specic details and details towards the development of such rmware are not available for the public and can only be made available to qualied customers. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 67 The qualication(s) and certication(s) of the standard rmware cannot be ap-
plied to this customer rmware solution without a review and verication. 12.4 Contact for rmware requests Please contact your local eld sales engineer (FSE) or wireless-sales@we-online.com for quotes regarding this topics. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 68 13 Flooding mesh: Using the repeater functionality The module can be run as a repeater to articially extend the range of sending devices in an existing network. If the module is congured as repeater, it can be simply added to existing Figure 6: Range extension using several repeaters wireless networks consisting of compatible modules. With this, the newly generated mesh network uses the so-called "ooding technique" to deliver data packets from their source to their destination device. The repeater module itself simply listens to the congured channel and forwards all received packets except the ones addressed to itself. Thereby a random delay is used to avoid RF packet collision. To reduce trafc on the frequency channel, each repeater device checks before repetition, if the channel is free and whether it has already sent this packet before or not. Thus, every repeater sends each packet only once. In a network with NumRP repeater devices, each data packet is repeated NumRP times. Therefore each packet that is send from node A to node B forces a trafc of NumRP+1 data packets in total on the frequency channel. Besides of this, an module that is congured as repeater supports also the functions of a standard module. Thus, it can receive data and can initiate the data transmission to other modules. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 69 13.1 Setup of the network and repeater device The repeater mode can be enabled with setting Bit 0 accordingly in the RpFlags. As ACKs are not supported by the repeater mode all network members must make sure that the UserSettings value of MAC_NumRetrys is set to 0. If the module is congured as repeater, the following notes have to be considered:
1. Requirements on the network:
a) The repeater devices have to be line-powered (no battery), since due to packet repetition it demands more energy. b) Depending on the data rate, each repeater should repeat a maximum of 2-5 pack-
ets per second to give a good chance that the repeater is not busy with repeating when already a new packet arrives for repetition. Otherwise, packets can get lost. Please setup your network such that this requirement is fullled. More packets per second will result in more packet loss as the collision probability is increased. c) If the network consists of several layers of repeaters, each layer delays the packet transmission additionally. d) To setup the network all participants have to use the same RADIO_DefaultRfProfile, RADIO_DefaultRfChannel and MAC_DefaultAddressMode. e) The network must be designed by the user in a way the duty-cycle requirements of the local regulatory requirements cannot be exceeded. 2. Information for the repeater device:
a) Acknowledgements (ACK) of successfully received packets are blocked. If an ACK is requested by the sending module, the request is ignored. Furthermore, the repeater does not request any ACK, when repeating a packet. b) The "packet sniffer" mode cannot run at the same time as the module is in repeater mode. c) Each time a packet has been repeated a CMD_REPEAT_IND is output over UART. Depending on the address mode, the address of the involved devices is placed in the CMD_REPEAT_IND telegram. With this the original sender of the RF packet and the device, that is supposed to receive the packet, can be identied. 3. Information for the sending and receiving devices:
a) The senders should send less frequently to avoid packet collision on the frequency channel and to not exceed the duty cycle requirements. b) The repeater devices do not support the feature of ACKs for the successful re-
ception of the packets. Thus, the sender will never receive ACKs if requested. To ensure that transmitted packets are successfully received by the destination device, the network administrator has to integrate his own acknowledging feature in the customers application. To be sure that the sender does not request ACKs the UserSetting MAC_NumRetrys must be set to 0. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 70 c) Every repeater sends each packet only once. However, receivers can receive each packet several times (sent by different repeaters), if there are packets of different content in the network temporally close to each other. Thus, on the side of the receiving device, a mechanism shall be implemented that detects and lters double packets. 13.2 Example network Figure 7: Example network In the example network shown above, the goal is to send a packet from device 1 to 5. Without the repeater devices, this would be impossible. The steps are as follows:
1. Sender 1 sends a packet. a) Repeater 2 and 3 receive and accept it at the same time. 2. Device 2 and 3 delay the packet. a) Repeater 3 sends the packet. i. Sender 1 and 6 do not accept it, since their addresses are wrong (unequal 5). Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 71 ii. Repeater 2 does not accept it, since it has been already received before (1.2). b) Repeater 2 sends the packet. i. Repeaters 3 does not accept it, since it has been already received before
(1.3). ii. Sender 1 does not accept it, since its address is wrong (unequal 5). iii. Repeater 4 receives and accepts the packet. 3. Repeater 4 delays and sends the packet. a) Sender 6 and 7 do not accept it, since their addresses are wrong (unequal 5). b) Repeater 2 does not accept it, since it has been already received before (1.2). c) Receiver 5 accepts it and its successfully delivered (address equals 5). Note that the packet forwarded by repeater 2 and 3 would collide in the frequency channel, if they wouldnt be randomly delayed (see RP_NumSlots). 13.2.1 Application in parallel networks If As described above, a repeater device forwards all packets that are received before. a network needs to have a bigger throughput of data, a parallel network can be set up, that relaxes the stress of the primal network. To do so, all sending, receiving and repeater devices of the parallel network are congured to use a new non-overlapping channel, such that the primal network is not affected at all by the trafc of the parallel network. All nodes in the networks shall not be closer to each other than 2 meters, if that connot be avoided the tx power parameter of devices close to each other must be reduced. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 72 14 Firmware update We highly recommend having the UART or JTAG accessible in any application to have the possibility to perform a rmware update. Firmware updates can only be performed through this interfaces once a module is implemented into a customer PCB. Flashing a customer or non standard rwmare makes all regulatory and con-
formity information and certicates of chapter 22 invalid. 14.1 Update using the UART interface Only the UTDX, URXD and GND signals are needed for this connection. A suiting adapter/-
converter is required for a PC connection (e.g. the FTDI TTL-323R-3V3 UART to USB converter). None of the module pins is 5V TTL compatible. Applying overvoltage to any pin may damage the hardware permanently. Make sure your levels are in the range of the electrical specication shown in chapter 2 14.1.1 ACC Software As long as our standard rmware is running on the module, it can be updated with the PC utility "AMBER Cong Center" (ACC) via the serial interface. Therefore the module must be reset while holding the BOOT pin on a high level until the bootloader is active. If the module is not directly connected to a PC, at least the UART should be made accessi-
ble, e.g. by means of suitable connectors. The pin BOOT must be connected to a high level (while and short after a reset) in order to start the bootloader. If the BOOT pin is connected to GND the application will start, so for normal operation the level on the BOOT pin must be pulled to GND (e.g. using a pull-down with up to 1kW) to make sure the application is started. The reset signal shall be connectable to GND for performing a reset of the module (e.g. using a push-button which pulls to GND when pressed). The /RESET pin has an internal pull-up of 100 kW. 14.1.2 Generic UART solution This information is not available for public and requires a NDA and Licensing procedure for qualied customers. Additional information is available upon request from wireless-
sales@we-online.com. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 73 14.2 Update using JTAG Using this interface option allows performing a fail-safe rmware update even in case of a broken rmware or misconguration. The user needs hardware and software tools to be able to perform this procedure. In detail those are:
Flash adapter for Cortex M C supporting TI CC1310 (Not every adapter supports the used connection methods). Recommended adapters are: "Segger J-Flash" and "TI XDS110v3"
Flasher software according to the used asher adapter
/RESET, GND and VCC are needed for the JTAG connection JTAG connection is supported through the modules pads i1 to i4 Our binary rmware les are not publicly available and require a NDA and licensing proce-
dure for qualied customers. Additional information is available upon request from wireless-sales@we-online.com. Using this method may require a full chip-erase to be able to write a new mr-
ware into the module. Never erase the entire chip. Some memory segments (such as CCFG and FactorySettings) must be retained if original rmware shall be ashed onto the C again. Missing, illegal or erased parameters/ash segments may lead to module malfunctions when original rmware is used.

TI-RTOS: Additional latencies up to 5ms due to task priorities may occur. In case a CMD_DATAEX_REQ is used with a wrong channel number, the module answers with a CMD_DATAEX_CNF (0x02 0x41 0x01 0x02 0x40) instead of a CMD_DATA_CNF (0x02 0x40 0x01 0x02 0x41) message. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 75 16 Design in guide 16.1 Advice for schematic and layout For users with less RF experience it is advisable to closely copy the relating evaluation board with respect to schematic and layout, as it is a proven design. The layout should be conducted with particular care, because even small deciencies could affect the radio performance and its range or even the conformity. The following general advice should be taken into consideration:
A clean, stable power supply is strongly recommended. Interference, especially oscil-
lation can severely restrain range and conformity. Variations in voltage level should be avoided. LDOs, properly designed in, usually deliver a proper regulated voltage. Blocking capacitors and a ferrite bead in the power supply line can be included to lter and smoothen the supply voltage when necessary. No xed values can be recommended, as these depend on the circumstances of the application (main power source, interferences etc.). The use of an external reset IC should be considered if one of the following points is relevant:
The slew rate of the power supply exceeds the electrical specications. The effect of different current consumptions on the voltage level of bat-
teries or voltage regulators should be considered. The module draws higher currents in certain scenarios like start-up or radio transmit which may lead to a voltage drop on the supply. A restart under such circum-
stances should be prevented by ensuring that the supply voltage does not drop below the minimum specications. Voltage levels below the minimum recommended voltage level may lead to misfunction. The /Reset pin of the module shall be held on LOW logic level whenever the VCC is not stable or below the minimum operating Voltage. Special care must be taken in case of battery powered systems. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 76 Elements for ESD protection should be placed on all pins that are accessible from the outside and should be placed close to the accessible area. For example, the RF-pin is accessible when using an external antenna and should be protected. ESD protection for the antenna connection must be chosen such as to have a minimum effect on the RF signal. For example, a protection diode with low capacitance such as the LXES15AAA1-100 or a 68 nH air-core coil connecting the RF-line to ground give good results. Placeholders for optional antenna matching or additional ltering are recommended. The antenna path should be kept as short as possible. Again, no xed values can be recommended, as they depend on the inuenc-
ing circumstances of the application (antenna, interferences etc.). Figure 8: Layout To avoid the risk of short circuits and interference there should be no routing under-
neath the module on the top layer of the baseboard. On the second layer, a ground plane is recommended, to provide good grounding and shielding to any following layers and application environment. In case of integrated antennas it is required to have areas free from ground. This area should be copied from the evaluation board. The area with the integrated antenna must overlap with the carrier board and should not protrude, as it is matched to sitting directly on top of a PCB. Modules with integrated antennas should be placed with the antenna at the edge of It should not be placed in the middle of the main board or far away the main board. from the edge. This is to avoid tracks beside the antenna. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 77 Filter and blocking capacitors should be placed directly in the tracks without stubs, to achieve the best effect. Antenna matching elements should be placed close to the antenna / connector, block-
ing capacitors close to the module. Ground connections for the module and the capacitors should be kept as short as possible and with at least one separate through hole connection to the ground layer. ESD protection elements should be placed as close as possible to the exposed areas. Figure 9: Placement of the module with integrated antenna 16.2 Dimensioning of the micro strip antenna line The antenna track has to be designed as a 50W feed line. The width W for a micro strip can be calculated using the following equation:
!
W = 1:25 5:98 H 50p e
r +1:41 87
Tmet
(3) Example:
A FR4 material with er = 4.3, a height H = 1000 m and a copper thickness of Tmet= 18 m Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 78 Figure 10: Dimensioning the antenna feed line as micro strip will lead to a trace width of W 1.9 mm. To ease the calculation of the micro strip line (or e.g. a coplanar) many calculators can be found in the internet. As rule of thumb a distance of about 3W should be observed between the micro strip and other traces / ground. The micro strip refers to ground, therefore there has to be the ground plane underneath the trace. Keep the feeding line as short as possible. 16.3 Antenna solutions There exist several kinds of antennas, which are optimized for different needs. Chip anten-
nas are optimized for minimal size requirements but at the expense of range, PCB antennas are optimized for minimal costs, and are generally a compromise between size and range. Both usually t inside a housing. Range optimization in general is at the expense of space. Antennas that are bigger in size, so that they would probably not t in a small housing, are usually equipped with a RF con-
nector. A benet of this connector may be to use it to lead the RF signal through a metal plate (e.g. metal housing, cabinet). As a rule of thumb a minimum distance of l/10 (which is 3.5 cm @ 868 MHz and 1.2 cm @
2.44 GHz) from the antenna to any other metal should be kept. Metal placed further away will not directly inuence the behavior of the antenna, but will anyway produce shadowing. Keep the antenna away from large metal objects as far as possible to avoid electromagnetic eld blocking. The choice of antenna might have inuence on the safety requirements. In the following chapters, some special types of antenna are described. Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 79 16.3.1 Wire antenna An effective antenna is a l/4 radiator with a suiting ground plane. The simplest realization is a piece of wire. Its length is depending on the used radio frequency, so for example 8.6 cm 868.0 MHz and 3.1 cm for 2.440 GHz as frequency. This radiator needs a ground plane at its feeding point. Ideally, it is placed vertically in the middle of the ground plane. As this is often not possible because of space requirements, a suitable compromise is to bend the wire away from the PCB respective to the ground plane. The l/4 radiator has approximately 40 W input impedance, therefore matching is not required. 16.3.2 Chip antenna There are many chip antennas from various manufacturers. The benet of a chip antenna is obviously the minimal space required and reasonable costs. However, this is often at the expense of range. For the chip antennas, reference designs should be followed as closely as possible, because only in this constellation can the stated performance be achieved. 16.3.3 PCB antenna PCB antenna designs can be very different. The special attention can be on the miniaturiza-
tion or on the performance. The benets of the PCB antenna are their small / not existing (if PCB space is available) costs, however the evaluation of a PCB antenna holds more risk of failure than the use of a nished antenna. Most PCB antenna designs are a compromise of range and space between chip antennas and connector antennas.

For the compliance with the FCC 15.247, the evaluation board serves as reference design. This is no discrepancy due to the fact that the evaluation board itself does not fall within the scope of FCC 15.247 according to 47 CFR 2.803 (c) exemptions (iv) evaluation kit, as the module is tested on the evaluation board, which is also the recommended use. Further information concerning the use of the evaluation board can be found in the man-
ual of the Themisto-I evaluation board.

JEDEC J-STD-020E It is recommended to solder this module on the last reow cycle of the PCB. For solder paste use a LFM-48W or Indium based SAC 305 alloy (Sn 96.5 / Ag 3.0 / Cu 0.5 / Indium 8.9HF /
Type 3 / 89%) type 3 or higher. The reow prole must be adjusted based on the thermal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efciency of the reow oven and the specic type of solder paste used. Based on the specic process and PCB layout the optimal soldering prole must be adjusted and veried. Other soldering methods (e.g. vapor phase) have not been veried and have to be validated by the customer at their own risk. Rework is not recommended.

Ramp Up RateMax. Ramp Down Rate 18.2.2 Cleaning Do not clean the product. Any residue cannot be easily removed by washing. Use a "no clean" soldering paste and do not clean the board after soldering. Do not clean the product with water. Capillary effects can draw water into the gap between the host PCB and the module, absorbing water underneath it. If water is trapped inside, it may short-circuit adjoining pads. The water may also destroy the label and ink-jet printed text on it. Cleaning processes using alcohol or other organic solvents may draw solder ux residues into the housing, which wont be detected in a post-wash inspection. The solvent may also destroy the label and ink-jet printed text on it. Do not use ultrasonic cleaning as it will permanently damage the part, particularly the crystal oscillators. 18.2.3 Other notations Conformal coating of the product will result in the loss of warranty. The RF shields will not protect the part from low-viscosity coatings. Do not attempt to improve the grounding by forming metal strips directly to the EMI covers or soldering on ground cables, as it may damage the part and will void the warranty. Always solder every pad to the host PCB even if some are unused, to improve the mechanical strength of the module. The part is sensitive to ultrasonic waves, as such do not use ultrasonic cleaning, weld-
ing or other processing. Any ultrasonic processing will void the warranty. 18.3 ESD handling This product is highly sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). As such, always use prop-
er ESD precautions when handling. Make sure to handle the part properly throughout all stages of production, including on the host PCB where the module is installed. For ESD ratings, refer to the module series maximum ESD section. For more information, refer to the relevant chapter 2. Failing to follow the aforementioned recommendations can result in severe damage to the part. the rst contact point when handling the PCB is always between the local GND and the host PCB GND, unless there is a galvanic coupling between the local GND (for example work table) and the host PCB GND. Before assembling an antenna patch, connect the grounds. While handling the RF pin, avoid contact with any charged capacitors and be careful when contacting any materials that can develop charges (for example coaxial cable with around 50-80 pF/m, patch antenna with around 10 pF, soldering iron etc.) Themisto-I reference manual version 1.0 www.we-online.com/wireless-connectivity August 2019 93 Do not touch any exposed area of the antenna to avoid electrostatic discharge. Do not let the antenna area be touched in a non ESD-safe manner. When soldering, use an ESD-safe soldering iron. 18.4 Safety recommendations It is your duty to ensure that the product is allowed to be used in the destination country and within the required environment. Usage of the product can be dangerous and must be tested and veried by the end user. Be especially careful of:
Use in areas with risk of explosion (for example oil reneries, gas stations). Use in areas such as airports, aircraft, hospitals, etc., where the product may interfere with other electronic components. It is the customers responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements as well as applicable environmental regulations. Disassem-
bling the product is not allowed. Evidence of tampering will void the warranty. Compliance with the instructions in the product manual is recommended for correct product set-up. The product must be provided with a consolidated voltage source. The wiring must meet all applicable re and security prevention standards. Handle with care. Avoid touching the pins as there could be ESD damage. Be careful when working with any external components. When in doubt consult the technical documentation and relevant standards. Always use an antenna with the proper characteris-
tics. Since the module itself is not fused the voltage supply shall be fed from a limited power source according to EN 62368-1 class PS1. Modules with high output power of up to 500mW, as for example the Thebe family, generate a high amount of warmth while transmitting. The manufactur-
er of the end device must take care of potentially neccessary actions for his application.

The following points have to be considered:
To avoid the risk of short circuits, a minimum clearance of at least 14 mm between the opposing pad rows has to be maintained! No routing on the top layer of a carrier PCB
(i.e. "under" the module) shall be performed. For the module variant with integrated antenna the marked corner area of 7.3 x 13.8 m-
m has to be kept free from metal, on any layer. The four bottom side pads are optionally for the rmware update using JTAG can be left open when JTAG update is not needed in the customers application. This footprint is also compatible to the radio modules Tarvos-I, Tarvos-II, Thadeus and Titania. 19.5 Antenna free area To avoid inuence and mismatching of the antenna the recommended free area around the antenna should be maintained. As rule of thumb a minimum distance of metal parts to the antenna of l/10 should be kept (see gure 20). Even though metal parts would inuence the characteristic of the antenna, but the direct inuence and matching keep an acceptable level.

iC: 5136. -090 19 The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs Gif such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(b)(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a unique antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number in accordance with 15.212
(a)(1)(vi(A) / B). The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. a The module is designed in such a way, that whenever the data input is disturbed or disconnected, the RF signal is not affected and the device will not ~o out of com:liance a The DC/DC re; ulator of the CC1310 is used. es An antenna can only be attached through soldering to the module.

In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance. Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ensure compliance.
