Description

The ATSAMR21B18-MZ210PA is a 19.7mm x 16.3mm wireless module. It
integrates an ATSAMR21E18 IC together with a serial data FLASH. The design
allows a variety of mounting positions with SMT as well as TH mounting. The
extended temperature range with operation up to 125°C is a distinguishing feature.

    There are two UART interfaces available for external use. SERCOM2 is available at test points for debug use while SERCOM1 is available at connector X1 for application use. The test points for SERCOM2 are duplicated on the PCB top layer and on the bottom layer. See 0 for detailed information.

    The integrated antenna is the cause of a number of design constraints for the base board. Please regard the drawings and suggestions in section 2.3 when designing the base board. The same section does also contain more information about the ground design. ATSAMR21B18-MZ210PA [PRELIMINARY DATASHEET] Atmel-42486C-ATSAMR21B18-MZ210PA_Datasheet_03/2016...

    The module length is 19.7mm by design. The edges are created in an automated milling process and have a tolerance of +/- 0.1mm. The module width is 16.3mm by design. The edges are created by separation of a V-cut PCB and have a tolerance of +0.2mm and – 0.1mm. ATSAMR21B18-MZ210PA [PRELIMINARY DATASHEET] Atmel-42486C-ATSAMR21B18-MZ210PA_Datasheet_03/2016...
