WE866 HW User Guide Low power deep sleep The low power deep sleep (LPDS) mode is an energy-efficient and transparent sleep mode that is entered automatically during periods of inactivity based on internal power optimization algorithms. The device can wake up in less than 3ms from the internal timer or from any incoming host command.
Communication ports 5.7.1. Module WE866 is considered as a slave when it is interfaced with a Host which acts as master. In addition to the standard SPI lines (MOSI, MISO, CLK, CS) it can be used also HOST_INT line. WE866 can interrupt the host using HOST_INT line to initiate the data transfer over the interface.
SPI_nCS HOST_INT INTERRUPT 5.7.2. UART In the table below are listed the UART configuration of WE866. PROPERTY WE866 CONFIGURATION Baud rate 115200 bps, no auto-baud rate detection, can be changed by the host up to 3 Mbps using a special command...

Figure.. shows the typical UART topology comprised of four standard UART lines (RTS, CTS, TX and RX) plus an optional line INTERRUPT from WE866 module to the host controller to allow efficient low-power mode. The configuration with INTERRUPT line offers the maximum communication reliability and flexibility between the host and the module.
WE866 HW User Guide RF SECTION Bands Variants The WE866 module operates in the 2.400-2.500 GHz ISM band, and it complies with protocols 802.11b/g/n. Supported channels are 1-13, at frequencies listed in the following table: Channel Frequency [MHz] 2412 2417...

6.4.1. PCB Design guidelines The WE866 module provides a 50Ω antenna pad, which has to be routed to the antenna connector (or the integrated antenna) by means of a transmission line. It is vital that the impedance of this line is controlled to 50Ω. The line should be as short as possible, and keep a constant cross section, without abrupt curves.
