(coming from the internal RESET generator). This automatic reset is activated at power-up. The module remains in reset mode as long as the reset signal is held low. As soon as the reset is complete, the command line interface answers “OK” to the application. XM8200S-E00-100 xmodus swiss GmbH Seite 16 / 22...
The module will respond by powering down automatically without notice. This form of power-down is not recommended for regular use since the unexpected power loss may result in loss of data and unstable power-on sequences. XM8200S-E00-100 xmodus swiss GmbH Seite 17 / 22...
7. If a multilayer board design is used, make no cuts in the ground or power planes and be sure the ground plane covers all traces. 8. Minimize the number of through-hole connections on traces carrying high frequency signals. XM8200S-E00-100 xmodus swiss GmbH Seite 18 / 22...
Warning: Xmodus swiss strongly recommends working with an antenna manufacturer either to develop an antenna adapted to the application or to adapt an existing solution to the application. The antenna adaptation (mechanical and electrical adaptation) is one of the key issues in the design of a WLAN terminal.
