Ultra small dimensions of 7 x 9 mm including a strongly miniaturized PCB antenna make the Ophelia-I ideal for small form factor design. It is possible to connect an external antenna, in case higher radio ranges are required.
2 Electrical specifications Unless otherwise stated, the values specified are measured on the evaluation board of the Ophelia-I with T=25°C, VDD=3 V, f=2.44 GHz, internal DC-DC converter in use. Many electrical specifications depend on the specific firmware flashed on the ®...
4 Antenna connection Ophelia-I’s smart antenna configuration allows the user to choose between two antenna options: onboard PCB antenna and external antenna. Detailed description on how to imple- ment different antenna solution is given in chapter 7.3 , 7.4 , 7.5 and 8 .
6 Firmware flashing using the production interface The Ophelia-I offers a serial wire debug and programming interface (SWD) for module flash access. This interface can be used by customers to erase the entire chip and install their own firmware. Customers flashing their own firmware are fully responsible for certification, declaration, listing and qualification.
8 Reference design Ophelia-I was tested on the corresponding Ophelia-I evaluation board. Complete layout and schematic information can be found in the manual of the Ophelia-I evaluation board. The reference design is the same for the Proteus-e and Ophelia-I radio mod- ules.
Table 15: Weight 10.3 Light sensitivity Inside the Ophelia-I a light sensitive WLCSP package is used. This package is sensitive to visible and near infrared light. As the chip is not completely shielded on the sides, any mounting without enclosure could lead to malfunction. This should be taken into account when designing an enclosure for the end device.
