WE310G4-I/P Module Hardware User Guide 7. DESIGN GUIDELINES General Digital Interface Recommendations There are two UARTs in WE310G4, intended to be used as explained below. UART0 is for AT commands and responses for application use. Baud rate supported 300 ~ 921600 (default baud 115200). HW flow control is supported.
PC. It is recommended to connect the WE310G4-I/P ON* (N16 pin) to control the Enable pin of the level shifter, in this way a tri-state will be guaranteed during BOOT.
Another example is for GSM, in general, you can use 33pF 0402 or 56pF 0201 General Design Rules The WE310G4-I has an embedded ceramic antenna. To preserve the bandwidth, keep attention to not place any copper or mechanical component in front or close to the ceramic antenna.

WE310G4-I/P Module Hardware User Guide For WE310G4-P you will need to use an external antenna connected to the antenna pad of the module, such as an SMA connector as shown in the figure below. Figure 12: WE310G4-P Placement In this case, considering the position of the external antenna with respect to other boards is very important.
(G-CPW) line. Figure 14: Coplanar Waveguide Dimensioning Example The final dimensions depend on the use of stack-up. While the WE310G4-I is already tuned to the embedded antenna, the WE310G4-P version needs to be tuned in relationship to the stack-up used.
WE310G4-I/P Module Hardware User Guide Audio Considerations Since, components and PCBs are getting smaller while the component’s density increases, another problem that becomes important is heat dissipation. For that reason, pay special attention to the PCB stack-up and component placement.
Figure 16: Layout Example for FAST Digital Lines Lines to resolve this, add in parallel, to 10nF, another capacitor of about 10pF to 33pF. ESD Characteristics Refer to the table below for the ESD characteristics of the WE310G4-I/P modules. Voltage Human Body Model (HBM) ±2000...

Figure 19: WE310FG4-P Bottom View Figure 20: WE310G4-P Side View and Mechanical Design PCB Pad Design For the solder pads, it is recommended to use Non-Solder Mask Defined pad (NSMD) on the PCB.
WE310G4-I/P Module Hardware User Guide PCB Pad Dimensions It is not recommended to place via or micro-via not covered by the solder resist in an area of 0.3 mm around the pads unless it carries the same signal of the pad itself as shown below.
Note: All temperatures refer to the topside of the package, measured on the package body surface. Danger: The WE310G4-I/P module withstands only one reflow process. The above solder reflow profile represents the typical SAC reflow limits and does not guarantee adequate adherence of the module to the customer application throughout the temperature range.
