SL917 Wireless Module Figure 3.2. Veda SL917 Module Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE Explorer Kit Power Architecture Power is normally applied through the USB cable. When the USB cable is connected, VBUS is regulated down to 3.3 V. Power can also be applied through the Mini Simplicity connector or Breakout Pads. There must be no other power sources present on the kit as power is injected directly to the VMCU net.

POC_OUT POC_IN RESET Figure 3.4. Veda SL917 Module Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE Explorer KitReset The Power On Control (POC) has two control options. POC_OUT Connected to POC_IN: The POC_IN input of the chip should be made high only after supplies are valid to ensure the IC is in safe state. The POC_IN can be connected externally to the internally generated POC_OUT signal or can be controlled from external source like R/C circuit.

3.6 External Memory The Veda SL917 Module Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE Explorer Kit includes a 64 Mbit QSPI PSRAM that is isolated from the SL917 Module using switch. The APS6404L-3SQR-ZR device features a high-speed, low-pin count interface. To keep current consumption down, it is important that the PSRAM is always put in power off mode when not used.
