4. Antenna
4.1 Antenna type
Ezlo_EP01 uses only an onboard PCB antenna.
4.2 Antenna interference reduction
To ensure optimal Wi-Fi performance when the Wi-Fi module uses an onboard PCB antenna, it is recommended that the antenna be at least 15 mm away from other metal parts.
To ensure antenna performance, the PCB should not be routed or clad with copper in the antenna area.
The main points of the layout: Make sure that there is no substrate medium directly below or above the
printed antenna.
Make sure that the area around the printed antenna is far away from the metal copper skin,
so as to ensure the radiation effect of the antenna to the greatest extent
5 Recommended PCB layout
6 Power-on sequence and resetting
6.1 Treatment of GPIO pins
A few pins of the module will have instantaneous high-level pulses before the chip fully works, and
everything will be normal after the chip works. For these pins, if they are directly used as driving light
sources or relays, in order to avoid the effect of burrs at the moment of power-on, refer to the following
processing methods: Pull down a 1-KΩ resistor at an output port of a pin, and then connect a diode in
series.
At this time, the voltage of a GPIO will drop to about 2.7V after passing through the diode. The red box
represents the original drive tube on the customer’s baseboard. A diode D1 and pull-down 1-KΩ resistor
need to be added. If a lamp is directly driven, pull down a 10-KΩ resistor on the grid of the positive Mos.
If a lamp is not directly driven and a PWM signal will not be sent until the module is officially launched,
there is no need to add a pull-down resistor and diode. If a relay is driven, you can change the diode to
a resistor of 0 Ω according to the actual situation.
6.2 Storage Conditions
The products sealed in moisture barrier bags (MBB) should be stored in a non-condensing atmospheric
environment of ∠ 40 °C and 90%RH. The module is rated at the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 3.
After unpacking, the module must be soldered within 168 hours with the factory conditions 25 ± 5 °C and
60 %RH. If the above conditions are not met, the module needs to be baked.
6.3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
- Human body model (HBM): ±2000 V
- Charged-device model (CDM): ±500 V
6.4 Reflow Profile
Solder the module in a single reflow
6.5 Ultrasonic Vibration
Avoid exposing Ezlo_EP01 modules to vibration from ultrasonic equipment, such as ultrasonic welders or
ultrasonic cleaners. This vibration may induce resonance in the in-module crystal and lead to its
malfunction or even failure. As a consequence, the module may stop working or its performance may
deteriorate
