1. IntroductionThe Atom™ is a low cost, easy to use, dual-band RF communication module for IoT-enabled wireless products. It enables designers to easily and quickly add wireless connectivity simply by supplying 3.3V and a SPI, I2C or UART port, and leveraging the compact Helium Systems API. Since the module is already FCC, ETSI and IC certified, there are no complex RF compliance issues to deal with. Its dual-band support ensures that your product can reach the Helium network under almost all operating conditions. 1.1 Module InterfaceThe primary interface to the embedded designer is through the UART or SPI. The UART set-tings are 115.2K baud, 8N1. Set up your UART for either polling or interrupt on data, and the module will eortlessly deliver received frames to your host processor. In SPI mode the Atom is a slave device, with clock polarity = 0 and clock phase = 0 (data is clocked out on the falling edge, and clocked in on the rising edge). This is commonly referred to as mode 0. SPI clock speed should be set to 12MHz or less. When powered on, the module will automatically establish a secure connection to the Helium network. No commissioning procedure is needed, and security is hardware-based for robust-ness.1.2 Circuit DescriptionThe Atom™ incorporates the Atmel SAM R21 processor, which is an ARM Cortex-M0+ class processor running at up to 48MHz. This processor includes a stacked-die Atmel AT86RF233 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 radio. An external SkyWorks front-end chip (PA/LNA/switch) is used to permit internal/external antenna selection and to boost RF performance. An Atmel AT86RF212B 780/868/915MHz IEEE 802.15.4 radio chip is also connected to the processor, along with an additional SkyWorks front-end chip. On-board chip antennas are supplied for each band, as well as U.FL connectors for external antennas. All controllable aspects of radio performance are managed by firmware in the processor. Several I/O signals are available for interfacing to the user’s system, primarily for communicating commands and data but also per-mitting general-purpose analog and/or digital interfacing. No control signals that could directly aect the radios are available externally.A separate hardware security chip is also available to the processor. This chip securely stores encryption keys as well as permanent device configuration details (serial number, operating bands, model number, MAC addresses, etc.) and also provides secure authentication and ran-dom number generation.© Helium Systems Inc. USA 2015 01/2015 4
1.3 Power Management There are a number of factors which contribute to power consumption by the module. Almost all of these can be controlled via firmware in order to minimize power consumption. Here is a list of the factors: • Transmit power setting• LNA enable/disable (may not be needed if the received signal is strong)• Both vs only one radio being active • Use of external antenna(s) (potentially higher gain than the chip antennas)• Use of module I/O signals (no pins left floating, not driving high-current loads, etc)• CPU power management (bus/clock speeds, peripheral use, Sleep mode use, etc)Helium-supplied firmware endeavors to minimize power consumption both in the CPU config-uration choices and by automatically managing the radio system power, taking advantage of the network’s ability to monitor and adjust both inbound and outbound RF path characteristics.There are several GPIO signals available to the embedded designer. The figure below shows a top side view of the module with the relative placement of the major IO and components. (Note: the pads shown below indicate relative position, but are on the bottom of the PCB.)2. Pin Configuration © Helium Systems Inc. USA 2015 01/2015 5

4. Product DevelopmentWhen used with the Helium network, the Atom firmware handles all aspects of the wireless protocol services transparently to the end user. Helium’s services also provide the ability to configure and use all of the User I/O pins of the Atom module directly from Helium’s servers. In situations where the end application requires simple I/O, it may be possible to implement the application without needing an additional CPU. For example, small sensors for light, temperature, voltage, switch closures, etc. could be implemented directly.If the application requirements exceed the direct capabilities of the module, then the end application system can use the module simply as a data communication pathway, using either SPI or UART to handle communication between their application processor and the Atom module. Additional details are available in application notes at helium.com.It is also possible to create custom firmware for using the module independently from Helium’s network. In this case, the developer is responsible for handling not only application requirements, but also all aspects of regulatory agency compliance for the RF signaling. More information on this will be provided at helium.com in the future.© Helium Systems Inc. USA 2015 01/2015 10
5. System IntegrationThe Atom™ dual-band wireless module is designed to be simple to integrate into your product. When using the module with Helium-supplied standard firmware, all Regulatory Agency limiting requirements are managed automatically. Even so, there are a few system integration guidelines you should be aware of to help meet those requirements. If you decide to implement your own firmware, the module can be operated under Helium’s FCC/IC/ETSI approval, as long as you ensure that the module is never operated outside of the Regulatory limits (as detailed in this Atom™ datasheet). Here are a few pointers to help you meet those requirements.• The Atom™ module must be operated within its specified voltage and temperature limits.• Variations in voltage and temperature have a small eect of transmitter eciency, and hence on transmitter power. Highest power output occurs at the low temperature / high voltage corner, and lowest power is seen at the high temperature / low voltage corner.• Power supply filtering is included on-board, and no special external filtering has been needed in our testing. As always, good engineering practices will help ensure final product RF compliance, particularly as regards having good circuit ground connections.• Do not have ‘planes’ (ground or power) or any other circuit traces under the antenna section of the module (the area where the chip antennas and U.FL connectors are located). The antenna section should be in free space (hanging o the edge of the carrier PCB, or over a routed-out area) for best RF performance.• When using external antennas, the antenna cables should route directly o the board, rather than having them cross over the chip antennas or the shielded section.• Transmit power limits must be observed in all frequency bands, per applicable Regulatory limits. Since each antenna has its own characteristics, those gains (or losses) must be taken into account to ensure that transmit power does not exceed the tested limits. The test conditions for the external antennas included a U.FL-to-SMA cable that exhibited a 0.5dB loss, and the gain figures for the tested antennas are listed in this Atom™ datasheet.• The Atom™ module certification does not currently permit simultaneous transmission from both radios; as a result, there is no antenna co-location requirement. Of course, if the end product includes additional transmitters, any applicable co-location requirements will need to be addressed.• The Helium-supplied label must remain in place, per Regulatory requirements. End-Product documentation must also contain applicable regulatory notices.© Helium Systems Inc. USA 2015 01/2015 11

7. Operating Conditions7.1 HardwareThe module supports various types of antenna configurations based on the frequency band of interest and the application range desired. In order to best optimize the right antenna for the application, the following notes describe how to best setup the module based on the antenna selected for the application.7.1.1 U.FL Antenna ConfigurationThe module supports 1 U.FL coaxial connector for the subGhz band (UFL1) and 1 U.FL coaxial connector for the 2.4GHz band (UFL2). Both of these connectors are standard U.FL form factors which is shown below. The part number for the U.FL connector is Molex - 73412-0110. There are several mating connector options in the same Molex family like 73116-0000 or 73116-0010.When making the connections to either U.FL connector, it is recommended to have the mating cable assemblies oriented in the direction shown in the figure below. This will allow the coaxial cable to stay as isolated away from the chip antennas to avoid any kind of forced crosstalk on the U.FL connected RF transmission path. If the coaxial cable is directly run over the top of the chip antennas, there is higher chance of RF transmission leakage into the U.FL path.© Helium Systems Inc. USA 2015 01/2015 13Dimensions = mm/inch
The U.FL to SMA cable that was used during FCC/IC/ETSI testing was a Taoglas CAB.011 cable assembly. This provides a direct SMA connection (for external antennas) to the module via the U.FL connector.The recommended antennas for external antenna support that were used with the Taoglas CAB.011 cable assembly are:2.4GHz - MobileMark PSKN3-2400S - +2.3dBiSubGHz - MobileMark PSKN3-700/2100S - +3.0dBiNOTE: See the FCC/IC/ETSI statement section for full details of the required compliance with external antennas in order to prevent voiding the modular approval of the module.© Helium Systems Inc.

8. Soldering InformationThe following graph shows the typical reflow curve for the placing of the module on the desired PCB design. The standard reflow oven doesn’t apply air pressure therefore the maximum temperature limit the module can withstand without air pressure is 300°C.Rework may need to occur in various circumstances with a rework hot air machine using air pressure. In this case, the module has a tolerance of the same 300°C if the air pressure is very low; however, the absolute maximum temperature limit should not exceed 280°C under 5.5 PSI at a distance of 1” away from the heat source.Chart 1: Module Soldering Profile© Helium Systems Inc.

9.2 Recommended Pad Layout (Top View)© Helium Systems Inc. USA 2015 01/2015 1710. Placement on the PCBThe design of the host base board needs to keep in mind that the modules RF characteristics can be aected substantially by any groundplanes within the chip antenna section of the module. The recommended placement is to have the module placed near an edge or over the edge to provide the best RF performance from the chip antennas. This will give the best radiation pattern especially when the module is also placed within an enclosure.The following figures give recommendations for the best placement.
© Helium Systems Inc. USA 2015 01/2015 18Based on the above recommendations, there may be situations where you cannot place the module near an edge. This may force the module to buried within the center groundplane of the host base board. Even though this is not recommended due to the dramatic decrease in chip antenna performance, the U.FL connections will still provide adequate RF performance to the external antenna of choice. As long as the ground plane can be minimized under the module as shown in the following figure.In all cases, the requirement to run traces under the module may arise. This is allowed provided there are no traces run through the RF KEEPOUT area described in the Recommended Pad Layout section above. Beware that high speed data lines running under the module is not recommended as there might be interference in both directions (host to module and module to host) especially when the module executes a transmission.PCBPCBGROUNDPLANE OKREMOVE GROUNDPLANEPCBGROUNDPLANE OKREMOVE GROUNDPLANEPCBPCBGROUNDPLANE OKREMOVEGROUNDPLANE
