VT-MKW41Z Module Datasheet Rev 0.4 Confidential Copyright © 2017 Volansys Volansys Technologies Page | 14 5 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION 5.1 Hardware Block Diagram Figure 2: MKW41Z Module Hardware Block Diagram The MKW41Z512 Module families are based on the NXP’s Kinetis MCU family MKW41Z512VHT4. MKW41Z module are fully integrated 2.4GHz Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.2) and IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transceiver and a powerful 32-bit ARM® Cortex M0+ MCU, up to 512kB flash and 128kB SRAM memory and rich peripherals. The industry standard Micro trace buffer and serial wire SWD programming and debugging interfaces together with the standard ARM system debug components help to streamline any custom software development. Module has inbuilt chip antenna. These antenna supports BLE and IEEE 802.15.4 protocol ISM Band (2.4GHz). The voltages are monitored (brown-out detection) and the built in power-on-reset circuit eliminates the need for any external monitoring circuitry. This module has support of external RTC 32/32.768 kHz watch crystal. The MKW41Z512 module have fully integrated DC-DC converter with Buck, Boost and Bypass modes. Module can be easily configured for Buck and Boost mode power operations. For more details please check DCDC converter section.
VT-MKW41Z Module Datasheet Rev 0.4 Confidential Copyright © 2017 Volansys Volansys Technologies Page | 15 5.2 Antenna The MKW41z Module includes an integrated chip antenna. The MKW41Z Module should be mounted with the PCB chip antenna overhanging the edge of the host board. To further improve performance, a ground plane may be placed on the host board under the module up to the antenna keep out area. The installation of an uninterrupted ground plane on a layer directly beneath the module will also allow you to run traces under this layer. The chip antenna is compact and highly efficient. To maximize range, an adequate ground plane must be provided on the host PCB. Correctly positioned, the ground plane on the host PCB will contribute significantly to the antenna performance; it should not be directly under the chip antenna. The position of the module on the host board and overall design of the product enclosure contribute to antenna performance. Poor design affects radiation patterns and can result in reflection, diffraction and/or scattering of the transmitted signal. A few design guidelines to help ensure antenna performance: • Never place the ground plane or route copper traces directly underneath the antenna portion of the module • Never place the antenna close to metallic objects • In the overall design, ensure that wiring and other components are not placed near the antenna • Do not place the antenna in a metallic or metalized plastic enclosure • Keep plastic enclosures 1cm or more away from the antenna in any direction 5.3 Module Reset Pin 15 is used as an external reset. The reset pin only contains an active pull down device. This pin can be used for other functions, such as GPIO, by setting the RESET_PIN_CFG option bit of the FTFA_FPORT register to 0. This bit is retained through system resets and low power modes. When the RESET pin is disabled and configured as a GPIO output, it operates as a pseudo open drain output. 5.4 Clock The MKW41z Module requires two clock system. On module 32MHz crystal used for RF reference oscillator. The clock is used by the RF, analog and digital section interfaces. It can be used also by the MCU core and as a clock source for some internal peripherals. For normal run modes, an internal oscillator can provide the low frequency clock. However, to make full use of reduced power modes an external crystal must be present. The MKW41z Module supports external 32/32.768KHz crystal. This is used as the clock for the RTC and the deep-sleep clock. Symbol Parameter Typ. Max.

If the module’s label is not visible when installed, then an additional permanent label must be applied on the outside of the finished product which states: “Contains transmitter module FCC ID: 2AKNO-MKW41Z Additionally, the following statement should be included on the label and in the final product’s user manual: “This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interferences, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.”  The module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications. Separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configuration with respect to Part 2.1093 and different antenna configurations.  module or modules can only be used without additional authorizations if they have been tested and granted under the same intended end‐se operational conditions, including simultaneous transmission operations. When they have not been tested and granted in this manner, additional testing and/or FCC application filing may be required. The most straightforward approach to address additional testing conditions is to have the grantee responsible for the certification of at least one of the modules submit a permissive change application.When having a module grantee file a permissive change is not practical or feasible, the following guidance provides some additional options for host manufacturers. Integrations using modules where additional testing and/or FCC application filing(s) may be required are: (A) a module used in devices requiring additional RF exposure compliance information (e.g., MPE evaluation or SAR testing); (B) limited and/or split modules not meeting all of the module requirements; and (C) simultaneous transmissions for independent collocated transmitters not previously granted together. This Module is full modular approval; it is limited to OEM installation ONLY. Integration into devices that are directly or indirectly connected to AC lines must add with Class II Permissive Change. (OEM) Integrator must assure compliance of the entire end product include the integrated Module. Additional measurements (15B) and/or equipment authorizations (e.g Verification) may need to be addressed depending on co-location or simultaneous transmission issues if applicable. (OEM) Integrator is reminded to assure that these installation instructions will not be made available to the end user of the final host device. 9.4 IC Statement This device complies with Industry Canada license‐exempt RSS standard(s).
