8 of 19 AP2 RF Transceiver Module
228 River Avenue, Cochrane, Alberta, Canada T4C 2C1 thisisant.com
1.2.3 Bit Sync Mode
Notes:
• All interface signals are connected directly to I/O pins on the microcontroller.
• SCLK and
SEN
need to be on an interrupt capable I/O pin on the microcontroller. (Interrupt pins
located on Port 1&2 on the MSP430F1232)
1.3 Mounting Guideline
Refer to the recommended footprint drawing in section 4.
It is best to position the AP2 module so that the copper keepout area is on the edge or over hanging the edge of the
mating PCB. If the copper keepout layer is completely within the boundaries of the PCB, the ground plane should not
fully surround the copper keepout. If this is not possible, the copper keepout should be made much larger to prevent RF
degradation. The ground plane is recommended to extend to the full size of the mating PCB, with the exception of the
copper keepout.
To connect to M5IB type of AP2 module, the mating socket is Molex 52991-0208.
