It is recommended to have a 5x5 grid of GND vias solidly connecting the exposed GND paddle of the module to the ground plane on the inner/other layers of the host board.
ATWINC3400-MR210CA 13. Design Consideration This section provides the guidelines on module placement and routing to achieve the best performance. 13.1 Module Placement and Routing Guidelines It is critical to follow the recommendations listed below to achieve the best RF performance: • The module must be placed on the host board and the chip antenna area must not overlap with the host board.
ATWINC3400-MR210CA • • • • • Place GND polygon pour below the module on the top layer of the host board. Avoid breaks in this GND plane, ensure continuous GND plane for better RF performance. GND polygon pour in the top layer of the host board should have a minimum area of 20 x 40 mm. Place sufficient GND vias on host board edge and below the module for better RF performance.

ATWINC3400-MR210CA 14. Reflow Profile Information This section provides the guidelines for the reflow process to get the module soldered to the customer's design. 14.1 Storage Condition 14.1.1 Moisture Barrier Bag Before Opening A moisture barrier bag must be stored at a temperature of less than 30°C with humidity under 85% RH. The calculated shelf life for the dry-packed product is 12 months from the date the bag is sealed. 14.1.
ATWINC3400-MR210CA Temperature Profiling Temperature profiling must be performed for all new board designs by attaching thermocouples at the solder joints, on the top surface of the larger components, and at multiple locations of the boards. This is to ensure that all components are heated to a temperature above the minimum reflow temperatures and the smaller components do not exceed the maximum temperature limit.
ATWINC3400-MR210CA Figure 14-1. Solder Reflow Profile Cleaning The exposed ground paddle helps to self-align the module, avoiding pad misalignment. The use of no clean solder pastes is recommended. As a result of reflow process, ensure to completely dry the no-clean paste fluxes. This may require longer reflow profiles and/or peak temperatures toward the high end of the process window as recommended by the solder paste vendor.
ATWINC3400-MR210CA 15. Module Assembly Considerations The ATWINC3400-MR210CA module is assembled with an EMI shield to ensure compliance with EMI emission and immunity rules. The EMI shield is made of a tin-plated steel (SPTE) and is not hermetically sealed. Solutions such as IPA and similar solvents can be used to clean this module. Cleaning solutions containing acid must never be used on the module. The ATWINC3400-MR210CA module is manufactured without any conformal coating applied.
