22 Hardware Overview
Hardware Interfaces
Module Pin-out
Connections are made to the module using 41 edge pads (“vias”) that allow the module to
be surface mounted to a main board. Here is a bottom view of the module, showing the
numerical interfaces of the module:
The document sections that follow explain in detail how these connections are used.
Antenna Connections
The ThingMagic Nano supports one monostatic bidirectional RF antenna through edge
vias. See Hardware Integration
for antenna edge via locations and layout guidelines.
The maximum RF power that can be delivered to a 50 ohm load from each port is 0.5
Watts, or +27 dBm (regulatory requirements permitting).
