Abstract

This technical data sheet describes the EMMY-W1 series modules

with Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth v4.2 (Bluetooth® Smart Ready) and

Near-Field Communication (NFC) designed for both simultaneous

and independent operations. These modules include an integrated

MAC/baseband processor and RF front-end components and can

connect to a host processor through SDIO 3.0 or high-speed UART

interfaces. A PCM interface is available for Bluetooth audio

applications. These modules are offered in both professional and

automotive grades.

EMMY-W1 series - User Manual 2 Interfaces 2.1 Operation mode configuration EMMY-W1 series module uses the GPIO_3 and GPIO_2 pins as host interface configuration input to set the desired operation mode following a reset. The definitions of these pins are changed to their usual functions after reset. When you need to configure the pins for a certain module operation mode, you need to provide a 100 kΩ pull down resistor to the ground.
