5.1 Device States

The ATWINC3400-MR210xA module has multiple device states, based on the state of the IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth subsystems. It is possible for both subsystems to be active at the same time. To simplify the device power consumption breakdown, the following basic states are defined. One subsystem can be active at a time:

  • WiFi_ON_Transmit – Device actively transmits IEEE 802.11 signal
  • WiFi_ON_Receive – Device actively receives IEEE 802.11 signal
  • BT_ON_Transmit – Device actively transmits Bluetooth signal
  • BT_ON_Receive – Device actively receives Bluetooth signal
  • Doze – Device is powered on but it does not actively transmit or receive data
  • Power_Down – Device core supply is powered off
