4.2.6 WBZ451H Module Interface Specifications

The WBZ451H module supports all the interfaces available, except the below pins on the PIC32CX-BZ2 SoC. Refer to Figure 4-5 for more details.

  • PB1 (pin 38) will be configured as Bypass mode control (CPS) of the FEM (SKY66114-11), so that CPS will disable while the target power ≥ -1 dBm and enable while the target power < -1 dBm.
  • PA10 (pin 32) syncs with the TX signal and connects with both CTX and CHL for transmitting the High-power mode.
  • PA9 (pin 30) syncs with the RX signal and connects with CRX for the Receive mode.
  • CSD pulls high with fixed hardware control.
Note: PB1, PA10 and PA9 pins are used for internal FEM configuration.

  1. All controls must be logic ‘0’ to achieve the specified sleep current.
  2. X = Does not matter

While the device is in TX operation, the state will be in mode 2 and, depending on the target power, can switch to mode 5 automatically. While the device is in RX operation, the state will be in mode 1. While there is no RF operation, the state will be in mode 6 and stay in Sleep mode for power saving.
