1-3-4 PIO Pins
The PIO pins are used to implement user defined input and output signals to and from the module such as external
interrupts, LED controlled outputs, and other user-defined I/Os. Each PIO can be independently controlled.

WL_PIO[11:10]: LED WLAN link activities.

WL_PIO[12]: Host wakeup.

WL_PIO[1]: WiFi External clock request out

Other PIOs: Reserved
1-3-5 WP Pin
WL_WP is write protection for internal EEPROM. The internal EEPROM stores calibration table, MAC address,
etc. for WiFi part. When the pin is pulled high, it protects the EEPROM content. If tied to VSS, normal memory
read/write operation is enabled.
The WiFi firmware does not incorporate any support for writing to the EEPROM during normal operation. This
significantly reduces the risk of spurious writes corrupting the contents of the EEPROM, and means it is not possible
to repair any damage that may occur. Hence, it is suggested that keep the pin, WL_WP, permanently pulled high to
minimize the risk of data corruption.

The external supply rails to apm6656 should have less than 10mV rms noise levels between 0 to 10 MHz. Single
tone frequencies are also to be avoided.
Transient response of external regulators used should be <= 5us for WiFi and <= 20us for Bluetooth, respectively.

apm6656 WiFi 802.11 b/g/n & BT4.0+EDR Dual Radio Module
Preliminary Product Information Data Sheet
1-5-1 WiFi Reset
WL_RESETn is an active low reset input that is internally filtered using the internal low frequency clock oscillator
to avoid spurious resets. A reset occurs after the signal has been asserted for between 250 and 375us. This pin may be
tied to WL_VDD_PADS_0_7 if unused; otherwise it should be asserted for at least 1ms to force a reset.
The power supply supervisor monitors WL_VDD_CORE (internal module voltage) to trigger a power-on-reset.
This occurs when the supply falls below 1.05V (typical) in normal operation or 0.825V (typical) in deep sleep, and ends
when the supply exceeds 1.10V (typical). Glitches of up to 30mV and 2.5us duration, which could be caused by large
load steps, will not trigger a reset.
Each of the internal processors has its own independent watchdog timer to detect and recover from erroneous
software operation. These are typically configured with a timeout of 1.5s, but this may be increased up to a maximum of
64s for reduced power consumption. The watchdogs are enabled at power-on and continue operating while WiFi is in
deep sleep.
During all forms of reset most digital I/O pins (including both bidirectional pins and dedicated inputs or outputs)
default to high impedance with weak internal pull-downs. The only exceptions are WL_RESETn and WL_SPI_CS
which both have pull-ups, and the SDIO/CSPI bus which is on an independent reset domain. The SDIO/CSPI host
interface is only fully reset by the WL_RESETn pin or the power supply supervisor; other forms of reset leave the host
interface initialized but simply clear the I/O Enable bit for function 1.
Following a reset, WiFi automatically generates safe clocks for internal use. If an external reference clock is
connected to WL_CLK then this is assumed to be at the maximum supported frequency, otherwise the PLL free runs at
a nominal frequency. In either case the generated clock will be slower than in normal operation, but this is sufficient for
safely booting and configuring the IC.

The APM6656 the reset function is internally tied to the BT_EN pin. The BT_EN pin is an active low reset. To
ensure a full reset the reset signal should be asserted for a period greater than 5ms.
A warm reset function is also available under software control. After a warm reset the RAM data remains
available.

4 Assembly Guideline
4-1 Recommended Mounting Pad Design (Top View)
The following figure illustrates the recommended mounting pad design for apm6656.
TOP VIEW (mm)
4-2 Recommendation for Stencil Aperture in SMT Process
Please follow general QFN stencil design guideline. Some rules of thumb are highlighted below.
• The LGA pads should NOT be flooded over with copper, they should be connected into the plane with a track
width of approx 50% of the pad width, this will mean more heat will be available at the joint.
Track lengths should
obviously be minimized, we would generally use about 0.3mm on external layers.

Preliminary Product Information Data Sheet
• The solder paste pattern for the internal Tab pads could be split into 4 smaller segments for the 2 large pads, and
2 smaller segments for the smaller pads, this should have the effect of preventing the paste from pooling into one area,
and hence minimize the likelihood of the pads being held away from each other. We use a rule of thumb of 50% solder
paste area in relation to Tab copper area (this only applies to tab pads under the device – not the signal pads).
• The thickness of the solder paste stencil has implications on solder joint quality as well, we do not have the
knowledge on what stencil should be specified.
• Ensure they are using a good appropriate flux, and the correct reflow profile for unleaded (basically +20C above
leaded) which is also uniform in nature.
Violating the basic rules might cause problems. For example, if the stencil apertures of the internal ground planes
are improperly big, they would hold more solders in SMT process and may cause the module peripheral pads
un-contacted to the main board. To improve this situation, apmcomm suggests the stencil opening shown as follows.

4-3 Baking condition recommendation before IR reflow
Baking condition for apm6656 module:
I: 125°C/4 hrs baking is necessary for apm6656 module before SMT process. After baking treatment the modules
can be stored in the environment under 30°C and 60% RH for 48 hrs. If the storage time is over 48 hrs, the
modules need to be re-baked using the same condition again.
II: In the event that the sealed bag is damaged on receipt of the modules, the baking condition should be changed to
125°C/8 hrs.
4-4 Recommendation for Reflow Profile
Maximum reflow temperature is 250°C.
