New Product Bulletin Wireless LAN Module with Flash Memory BP3599 Enable wireless LAN communication by simply connecting to existing sets Product Outline The BP3599 takes the IEEE802.11b/g/n BP3591 wireless LAN module with built-in antenna and flash memory. In addition, the antenna design is identical to the BP3591, eliminating the need for high-frequency circuitry, and the BP3599 is pin-compatible with the BP3591, making replacement easy. The internal flash memory comes pre-loaded with firmware including TCP/IP stack, and the module is already certified* for use in Japan and the US, enabling implementation possible. *Please inquire regarding applicable radio laws in other countries ■ All-in-one Built-in antenna eliminates the need for high-frequency designs wireless LAN module Connect an external antenna via coaxial connector Integrated flash memory includes firmware MAC address information contained in the macro QR code 33.1mm M2 screw holes for mounting Complies with applicable radio laws in Japan and the US MAC address included before shipment Wireless LAN Standards IEEE802.11b,IEEE802.11g IEEE802.11n,IEEE802.11i Host Interface UART (~921600bps) Integrated Flash Memory 4Mbit serial flash memory Transmission Frequency 2,400MHz to 2,483.5MHz (ch1-ch13) IEEE802.11b : 15dBm±2dB Transmission Power 0.5mm-pitch 34pin low profile connector 24mm Front ■ Specifications Rear Firmware, including the TCP/IP stack, is pre-loaded in the internal flash memory. Stations and access points are written in Regions 1 and 2, respectively, making it easy to change operating modes by switching the FLASH_SEL pin from High to Low and vice versa.

Current Consumption Reception : 200mA Typ. Sleep : 500μA ■ Firmware with TCP/IP stack BP3599 BP3591 BP3580 3.3V HOST MCU Flash Memory [Firmware Included] OSC LDO LDO BB/MAC RF Operating Environment Temperature : -40 to +85°C Humidity : <85% (No condensation) WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) PIN/PBC methods Radio Act Certification Japan and the US (Japan only when using external antenna) Configuration Options A dedicated 2.54mm-pitch conversion board is available, while adding an optional external antenna improves communication distance and enables mounting in sets with metallic housings for broader applicability. Dedicated Conversion Board EEPROM The firmware written in the flash memory includes protocols essential for wireless LAN communication, such as WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPS. In addition, the pre-loaded TCP/IP stack enables both wireless LAN and network processing, making it easy to add IP communication to sets that previously could not support wireless LAN due to insufficient microcontroller processing capability or other restrictions. External Antenna Applications • Industrial equipment, sensor networks, home networks • Wireless LAN routers and peripheral devices • Smartphones and the like • Systems that could not support wireless LAN due to insufficient MCU • Systems that could not support wireless LAN due to costs Support:http://micro.rohm.com/en/download_support/wireless_lan_system/ 16th October,2012. 10.2012
