Product details

Overview

AMW004-E01 from ACKme Networks is an evaluation board designed to host and demonstrate the AMW004 embedded Wi-Fi networking module. It provides full access to all 54 pins, includes a u.FL antenna connector for external RF validation, supports onboard PCB antenna characterization, and enables rapid prototyping of secure 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n applications in industrial monitoring and smart home systems.

For engineers reviewing the AMW004-E01 datasheet, AMW004-E01 pinout, AMW004-E01 application, or AMW004-E01 equivalent, this board delivers verified RF radiation patterns, pre-configured power delivery per VDD_3V3 and VDD_3V3_WIFI requirements, UART-based WiConnect integration, and thermal validation across –30°C to +85°C operating range - critical for evaluating real-world wireless sensor node deployment.

Technical Context

The AMW004-E01 is a carrier board engineered specifically for the AMW004 module, not a standalone IC or discrete component. Its design validates antenna performance using standardized (0°, 180°) X/Y/Z radiation plots measured with the AMW004 mounted in situ, and incorporates recommended ground fill beneath the module, castellated edges near the antenna end, and strict 4–5 mm clearance zones around the antenna region.

It implements the exact power architecture specified for the AMW004: dual 3.3 V supplies (VDD_3V3 and VDD_3V3_WIFI) with ≥10 µF bulk capacitance per rail, mandatory grounding of pins 44–54 for WLAN integrity, and hardware flow control support via GPIO_15 (UART1_RTS) and GPIO_16 (UART1_CTS) for reliable high-speed serial communication with host processors.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Form Factor	Evaluation board for AMW004 module; not a component - enables full functional validation of Wi-Fi subsystem, MCU I/O, and RF performance.
Antenna Interface	Onboard PCB antenna + u.FL connector for certified external monopole antennas (ACA_1SSRPP_2400, ACA_4HSRPP_2458); radiation pattern measured on AMW004-E01.
Power Delivery	Supports dual 3.3 V rails (VDD_3V3, VDD_3V3_WIFI) with ≥10 µF bulk capacitance per supply; grounding of pins 44–54 required for optimal WLAN RF stability.
Interface Access	Full breakout of all 54 AMW004 pins including UART1 (GPIO_23/GPIO_24), SPI (GPIO_30–GPIO_32), 12 wake-capable GPIOs, and 32 kHz clock output (OSC_32K_OUT).
Thermal Validation	Validated for AMW004 operation across –30°C to +85°C ambient; enables thermal derating verification of WLAN sensitivity (–1.5 dB below –20°C/+65°C) and transmit power.
Regulatory Support	FCC/IC modular approval compliant; enables end-product certification without retesting AMW004 RF subsystem when integrated per design guidelines.

Manufacturer

ACKme Networks was a U.S.-based developer of embedded Wi-Fi solutions focused on simplifying wireless integration for resource-constrained devices. The company specialized in self-contained modules combining ARM Cortex-M4 MCUs with Broadcom Wi-Fi SoCs.

The AMW004-E01 belongs to ACKme's evaluation platform product line, purpose-built to accelerate time-to-proof-of-concept for the AMW004 module by providing validated RF layout, calibrated power delivery, and out-of-box WiConnect UART interface support.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the AMW004-E01?

The AMW004-E01 is an evaluation board designed exclusively for the AMW004 embedded Wi-Fi module. It provides mechanical mounting, electrical interfacing, antenna validation (including radiation pattern measurement per (0°, 180°) X/Y/Z plots), and reference circuitry for power, UART, and wake signaling - enabling engineers to verify full system behavior before custom PCB design.

Does the AMW004-E01 include the AMW004 module?

Yes - the AMW004-E01 is defined in the source documentation as "AMW004 module mounted on an AMW004-E01 evaluation board." It ships with the AMW004 module pre-soldered and fully functional, allowing immediate use with host microcontrollers via UART or SPI interfaces.

Can the AMW004-E01 be used for FCC/IC compliance testing?

Yes - the AMW004-E01 implements the exact layout, grounding, and antenna configuration validated under FCC Part 15 Subpart C and IC RSS-247 modular approvals. When used per ACKme's design guidelines (e.g., no modifications, proper enclosure clearance), it serves as a compliant reference for end-product certification.

What antenna options does the AMW004-E01 support?

The AMW004-E01 supports both the onboard PCB antenna (3.18 dBi gain, radiation pattern measured on this board) and certified external monopole antennas via its u.FL connector - specifically ACA_1SSRPP_2400 (0.6 dBi) and ACA_4HSRPP_2458 (1.0 dBi), both listed in the official datasheet.

How is power delivered to the AMW004 on the AMW004-E01?

The AMW004-E01 provides separate 3.3 V supply connections for VDD_3V3 (MCU subsystem) and VDD_3V3_WIFI (WLAN subsystem), each requiring ≥10 µF bulk capacitance. The board enforces the datasheet requirement that both rails operate at identical voltage during Wi-Fi operation and grounds pins 44–54 to maintain RF stability.
