RN1810/RN1810E

1.0

DEVICE OVERVIEW

The RN1810 and RN1810E are low-power, 2.4 GHz,

IEEE 802.11n compliant, surface mount modules

containing all associated RF components: crystal

oscillator, bypass and bias passives with integrated

MAC, baseband, RF and power amplifier, and built-in

hardware support for encryption. Refer to Figure 1-1.

The integrated module design frees the designer from

RF and antenna design tasks and regulatory compli-

ance testing, ultimately providing faster time to market.

RN1810 incorporates an on-board TCP/IP networking

stack, cryptographic accelerator, power management

subsystem, real-time clock, 2.4 GHz transceiver, and

RF power amplifier. With the module, designers can

embed Wi-Fi and networking functionality rapidly into

virtually any device.

The RN1810 provides cost and time-to-market savings

as a self-contained Internet-enabling solution. The

module has been designed to provide designers with a

simple Wi-Fi solution that features:

• Ease of integration and programming

• Vastly reduced development time

• Minimum system cost

• Long battery life

• Maximum value in a range of applications

The RN1810 is configured with a simple ASCII com-

mand language.

In the simplest configuration, the module requires only

power, ground and UART TX and RX connections. The

RN1810 module can interface to low-cost microcontrol-

lers using only two wires, UART TX and RX.

The RN1810 can independently maintain a low-power

wireless network connection. Ultra-low power usage

and flexible power management maximize the mod-

ule's lifetime in battery-operated devices. A wide oper-

ating temperature range allows use in indoor and

outdoor environments (industrial temperature range).

When operating in Sleep mode, the module minimizes

battery usage while still being able to respond to certain

events, including internal timers and WAKEUP signal.

Applications that make efficient use of the Sleep state

can extend battery life to multiple years.

The RN1810 module is approved for use with the inte-

grated PCB trace antenna. The RN1810E module is

approved for use with specific external antenna types

that are certified with the module. An ultra-small coaxial

connector (W.FL) is provided on the module for con-

nection to the external antenna. Refer to Section 3.3,

"External Antenna Types" for a listing of approved

antenna types.

The

RN1810/RN1810E

modules

received

the

regulatory approvals for modular devices in the United

States (FCC) and Canada (IC). Modular approval

removes the need for expensive RF and antenna

design, and enables the end user to place the RN1810/

RN1810E modules inside a finished product without

requiring a regulatory testing for an intentional radiator

(RF transmitter).

The RN1810/RN1810E module is an R&TTE Directive

assessed radio module for operation in Europe. The

module tests can be applied toward final product

certification and Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

Table 1-1 lists the RN1810 module's family types.
