Pin Attributes
Table 3-1 describes the CC3100 pins.
NOTE
If an external device drives a positive voltage to signal pads when the CC3100 device is not
powered, DC current is drawn from the other device. If the drive strength of the external
device is adequate, an unintentional wakeup and boot of the CC3100 device can occur. To
prevent current draw, TI recommends one of the following:
All devices interfaced to the CC3100 device must be powered from the same power rail
as the CC3100 device.
Use level-shifters between the CC3100 device and any external devices fed from other
independent rails.
The nRESET pin of the CC3100 device must be held low until the VBAT supply to the
device is driven and stable.

Operating temperature is limited by crystal frequency variation.

When operating at an ambient temperature of over 75C, the transmit duty cycle must remain below 50% to avoid the auto-protect
feature of the power amplifier. If the auto-protect feature triggers, the device takes a maximum of 60 seconds to restart the transmission.

To ensure WLAN performance, ripple on the 2.1- to 3.3-V supply must be less than 300 mV.
To ensure WLAN performance, ripple on the 1.85-V supply must be less than 2% (40 mV).

Brown-Out and Black-Out
The device enters a brown-out condition whenever the input voltage dips below VBROWN (see Figure 4-1 and
Figure 4-2). This condition must be considered during design of the power supply routing, especially if operating
from a battery. High-current operations (such as a TX packet) cause a dip in the supply voltage, potentially
triggering a brown-out. The resistance includes the internal resistance of the battery, contact resistance of the
battery holder (4 contacts for a 2 x AA battery) and the wiring and PCB routing resistance.
Figure 4-1. Brown-Out and Black-Out Levels (1 of 2)
Figure 4-2. Brown-Out and Black-Out Levels (2 of 2)

In the brown-out condition, all sections of the device shut down except for the Hibernate module (including the
32-kHz RTC clock), which remains on. The current in this state can reach approximately 400 A.
The black-out condition is equivalent to a hardware reset event in which all states within the device are lost.
Table 4-1 lists the brown-out and black-out voltage levels.

TX power level = 0 implies maximum power (see Figure 4-3 through Figure 4-5). TX power level = 4 implies output power backed off
approximately 4 dB.
The CC3100 system is a constant power-source system. The active current numbers scale based on the VBAT voltage supplied.
External serial-flash-current consumption is not included.
The RX current is measured with a 1-Mbps throughput rate.
DTIM = 1
For the 1.85-V mode, the Hibernate current is higher by 50 A across all operating modes because of leakage into the PA and analog
power inputs.
The complete calibration can take up to 17 mJ of energy from the battery over a time of 24 ms . Calibration is performed sparingly,
typically when coming out of Hibernate and only if temperature has changed by more than 20C or the time elapsed from prior
calibration is greater than 24 hours.

4.11 Timing and Switching Characteristics

4.11.1 Power Supply Sequencing
For proper operation of the CC3100 device, perform the recommended power-up sequencing as follows:
1. Tie VBAT (pins 37, 39, 44) and VIO (pins 54 and 10) together on the board.
2. Hold the RESET pin low while the supplies are ramping up. TI recommends using a simple RC circuit (100K ||
0.1 F, RC = 10 ms).
3. For an external RTC clock, ensure that the clock is stable before RESET is deasserted (high).
For timing diagrams, see Section 4.11.2, Reset Timing.

4.11.3 Clock Specifications

The CC3100 device requires two separate clocks for its operation:
A slow clock running at 32.768 kHz is used for the RTC.
A fast clock running at 40 MHz is used by the device for the internal processor and the WLAN subsystem.
The device features internal oscillators that enable the use of cheaper crystals rather than dedicated TCXOs for
these clocks. The RTC can also be fed externally to provide reuse of an existing clock on the system and reduce
overall cost.

4.11.3.1 Slow Clock Using Internal Oscillator

The RTC crystal connected on the device supplies the free-running slow clock. The accuracy of the slow clock
frequency must be 32.768 kHz 150 ppm. In this mode of operation, the crystal is tied between RTC_XTAL_P
(pin 51) and RTC_XTAL_N (pin 52) with a suitable load capacitance.
Figure 4-9 shows the crystal connections for the slow clock.

When an RTC clock oscillator is present in the system, the CC3100 device can accept this clock directly as an
input. The clock is fed on the RTC_XTAL_P line and the RTC_XTAL_N line is held to VIO. The clock must be a
CMOS-level clock compatible with VIO fed to the device.

is connected to WLAN_XTAL_P (pin 23). WLAN_XTAL_N (pin 22) is connected to GND. The external TCXO/XO
can be enabled by TCXO_EN (pin 21) from the device to optimize the power consumption of the system.
If the TCXO does not have an enable input, an external LDO with an enable function can be used. Using the
LDO improves noise on the TCXO power supply.

Host goes to sleep but the UART module has receiver start-edge detection for auto wakeup and does
not lose data.
Host can always receive any amount of data transmitted by the SimpleLink device because there is no
flow control in this direction.
Because there is no full flow control, the host cannot stop the SimpleLink device to send its data; thus, the
following parameters must be carefully considered:
Max baud rate
RX character interrupt latency and low-level driver jitter buffer

Power-Management Subsystem
The CC3100 power-management subsystem contains DC-DC converters to accommodate the differing
voltage or current requirements of the system.
Digital DC-DC
Input: VBAT wide voltage (2.1 to 3.6 V) or preregulated 1.85 V
ANA1 DC-DC
Input: VBAT wide voltage (2.1 to 3.6 V)
In preregulated 1.85-V mode, the ANA1 DC-DC converter is bypassed.
PA DC-DC
Input: VBAT wide voltage (2.1 to 3.6 V)
In preregulated 1.85-V mode, the PA DC-DC converter is bypassed.
In preregulated 1.85-V mode, the ANA1 DC-DC and PA DC-DC converters are bypassed. The CC3100
device is a single-chip WLAN radio solution used on an embedded system with a wide-voltage supply
range. The internal power management, including DC-DC converters and LDOs, generates all of the
voltages required for the device to operate from a wide variety of input sources. For maximum flexibility,
the device can operate in the modes described in the following sections.
5.4.1
VBAT Wide-Voltage Connection

In the wide-voltage battery connection, the device is powered directly by the battery. All other voltages
required to operate the device are generated internally by the DC-DC converters. This scheme is the most
common mode for the device as it supports wide-voltage operation from 2.1 to 3.6 V (for electrical
connections, see Section 6.1.1, Typical Application CC3100 Wide-Voltage Mode).
28

CC3100
www.ti.com
5.4.2
Preregulated 1.85 V
The preregulated 1.85-V mode of operation applies an external regulated 1.85 V directly at the pins 10,
25, 33, 36, 37, 39, 44, 48, and 54 of the device. The VBAT and the VIO are also connected to the 1.85-V
supply. This mode provides the lowest BOM count version in which inductors used for PA DC-DC and
ANA1 DC-DC (2.2 and 1 H) and a capacitor (22 F) can be avoided. For electrical connections, see
Section 6.1.2, Typical Application CC3100 Preregulated 1.85-V Mode.
In the preregulated 1.85-V mode, the regulator providing the 1.85 V must have the following
characteristics:
Load current capacity 900 mA.
Line and load regulation with <2% ripple with 500 mA step current and settling time of <4 s with the
load step.
The regulator must be placed very close to the CC3100 device so that the IR drop to the device is very
low.
5.5
Low-Power Operating Modes

This section describes the low-power modes supported by the device to optimize battery life.
5.5.1
Low-Power Deep Sleep

The low-power deep-sleep (LPDS) mode is an energy-efficient and transparent sleep mode that is entered
automatically during periods of inactivity based on internal power optimization algorithms. The device can
wake up in less than 3 ms from the internal timer or from any incoming host command. Typical battery
drain in this mode is 115 A. During LPDS mode, the device retains the software state and certain
configuration information. The operation is transparent to the external host; thus, no additional handshake
is required to enter or exit this sleep mode.
5.5.2
Hibernate
The hibernate mode is the lowest power mode in which all of the digital logic is power-gated. Only a small
section of the logic powered directly by the main input supply is retained. The real-time clock (RTC) is kept
running and the device wakes up once the nHIB line is asserted by the host driver. The wake-up time is
longer than LPDS mode at about 50 ms.
NOTE
Wake-up time can be extended to 75 ms if a patch is loaded from the serial flash.
5.6
5.6.1
Memory
External Memory Requirements
The CC3100 device maintains a proprietary file system on the SFLASH. The CC3100 file system stores
the service pack file, system files, configuration files, certificate files, web page files, and user files. By
using a format command through the API, users can provide the total size allocated for the file system.
The starting address of the file system cannot be set and is always located at the beginning of the
SFLASH. The applications microcontroller must access the SFLASH memory area allocated to the file
system directly through the CC3100 file system. The applications microcontroller must not access the
SFLASH memory area directly.
The file system manages the allocation of SFLASH blocks for stored files according to download order,
which means that the location of a specific file is not fixed in all systems. Files are stored on SFLASH
using human-readable file names rather than file IDs. The file system API works using plain text, and file
encryption and decryption is invisible to the user. Encrypted files can be accessed only through the file
system.

29
CC3100
www.ti.com
All file types can have a maximum of 128 supported files in the file system. All files are stored in blocks of
4KB and thus use a minimum of 4KB of flash space. Encrypted files with fail-safe support and optional
security are twice the original size and use a minimum of 8KB. Encrypted files are counted as fail safe in
terms of space. The maximum file size is 16MB.
Table 5-2 lists the SFLASH size recommendations.

The CC3100 device supports JEDEC specification SFDP (serial flash device parameters). The following
SFLASH devices are verified for functionality with the CC3100 device in addition to the ones in the
reference design:
Micron (N25Q128-A13BSE40): 128Mb
Spansion (S25FL208K): 8Mb
Winbond (W25Q16V): 16Mb
Adesto (AT25DF081A): 8Mb
Macronix (MX25L12835F-M2): 128Mb
For compatibility with the CC3100 device, the SFLASH device must support the following commands:
Command 0x9F (read the device ID [JEDEC]). Procedure: SEND 0x9F, READ 3 bytes.
Command 0x05 (read the status of the SFLASH). Procedure: SEND 0x05, READ 1 byte. Assume bit 0
is busy and bit 1 is write enable.
Command 0x06 (set write enable). Procedure: SEND 0x06, read status until write-enable bit is set.
Command 0xC7 (chip erase). Procedure: SEND 0xC7, read status until busy bit is cleared.
Command 0x03 (read data). Procedure: SEND 0x03, SEND 24-bit address, read n bytes.
Command 0x02 (write page). Procedure: SEND 0x02, SEND 24-bit address, write n bytes (0<n<256).
Command 0x20 (sector erase). Procedure: SEND 0x20, SEND 24-bit address, read status until busy
bit is cleared. Sector size is assumed to be always 4K.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6)
Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.
