4. Mechanical and Interface Design
The PAN186CV is designed for space-constrained applications.
- Form Factor: It features a compact shielded package. The shielding is crucial as it prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting the MCU or other components on the host board.
- Interface: Communication with a host microcontroller is achieved via a standard SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). This allows for high-speed data transfer and easy configuration of the internal registers.
- Antenna: Depending on the specific SKU, the module may feature an integrated chip antenna or require an external antenna connected via a U.FL connector or PCB footprint.
Specifications
- Supply Voltage: Typically 3.3V
- Operating Temperature Range: -25 to +75°C (though this can vary, it's essential to check the datasheet for the most accurate information)
- Dimensions: The module comes in a compact form factor, suitable for surface mounting on PCBs.
