Pin definition

Illustration of the arrangement of general pins:

Pin number	Symbol	I/O type	Function
1	3V3	P	Power supply pin (3.3 V)
2	IO5	I/O	Same with module Silkscreen 05, GPIO_05, which corresponds to GPIO 5 (Pin 24 ) of IC
3	GND	P	Power supply reference ground
4	IO4	I/O	Same with module Silkscreen 04, GPIO_04, which corresponds to GPIO 4 (Pin 16) of IC
5	RX	I/O	UART0_RXD (used to display the internal information of the module)
6	IO13	I/O	Same with module Silkscreen 13, GPIO_13, which corresponds to MTCK (Pin 12) of IC
7	TX	I/O	UART0_TXD (used to display the internal information of the module)
8	ADC	AI	Same with module Silkscreen AD, ADC interface, a 10-bit-precision SAR ADC
9	IO12	I/O	Same with module Silkscreen 12, GPIO_12, which corresponds to MTDI (Pin 10 ) of IC
10	RST	I/O	Hardware reset pin (active low, a resistor has been pulled up internally)
11	IO14	I/O	Same with module Silkscreen 14, GPIO_14, which corresponds to MTMS (Pin 9 ) of IC

Note:

• P indicates power supply pins, I/O indicates input/output pins, and AI indicates analog input pins.
• RST is only a module reset pin and cannot be used for clearing information about Wi-Fi network configuration.
• Pin AD can only be used as an ADC interface but cannot be used as a common IO interface. Once not used, it needs to be pulled up. As an ADC input interface, the input voltage range is 0 to 1.0 V.
• UART0 is a user-side serial interface. When the module is enabled, there is information output from the user-side serial interface, which can be neglected.

Definitions of test points

Illustration on test pins:

Pin number	Symbol	I/O type	Function
12	IO4	I/O	GPIO_04, which corresponds to GPIO 4 (Pin 16) of IC
13	IO13	I/O	GPIO_13, which corresponds to MTCK (Pin 12) of IC
14	IO2	I/O	UART1_TXD, (an interface for displaying information about the module)
15	RST	I/O	Reset pin
16	IO5	I/O	GPIO_05, which corresponds to GPIO 5 (Pin 24) of IC
17	IO0	I/O	GPIO_0 (in the module power-on initialization process, use with caution)

Note:

• I/O indicates input/output pins.
• When IO0 is pulled up, the module runs normally. When IO0 is at a low level, the module is in the state of firmware programming.
• Test pins are not recommended for use.

Antenna

Antenna type

TYWE2S uses an onboard PCB antenna with a gain of 3.0 dBi.

Antenna interference reduction

To ensure optimal Wi-Fi performance when the Wi-Fi module uses an onboard PCB antenna, it is recommended that the antenna be at least 15 mm away from other metal parts.

To ensure antenna performance, the PCB should not be routed or clad with copper in the antenna area. The main points of the layout: 1. Make sure that there is no substrate medium directly below or above the printed antenna. 2. Make sure that the area around the printed antenna is far away from the metal copper skin, so as to ensure the radiation effect of the antenna to the greatest extent.

Antenna connector specifications

There is no antenna connector for this module at the moment.

Recommended PCB layout

Production instructions

• For the in-line module developed by Tuya, the wave soldering equipment is most preferred and manual soldering is less preferred. After being unpacked, the module must be soldered within 24 hours. Otherwise, it must be put into the drying cupboard where the RH is not greater than 10%, or it needs to be packaged under vacuum again and record the exposure time (the total exposure time cannot exceed 168 hours).

• Soldering equipment and materials:

  • Wave soldering equipment
  • Wave soldering fixture
  • Constant-temperature soldering iron
  • Tin bar, tin wire, and flux
  • Oven temperature tester

• Baking equipment:

  • Cabinet oven
  • Anti-static heat-resistant pallets
  • Anti-static heat-resistant gloves

• The module needs to be baked in the following cases:

  • The vacuum packing bag was found to be damaged before being unpacked.
  • There is no humidity indicator card (HIC) in the vacuum packing bag.
  • After being unpacked, 10% and above circles on the HIC become pink.
  • The total exposure time has been more than 168 hours since unpacking.
  • More than 12 months have passed since the sealing date of the bag.

• Baking settings:

  • Temperature: 40°C and ≤ 5% RH for reel package and 125°C and ≤5% RH for tray package (please use the heat-resistant tray rather than a plastic container)

  • Time: 168 hours for reel package and 12 hours for tray package

  • Alarm temperature: 50°C for reel package and 135°C for tray package

  • Production-ready temperature after natural cooling: < 36°C

  • Re-baking situation: If a module remains unused for over 168 hours after being baked, it needs to be baked again.

  • If a batch of modules is not baked within 168 hours, do not use the wave soldering to solder them. Because these modules are Level-3 moisture-sensitive devices, they are very likely to get damp when exposed beyond the allowable time. In this case, if they are soldered at high temperatures, it may result in device failure or poor soldering.

    If this batch of modules is not baked within 168 hours, do not use the wave soldering to solder them. Because the modules are 3-level moisture-sensitive components, they are very likely to get damp when exposed outside. In this case, if they are soldered at high temperatures, it may result in component failure or poor soldering.

• In the whole production process, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures.

• To guarantee the quality of products, you must pay attention to the following items:

  • The amount of soldering flux.
  • The height of the wave peak.
  • Whether the tin slag and copper content in the wave soldering tank exceed standards.
  • Whether the window and thickness of the wave soldering fixture are appropriate.
  • Whether the wave soldering oven temperature curve is reasonable.

Recommended oven temperature curve and temperature

For oven temperature setting, refer to oven temperatures for wave soldering. The peak temperature is 260°C±5°C. The wave soldering temperature curve is shown below:

Recommended soldering temperature:

Recommended wave soldering oven temperature		Recommended manual soldering temperature
Preheat temperature	80 to 130 °C	Soldering temperature	360±20°C
Preheat time	75 to 100s	Soldering time	＜3s/point
Peak contact time	3 to 5s	NA	NA
Temperature of tin cylinder	260±5°C	NA	NA
Ramp-up slope	≤2°C/s	NA	NA
Ramp-down slope	≤6°C/s	NA	NA

Storage conditions

Storage conditions for a delivered module are as follows:

• The moisture-proof bag is placed in an environment where the temperature is below 40°C and the relative humidity is lower than 90%.

• The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is 12 months from the date when the product is packaged and sealed.

• The package contains a humidity indicator card (HIC).
