1. AP6398XU Evaluation Board Introduction
AP6398XU Evaluation board (EVB) likes as figure1. That is designed for IEEE802.11
a/b/g/n 2x2 WLAN with integrated Bluetooth and FM application. It is subject to provide a
convenient environment for customer’s verification on WiFi or Bluetooth function. There
are many controller pins and reserved GPIO on Evaluation board which describes as
below.

Interface highlights:
1. U1: AP6398XU SIP module.
2. J1: UART interface connects with UART transport board for BT measuring.
3. J2: Enable(H) or disable(L) Bluetooth and WiFi function.
4. J6: VBAT / WL_VIO / BT_VIO for main system I/O power path.
5. J7: 5V DC mini USB input connector.
6. J8: Standard SDIO interfaces for Wi-Fi performance measured.
7. J11: WL_VIO power path for 1V8 or 3V3 selection.
8. Ct1: WLAN and BT control pins, strongly recommended WL_HWAKE(IRQ)
connected to MCU...

WIFI SDIO: Using external pull up resistors depends on the SDIO supply voltage. For
1.8V, the resistance range is 30KΩ~82KΩ. For 3.3V, its range from 21
KΩ~41 KΩ on the four data lines and the CMD line as the following circuitry.

Figure2. WiFi verification connection interface to Host SDIO
Hardware Setup:
Refer to Figure2 SDIO pin definition connects the J8 interface of AP6XXX
evaluation board to Host SDIO control interface.
Using pull high resistors (R6, R7, R10, R28, R29) that resistance is 30Kohm for
1.8V or 3.3V VDDIO pull up voltage. (Pull high resistors are un-necessary if at
verification phase.)
Connects an external antenna at SMA connector on the evaluation board.
Note to the VDDIO voltage level should be the same with GPIO voltage level of
Host CPU. (VDDIO 3.3V or 1.8V selection by jump J11)
WiFi software setup:
Please follow up software guideline of Ampak official released.

FCC Statement:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and a human
body.
ISED Statement:
For Canada, the “compliance statement and unlicensed device usage conditions” which must be shown in the user
manual has changed.
It should now read like this:
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference,
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
L’émetteur exempt de licence contenu dans le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Innovation, Sciences et
