1Functional description
1.1 Overview
The VERA-P1 series are compact, embedded transceiver modules that enables development of
electronics for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication systems. These automotive grade
modules are designed for applications such as traffic safety, intelligent traffic management and
entertainment. The modules can be used for both in-vehicle units (OBU - On Board Unit) and
infrastructure (RSU - Road Side Unit). They provide superior performance compared to V2X systems
based on consumer-grade Wi-Fi chipsets, especially at high vehicle speeds and in non-line-of-sight
(NLOS) conditions.
The VERA-P1 series includes an integrated MAC/LLC/Baseband processor and the required RF
front-end components. The module is connected to a host processor through USB or SPI interface.
Both interfaces can be used for data communication and firmware download.

Data rates 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27 Mbps
Antenna diversity (VERA-P173, VERA-P174) –CDD for TX and MRC for RX mode
TX output power from 0 to +23 dBm (Class C), RX sensitivity -98 dBm at 3 Mbps
Power supply 3.3 V and 5.0 V, 5 W
Operation temperature -40 °C to +95 °C
Dimensions 29.6 x 24.8 x 3.5 mm
1
SPI is not recommended as the main host interface for communication due to performance limitations.
2
Support for 20 MHz mode is planned for future firmware releases subject to certain limitations, as the requirements for 20
MHz operation have not been fully specified.

2Host interfaces
2.1 USB interface
The VERA-P1 series module supports a USB 2.0 high-speed interface for firmware loading (booting)
and high speed data transfer (> 200 Mbps). The USB interface of the module is powered with 3.3 V
supply voltage. The module acts as a device on the USB bus.
2.2 SPI interface
The VERA-P1 series module supports an SPI interface for firmware loading (booting) and data
communication. Firmware can be loaded by the host processor while the module operates as a slave
or from the FLASH memory while the module is in the master mode. The interface is capable of full-
duplex operation in master or slave mode. The maximum clock rate is 50 MHz in master mode, and
25 MHz in slave mode
3
.
⚠Due to performance limitations, it is recommended not to use the SPI interface as the main host
interface for communication and operation of the module.
3
SPI host interface for data communication in slave mode is tested only with 15 MHz clock rate.

Table 9 shows the Highway NLoS (Non-line-of-sight) channel parameters that are used to obtain the
receiver sensitivity values in Table 8. This channel was used in RF testing at the third ETSI Plug test
(CMS3).
Each tap is faded using Pure Doppler, but the second antenna has a Doppler increased by 11 Hz,
which prevents phase synchronization of channels. The RX Power listed in Table 8 refers to the power
of Tap 0.

To protect the module against permanent damage caused by overheating, the transmit power is derated at high
temperature. The derating depends on the RX/TX time ratio.
