3. Circuit
3.1. System
The WizFi360 has a very simple circuit. You can connect power to the WizFi360 and send and
receive data through UART1. And you have to pay attention to the four pins.
Figure 2. Reference Schematic
⚫Reset
Reset circuit offers to design with RC circuit. WizFi360 reset automatically by low level power. If
RESET pin controlled by external circuit, the WizFi360 will reset when the level is below 2.0V.
The low level needs to last more than 100µs.
⚫PA0
PA0 circuit offers to design 10k pull-up. PA0 is used as a boot pin, but it's use unlikely for normal
users. This pin is used at the factory stage. (Module production)
⚫PA1
PA1 circuit offers to design 10k pull-up. If PA1 is Low for 3 seconds, UART1's current parameter
changes to default value (please refer to the AT+UART_CUR command in WizFi360 AT command
manual).

WizFi360 Hardware Design Guide 7 / 13
⚫WP
WP circuit offers to design user configuration. You must control this pin if you are using standby
mode. If this pin is high in Standby mode, the WizFi360 is reset to the normal operating mode.
3.2. Power
WizFi360 requires the use of a power supply capable of supplying 3.0V to 3.6V and more than
500mA. Because WizFi360 operates normally from 3.0V to 3.6V, it consumes up to 230mA of
instantaneous current. The wiring width should not be less than 30mil.
The power stabilizing capacitor (100nF) should be placed close to the VCC pin.
3.3. UART
Figure 3. UART
⚫UART1
UART1 is the main communication UART. AT command communication is possible with
UART1 and data communication is possible.
⚫UART0
UART0 is not available to normal users. This UART is used at the factory stage (Module
production) and intended for internal firmware developers of the WizFi360.

3.4. ETC
This session is an additional circuit guide for using the WizFi360. You don't have to keep this
session. But if you need it, you design it.
⚫UART Flow Control
If you want to use UART Flow Control, you need to design a circuit as shown in Figure 3. PB9
is CTS1, PB10 is RTS1.
Figure 4. UART Flow Control
⚫UART Level Shifter
The UART voltage on the WizFi360 is 3.3V. However, your MCU may not have a voltage of
3.3V. If so you need a Level Shifter to connect the WizFi360 to your MCU. You can design a
Level Shifter circuit by referring to Figure 4. Connect your MCU’s UART voltage to the VCCIO
at Figure 4.
