2: Hardware and Software Description
The xPico 200 series is a highly integrated module that includes a Cortex R4 controller, 802.11
a/b/g/n MAC/BB, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC, Bluetooth 4.2 (on xPico 250/270), RAM, flash, and
two U.FL antenna connectors or a single on-module antenna (on the xPico 240 only). xPico 270
adds 802.11ac.
The module also includes the following data communication interfaces:
One 10/100Mbps Ethernet MAC with RMII interface for connection to an external PHY
One USB 2.0 high speed Host/Device port
One 300 to 4Mbps UART with hardware flow control
One SPI Slave port operating up to 50 MHz clock rate (5 Mbps application throughput)
Up to 10 GPIO lines
The xPico 200 series operates on 3.3V power with 3.3V logic, and has a built-in voltage
supervisory circuit.
xPico 200 series offers two main variants depending on the connectivity interfaces available:
xPico 240 - Provides dual-band 802.11abgn Wi-Fi and Ethernet combo
xPico 250 - Provides dual-band 802.11abgn Wi-Fi, Ethernet and dual-mode Bluetooth
(Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy)
xPico 270 - Provides dual-band 802.11ac/abgn Wi-Fi, Ethernet and dual-mode Bluetooth
(Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy)
The xPico 200 comes in two form factors:
Small form factor SMT module
Edge connector module with standard connector
xPico 240 has two antenna options:
Two U.FL for connection to external antennas for single stream diversity. See
Chapter 7: Antenna Connection Options for recommended antennas.
Single on-module antenna
xPico 250 and xPico 270 have one antenna option:
Two U.FL for connection to external antennas. One antenna dedicated for Wi-Fi and
one dedicated for BT. See Chapter 7: Antenna Connection Options for recommended
antennas.
