The CC3000MODT requires a well-designed antenna to achieve optimal Wi-Fi performance. TI recommends using a monopole or dipole antenna with a minimum gain of 2dBi. The antenna should be placed at least 10mm away from the module's edges and should be impedance-matched to 50 ohms.
The CC3000MODT is a pre-certified module, which means it has already been tested and certified for Wi-Fi and regulatory compliance. However, the final product must still comply with regulatory requirements, such as FCC, CE, and IC. Engineers should ensure that their product meets these requirements by following the guidelines provided by TI and the relevant regulatory bodies.
The power consumption of the CC3000MODT varies depending on the mode. In transmit mode, the current consumption is around 240mA. In receive mode, it's around 140mA. In idle mode, it's around 50mA. In sleep mode, it's around 10mA. Engineers should consider these power consumption levels when designing their system's power management.
The CC3000MODT supports WPA2 encryption, which is the recommended security protocol for Wi-Fi connectivity. Engineers should implement secure Wi-Fi connectivity by using WPA2 encryption, setting a strong password, and using a secure authentication mechanism such as WPS or 802.1X.
The maximum range of the CC3000MODT's Wi-Fi connectivity depends on various factors such as the environment, antenna design, and transmission power. In ideal conditions, the range can be up to 100 meters. However, in real-world scenarios, the range is typically around 20-30 meters.
