Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the WL1837MODGIMOCT Design Guide, which includes guidelines for component placement, routing, and grounding to ensure optimal performance and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The WL1837MODGIMOCT has a built-in coexistence mechanism that allows Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to operate simultaneously. To configure coexistence, use the TI's WiLink 8 software development kit (SDK) and follow the guidelines in the WL1837MODGIMOCT User's Guide.
The WL1837MODGIMOCT is rated for operation from -40°C to 85°C, but it's recommended to operate within the 0°C to 70°C range for optimal performance and reliability.
The WL1837MODGIMOCT supports antenna diversity, which can improve Wi-Fi performance. To implement antenna diversity, use the TI's WiLink 8 SDK and follow the guidelines in the WL1837MODGIMOCT User's Guide, which includes examples of antenna diversity configurations.
The power consumption of the WL1837MODGIMOCT varies depending on the operating mode. In Wi-Fi mode, the typical power consumption is around 350mA. In Bluetooth mode, it's around 100mA. In standby mode, it's around 10mA. Refer to the WL1837MODGIMOCT datasheet for more detailed power consumption information.
