WBR3S Module Datasheet

Product Overview

WBR3S is a low-power embedded Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE module that Tuya has developed. It consists of a highly integrated RF chip (RTL8720CS) and several peripheral components, with an embedded Wi-Fi network protocol stack, Bluetooth LE network protocol, and robust library functions. WBR3S is embedded with a low-power 32-bit CPU, 512 KB static random-access memory (SRAM), and 4 MB flash memory, and has extensive peripherals.
WBR3S is an RTOS platform that integrates all function libraries of the Wi-Fi MAC and TCP/IP protocols. You can develop embedded Wi-Fi products as required.

Antenna Information

###Antenna Type
WBR3S uses an onboard PCB antenna.

Antenna Interference Reduction

To ensure optimal Wi-Fi performance when the Wi-Fi module uses an onboard PCB antenna, it is recommended that the antenna be at least 15 mm away from other metal parts.
To prevent adverse impact on the antenna radiation performance, avoid copper or traces along the antenna area on the PCB. Ensure that there are no substrate media above or below the antenna and that copper is at a certain distance away from the antenna to maximize the antenna radiation performance.

GPIO Pin processing

Module individual pin (PA15 PA12, PA13, PA25, PA28, PA26) before the chip didn’t completely work. It will be instantaneous high level pulse, But everything is ok after the chip work .For these pins, if used directly as a driver of light source or relay, the following reference processing can be done to avoid the effect of instant burr during the power on.
Pull-down a 1K resistor at the output port of the pin, then series a diode, and the VOLTAGE of GPIO will drop to about 2.7V after passing the diode.The red frame represents the original drive tube on the customer bottom plate, diode D1 and drop 1K need to be added.
If the lamp class is driven directly, then the 10K resistor is pulled down from the gate of the MOS tube. If the lamp class is not driven directly and the PWM signal is not sent until the module is formally set up, then there is no need to add the pull-down resistor and diode.
If the relay is driven, the diode can be replaced with 0 ohm according to the actual situation.

Production Instructions

  1. Use an SMT placement machine to mount components to the stamp hole module that Tuya produces within 24 hours after the module is unpacked and the firmware is burned. If not, vacuum pack the module again. Bake the module before mounting components to the module.
    A.SMT placement equipment
    a)Reflow soldering machine
    b)Automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment
    c)Nozzle with a 6 mm to 8 mm diameter
    B.Baking equipment
    a)Cabinet oven
    b)Anti-static heat-resistant trays
    c)Anti-static heat-resistant gloves

  2. Storage conditions for a delivered module are as follows:
    A.The moisture-proof bag is placed in an environment where the temperature is below 30°C and the relative humidity is lower than 70%.
    B.The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is six months from the date when the product is packaged and sealed.
    C.The package contains a humidity indicator card (HIC).
    图片10

  3. Bake a module based on HIC status as follows when you unpack the module package:
    A.If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are blue, bake the module for 2 consecutive hours.
    B.If the 30% circle is pink, bake the module for 4 consecutive hours.
    C.If the 30% and 40% circles are pink, bake the module for 6 consecutive hours.
    D.If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are pink, bake the module for 12 consecutive hours.

  4. Baking settings:
    A.Baking temperature: 125±5°C
    B.Alarm temperature: 130°C
    C.SMT placement ready temperature after natural cooling: < 36°C
    D.Number of drying times: 1
    E.Rebaking condition: The module is not soldered within 12 hours after baking.

  5. Do not use SMT to process modules that have unpacked for over three months. Electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) is used for the PCBs. If the solder pads are exposed to the air for over three months, they will be oxidized severely and dry joints or solder skips may occur. Tuya is not liable for such problems and consequences.

  6. Before SMT placement, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures.

  7. To reduce the reflow defect rate, draw 10% of the products for visual inspection and AOI before first SMT placement to determine a proper oven temperature and component placement method. Draw 5 to 10 modules every hour from subsequent batches for visual inspection and AOI.

Recommended Oven Temperature Curve

Perform SMT placement based on the following reflow oven temperature curve. The highest temperature is 245°C.

This device have got a FCC ID:2ANDL-WBR3S.The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC?ID: 2ANDL-WBR3S”

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1)The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.

As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed.
