5.1 Performance Parameters - Typical

  • System design power scheme must comply with both peak and average TX bursts
  • WLAN maximum VBAT current draw of 725 mA with MIMO continues burst configuration
  • Peak current VBAT can hit 850 mA during device calibration (1)
    • (1)
    • At wakeup, the WiLink™ 8 module performs the entire calibration sequence at the center of the 2.4-GHz band.
    • Once a link is established, calibration is performed periodically (every 5 minutes) on the specific tuned channel.
    • The maximum VBAT value is based on peak calibration consumption with a 30% margin.

For more information on WiLink8 current consumption and Max VBAT / VIO, see the WL18xxmod device-specific data sheet (http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/wireless_connectivity/wilink/products.page).
