VDD_36 is for operating of PR9000 RFID reader chipset which current consumption is about 150mA. VDDPA_36 is for operating of power amp which current consumption is 350mA typically. Additionally, decoupling capacitors should be placed as close as possible these pins. The decoupling capacitors should be placed in the same layer as the module, to avoid any additional parasitic inductance caused by vias. 3.2 Hardware Mode Control PRM90U10A provides normal mode and shut down mode. The mode can control by SHDNb(Pin 24). Normal mode should be controlled by SHDN pin to open which can activate the module. Otherwise, If SHDNb pin contact to ground, supplied power of the module is shut down internally. In shut down mode, all GPIO ports and UART ports should not input any signal and positive voltage. 3.3 UART The serial interface assigned to two pins. RXD1(Pin 13) is for receiving command from host and TXD1(Pin 14) is for transmitting response to host. Pin connection is shown as below figure. 9 December 2010 7 of 13…

ATTACHMENT FCC ID: Y3DPRM90U10A ** MPE Calculations ** The EUT will only be used with a separation of 20 centimeters or greater between the antenna and the body of the user. The MPE calculation for this exposure is shown below. The peak radiated output power (EIRP) is calculated as follows: EIRP = P + G EIRP = 23.58 dBm + (2.5)dBi EIRP = 26.08dBm Where, P = Power input to the antenna (mW) G = Power gain of the antenna (dBi) Power density at the specific separation: S = PG/(4R 2 π) S = (228.03 * 1.78) / (4 * 20 2 * π) S = 0.0807 mW/cm 2 Where, S = Maximum power density (mW/cm 2 ) P = Power input to the antenna (mW) G = Numeric power gain of the antenna R = Distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna (20cm = limit for MPE) The Maximum permissible exposure (MPE) for the general population is 1 mW/cm 2 . The power density at 20cm does not exceed the 1 mW/cm 2 limit. Therefore, the exposure condition is compliant with FCC rules. Estimated safe separation: R = √(PG / 4π) R = √(228.03 * 1.78/ 4π) R = 5.68Cm Where, P = Power input to the antenna (mW) G = Numeric power gain of the antenna R = Distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna (20cm = limit for MPE) The numeric gain(G) of the antenna with a gain specified in dB is determined by: G = Log -1 (dB antenna gain / 10) G = Log-1 ((2.5) / 10) G = 1.78
