6. Secure Element (SE) interface

I2C Connections with SE for secure ranging are described below.

Pin functionality
SE_1 SCL
10k pull up to VDD 1V8 to be tune according to I2C line shape analysis
SE_2 SDA (secure keys generated by SE exchange with Helios)
10k pull up to VDD 1V8 to be tune according to I2C line shape analysis
GPIO8 Host Secure Element interrupt (IRQ flag to indicate that data are
ready to be shared via I2C)

7. Antenna switch control GPIOS

Specific GPIOs are used for antenna switching. Fast switching antenna capability must be
available offering the capability to switch the antenna between transmitted packets.

Pin Supply functionality

reference
EF1 VDD_IO High switching speed general purpose IO used for
EF2 antenna external switches, switching time is dependent
on the end control point, 125ns when controlled by
ARM, 33ns when controlled by the DSP
Table 4. Antenna switch control GPIOS

8. Power interface

UWB SR150 Module needs several external power supplies to work.

9. RF connections
SR150 has 2 RF inputs (RX1, RX2) and one RF output (TX). These 3 RF ports can be
connected to 2 antennas. As TX and RX2 share one antenna, an RF SPDT switch is needed.
The same RF switch is therefore implemented on RX1 path to guarantee the same path
characteristics (insertion loss, electrical delay).
Below schematic depicts the connection from SR150 to the antenna. In this configuration
ranging and 2D AoA are fulfilled.
